What's the difference in all the different brands of CAI? Does the brand really matter? I've seen some nameless ones on ebay for like 50 bucks. What's the difference between these and the $200 ones?

Expencive Cold air intakes ussually have better materials that make it lighter and fit in the engine bay more neatly. They also come with a better air filter and heat shielding to keep the air cooler. Expencive ones come with paper work such as CARB legal so you don't get introuble with police or smog shops.

With that been said, the difference in horse power between the expencive and cheap ones are less then 1 hp.
