Anyone purchased this intake duct?
I found these while browsing Ebay...just wondering if anyone had it, and how fitment was. I don't think it's Varis, I don't see it anywhere in the description.

its just a knowckoff of the varis intake, lots of members have them. in theory it would help cause you would get colder air directly to the filter instead of air goin up under the bumper, but i dont think youd see much if anything in dyno, but it looks clean

you're going to cut a BIG slot for it. just cut it smaller and then trim to fit. that's what i did and have no regrets

i think they may have resolved that issue though?

i have this one, i've had the shine knock off, and side by side, the ebay one from delsa is better looking, although the one from shine is fully carbon fiber as the one from delsa is just fiberglass with carbon fiber layer on top. it's still a good piece for the price.

i see where you're coming from man, but honestly if you take a look at the air duct i have and a varis one, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference once it's mounted on the car.
