Default Need Help, Should I Buy This Intake Or Not

Im buying a used aem cold air intake off of someone.. He said used for under 15K miles.. Comes with all clamps etc.. Only thing that caught my attention was he said the filter has a dent from hitting the bumper but thats normal he said no holes in it.. selling me for $120.. is it a yes go get it the dent wont decrease performance or a no no?

AEM CAI's suck. I had one on mine and it always sputtered when it rained. They aren't too bad if you put a k&n filter on them, but I would say just order a JWT popcharger. I just took the lower pipe off mine and ran it as a short ram, because I have an intake vent.

cold air will give you more power, but not enough for you to feel it at all compare to a new popcharger
