Re: OBX vs. bomz vs. AEM CAI\'s
I have been tuning vehicles for years (near 20 to be exact), and I, too, recently bought the BOMZ CAI, just to check it out. It is the same diameter, same grade aluminum (6061 I believe), and the welds are actually quite good. The filter sucks, but I am just going to throw on my ITG cone on it. The mounts lined up perfect for me, so consistency might be a potential problem for BOMZ (as others have stated it did not line up well). I have a AEM short intake, and the quality is identical as far as I can tell.
The real issue here is probably name. Everyone likes the brand names (and for generally good reason). Many tuners are loyal to their preferred brands (as am I), but this product may be an exception to the rule (as long as you toss the filter out and replace it).
Hey, for $85 shipped, it is one actual deal on eBay.
Just my 2c.
