Default K&N cold air intake VS Ebay cheaper intake

Hey ive been researching the numerous cold air intakes offered for camaros in general but right now im talking about my 94 z28 camaro. I was wondering how much of a difference in performance wise would the High quality K&N cold air intake be versus this cheap ebay CAI ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...Q5fAccessories ) I realize the prices are a bit diff its really K&N about $240ish vs Ebay CAI 55ish. I would really appreciate some opinions guys. Thanks a ton.

CAI inducton is the same on both, it only works only one way. So my opinion is the E-bay vs K&N is done to the the price & quality. If the E-bay CAI has a return policy I would look at it for the price.

Depends on what you want. For me I was looking for improved gas milage and a little more power. The ebay one is fine. Make sure you get the one that is a true CAI. See my build thread. (Page 7) If you want to drag race and plan on running high RPMs the the KN is a better system. One of our members has a built 3800 and found at the upper RPMs the Ebay intake will restrict air flow.
