i was riding around, thinking about that today while in traffic...i saw a video a while back where some kid in a built import was being hassled because he didnt have his carb sticker...

the reason that im asking, is that my el cheapo intake is physically identical to the 300+ dollar units sold by AEM...i know that AEM will powder coat, etc...but as for the shape and location of things like the MAFS and PCV, they are the same...
