If I was in the market for a aftermarket intake a hundred bucks would not make my choice.

Investigate.... which will do what you want.

There's a heck-ava lot more to intake manifolds than meets the eye.

If price is that crucial WAIT .

At those prices, buy them both, try them both, resell the one you don't want.
