They normally cost about $500-$600 installed i think

It looks like one of those cheap egay jobbies (from what I can tell from the pics). Steer clear of cheap/inferior quality OTRs, you'll only be replacing it with a better one before too long. These sell for about $100-150 on egay.

Pretend your gonna buy it then take it off his hands and smash the fcking thing over the guys head :rofl::jester:

If you really want it don't pay more than $100 for it.

But before you do put your hand inside and feel all the fibreglass hanging everywhere then ask yourself 'Do I really want my engine digesting this stuff?'

These ones look the same as the PT GMM etc ones, anyone know what the differance is?

[VNV8]

looks like very cheap material and a cheap & nasty filter as well. probably will behave like the one in the above video!

One word...... Quality......... PT, GMM and CSV produce quality OTRCAI in that style and e-bay has a lot of real nasty and cheap copies. Not saying all of the OTRCAI on e-bay are rubbish but this is really a case of buyer be ware.

Old saying applies, if it looks to good to be true it probably is.

If it is off ebay, I would be looking at giving it a miss, but on the other side, I do have one the same in my garage from GMM, and I'd almost say that is what it is. They come with those blue filters, or you can get a k&n for a little extra.
It appears to be missing the rubber sleeve that is used to attach it to the throttle body though, which might be hard to chase up.

If you don't go with it, let me know as I'm not using my GMM OTR anymore, as I now have an alloy one :)

Yep im hearing ya. Ive got a GMM one with K&N filter and i wouldn't imagine for a minute that GMM would sell shit. Just wanted to clarify.

I can highly recommend Ziggy's OTR - he's a sponsor on the forums. I have one with the K&N filter in it - worth every $ - They look the goods too :)

When it comes to your engine breathing - i'd spend more and go Alloy - IMO.

Good luck,

I have the Orrsom one fitted and can say they are a very durable and live up to their name. It's like most things always buy good trustworthy brand names :)

[R8Ryan]

I also have an Orrsom one, which is fitted to my VX Clubsport. They are a great product. Good induction noise too :)

Cheers,

I like everyone else is saying would steer clear of these cheap otrs. Is this one plastic or fibreglass, how thick is the material as there are a lot of thin plastic otrs out there that when fitted under accelaration close up on themselves and effectively block air flow. I purchased an alloy one from Castle Hill Exhaust and had it fitted as part of a tune for 450 I think was the price about 2 weeks ago. This is a good solid unit that will last forever.
