That seems like a killer deal. Am I missing something?
I don't think so, I think it's just a killer deal

Well there is things you can see that was used taken the budget route.
the harbor freight battery disconnect and the eBay 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct
would I do the same thing? Yes because I realize certain things don't have better traits just because they cost 5 times as much.
That being said you can see money spent on stuff that matters, oddessey battery $$$$$$
Also the title issue might have some reason for it.

eBay 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct
That's a Kamotors intake, they are actually a pretty good intake from what I have heard. IIRC they run about $150

Dom hit the nail on the head. Kameron re-sells the 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct kits that you can buy in bulk from Alibaba.
After failing to devise my own E30 intake, cramped up in the factory location with the factory AFM, ABS unit, and coolant reservoir, I bought the Kamotors intake.
The best thing about it is that it fits the E30 engine bay,
I don't trust it for filtration and the radii on the inside are dreadful for flow losses, but its pretty much all that exists besides the stock airbox.
When coupled with your run of the mill AFM adapter, you are faced with an even worse transition which creates a lot of turbulence and flow losses that hurt your low end performance.

I stand corrected, thanks for the info!

If you are looking for a little better filter, spectre makes a couple inline filters ranging from 3-4 inch inlet/outlet smooth look or flat edge. Part numbers are 9831-9833. No shame plug I make custom intakes and buy silicone couplers in bulk off of alibaba, I have up to 3 inch tube bender and bead roller.

You mean a chinese intake from Alibaba that kamotors buys in bulk, puts his name on it and resells for A LOT more?
aka I bought one off ebay (when I first bought my car) for more than half the cost that kamotors sells his for and compared them to someone who had his. Same shit.
But don't tell Brian since kamotors is his boyfriend.

I have a brand new KA Motors branded intake I'll sell for $35 ($5 extra since it has the sticker on it).

love it. 2 e36's both listed at 14k and both sellers needing to sell in order to buy a house in the same timeframe. I guess i shouldn't be surprised considering it's home-buying season.
That white one looks like trash. Anything with a sticker on the front windshield that says "just drift it" is basically an automatic fail
