Default more ebay crap
If you're looking to make a quick buck, might be an idea to go to supercheap, spend $40 on a crappy pod and required fittings. Next stop is the wreckers, spend $15 on the pipe from throttle body to air box. How much can this fetch you??

That's awesome, almost as good as Ticky snorkels on ebay....

Why spend $40 on a pod, when you can get an even sicker one in blue for like $15?!

I wonder what the starting price of that auction was, looks to me too many stupid people that don't know any better are putting that price up.

Ah well I'm off to the wreckers and supercrap so I can make me some money. With the profits I make from selling them I'll be rich in no time.

That's not a really unfair price, the $142.50 that it's up to now is though. Stupid people out there.

$42 is just about what this setup would cost new. Does large font, poor spelling and grammar increase the value?

Yep, as do exclamation points and using the words power, fuel economy, rare and bargain.
