Air intake crap - Kamotors Performance Carbon Fiber Filter 3" Cold Air Intake BMW VW
As you guys are all aware, I am doing my V8 conversion. I can not use the 4runner air filter box nor can I use the Sequoia air filter housing. So i had to come up with my own.
Any way, I found an enclosed filter housing on e-bay. Neat idea, Lets me grab cool air from the stock snorkel location.
I order it, pay the $83 and the ****er false advertised it. What an ******* mother ****er **** douche bag. He labels it as a 3" intake but in reality, it is only a 2.75" intake.
the intake on the 2UZ is 3". Will it be restrictive, I don't know. I am bitter about the whole situation. I asked for a refund. He declined. I am now flaming this re****. Basically just a public service announcement to let prospective buyers, who do internet searches, not to buy from KaKa Motors.
Here is his ebay listing
Quote:
Selling Kamotors' Universal Ver.4 Carbon Fiber cold air intake. 100% real carbon fiber. This is the New Ver. 4 kit with rubber strap. This Filter replaces the factory airbox and bolts directly to the MAF or AFM(for AFM cars an ebay MAF adapter is needed).This kit gets a larger volume of air and will outperform just about any other setup on the market. The filter is enclosed in a 9" by 5" carbon fiber heat shield canister. I have personally installed this kit in BMW's, Datsun 280z, zx, Jeep, and VW Jetta. If you engine bay has about 9.5" 5.5" inches this Filter can be installed installed in about 30minutes.
Picture Number 2 shows the New strap design( It will Have The Kamotors logo on the body). Picture 1 shows the complete version 4 BMW kit.
Remember this is NOT an auction for a bolt on kit, hoses,clamps or couplers may be need to install this kit on your vehicle.
Keeps intake temps 50+degrees cooler than an unshielded cone filter setup and more than 15 degrees cooler than the OEM airbox setup. This kit will fit everything from BMW's, VW, Subaru, Audi, Nissan, Datsun and much more. I've used this Filter in many different cars with great results. Filter uses a 3" inlet and outlet which means that it wont be a restriction, similar kits on ebay only use 2.5" inlets which will restrict performance, don't be fooled by cheap imitations, they use a lower quality filters and will not perform as well.
This Auction is for the canister, assorted couplers, and bracket. Please check other auctions for Full kit for the BMW E30.
Kit includes
1-100% Carbon Fiber canister w/ enclosed air filter 3" inlet outlet stubs
The filter uses a pointed cone tip to help straighten turbulent air.
3- assorted coupler, which you may or may not need.
1-New Ver.4 rubber lip metal filter bracket
1-Straight bracket
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
With this Filter you can have a true Cold Air Intake. Usually when people want to get a cold air setup they end up removing there high beam or cutting a hole in the car to get air from below, but with this kit you can easily redirect air from the grill or valance into the filter. The cooler the air, the more power. If you are just using a cone filter you are actually losing power because of the hot engine bay air your filter is breathing.
A heat shield blocks the hot air but you aren't really getting cooler outside air to your filter unless you have this CAI setup. The canister has a 3" inlet which lets you direct out side air into your filter, with this kit your filter won't reach temps above the outside air temp.
The filter is completely enclosed in a Carbon Fiber shield. Since no separate shield is needed or would be a benefit, installing the kit is a breeze and you get much more freedom on deciding how you want it mounted.
This kit will give a performance gain and a very unique sound that's only possible with a carbon fiber enclosed filter. Gives better throttle response, MPG(if driven normal), power, and cooler Intake air temps.
Do not install the bracket to any ground points on the vehicle.
Shipping usually takes no more than 48hrs but can take up to 5 days, if the shipping is delayed for any reason I will contact you and ship it out with a faster service so you still get your item in a timely manner. Please be patient, and contact me when ever you want for order updates or questions.
Customer reviews
"the first thing I noticed was better throttle response with the CAI"
"I can vouch for this product."
"High quality on the products I obtained. I was very pleased. Thanks to you!"
"I have one of these CAIs and it is great!
I feel a little bit of added acceleration in 3rd and 4th.
awesome product!"
"Just posting to let anyone on the fence about getting one of these know that they will not be disappointed. A perfect compliment to the miller maf conversion."
"Recieved mine from KA Motors. Let me tell you... I'm super happy. It's a very clean install and clean product. Looks FANTASTIC on just about any application. Very well worth it "
"intake is cool to the touch on my M42 with this thing installed, thanks for a quality product "
"Good seller, good product, great price, quick shipping. What else can you ask for?"
"I bought a KA Motors carbon intake for my E30 318iS and love it.
I removed the muffler thing on the end of it though and just have the pipe feeding into it without the 3 inch cover thing on the end, sounds a LOT better this way!"

If you paid via paypal (or even if you didn't) you can protest the auction after so many days and given the quotes from the auction of it being 3" and your picture of it NOT being 3 inches, I think you can get your $$ refunded.
"Filter uses a 3" inlet and outlet"
Pretty obvious by your pic that it ISN'T 3".
I would stick it to that dude. I have had great success with getting Paypal to refund my $$ from jerks like this, all that is needed is proof.
If you need help, hit me offlist and I can walk you through it if you've never done anything like it before (I am sure you have, just offering)
Good luck!!

File a paypal claim right away. Submit your emails.
I think you will win. From what I have ready PayPal is very biased in favor of the buyer if it was an auction or buy-it-now sale. They will forcefully take the funds but you may have to mail it back.

Okay so, I completely forgot that this plugs in directly into the MAF. So mine may not work. Here are the pics:

Here is what he wrote back to me.
Dear claytonguns,
Its a 3" inlet and outlet, go to any auto parts store and you will see that it only fits 3" couplers, a 2.75" automotive coupler will slide inside of it. I will not offer a return because my Item is exactly as described, it is a 100% true automotive 3" inlet and outlet. Maybe you needed a 3.25" inlet but my auction does not state that it will fit 3.25" pipes.

Dear kamotors-performanceparts,
Your Intake says that it is a 3" air intake but inreality , it is 2.75" intake. You have mislead me and this is not as described. I understand you don't do returns. I want some money back as I can not use this. My MAF housing is 3" and the your intake will not attach to it plus, if I was to use it, it would restrict my air flow because it is stepping down in hose size. I understand that e-bay is a gamble, but I bought yours thinking it was as described.
Offer some good customer service and return at least something. I don't care how much but it is the princeable behind it.

Dude you should really see this ....
Paypal will back you but you have to file a 'item not as described' claim. The seller is clearly an idiot. He should just offer a refund upon receiving it back. If you file a claim he might lose even more $$$ because they will withdraw the money from his account without allowing him to dispute it.
PayPal dispute ends in destruction of violin | Digital Media - CNET News
Quote:
A Regretsy.com reader named Erica related yesterday how she sold an old French violin "that made it through WWII" to a buyer in Canada for $2,500. However, the buyer disputed the authenticity of the label and demanded his money back. When the buyer contacted PayPal with his concerns, the payment processor instructed him to destroy it and refunded the purchase price.
"Rather than have the violin returned to me, PayPal made the buyer DESTROY the violin in order to get his money back," Erica wrote. "They somehow deemed the violin as 'counterfeit' even though there is no such thing in the violin world."
He even sent the seller a photo of the destroyed violin ("The buyer was proud of himself," Erica wrote.)
"It is beyond me why PayPal simply didn't have the violin returned to me," she wrote.
So why didn't he? Apparently PayPal's user agreement includes a dispute resolution process for items "significantly not as described" that gives it the last say on items it suspects are fakes:
Further, if you lose a SNAD Claim because we, in our sole discretion, reasonably believe the item you sold is counterfeit, you will be required to provide a full refund to the buyer and you will not receive the item back (it will be destroyed).
In a media statement defending the policy, PayPal said the destruction of goods it suspects to be counterfeit is in accordance with many countries' laws. "The reason why we reserve the option to ask the buyer to destroy the goods is that in many countries, including the U.S., it is a criminal offense to mail counterfeit goods back to a seller," the company said.
Despite Erica's assertions that violin counterfeiting is nonexistent, experts at the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers point out that "millions" of "Stradivarius" violins have been produced by violin makers in Europe, while Antonio Stradivarius is thought to have created only 1,100 during his lifetime.
Even though Erica said she had the violin "examined and authenticated by a top luthier prior to its sale," it's unknown what persuaded PayPal that the item was not the genuine article. PayPal did not respond to a request for comment on that point. The company is reportedly reviewing the matter.

Did this ever get resolved?
Just wondering if the seller made it right or if you had to give him a bunch of crap to get any satisfaction.
