Thread: K&N intakes--who buys 'em??

    Default K&N intakes--who buys 'em??

    OK, I tried to sell a K&N intake gift certificate on here a while back, but had no takers. Plan B is to purchase from K&N an actual intake, and then sell the item on EBay. Question is--what is the best target audience for aftermarket K&N intakes?
    Is it domestics--Corvettes, Mustangs, pick-ups? Or is it the Honda crowd?

    Any thoughts? I want to purchase the intake that has the best chance of being re-sold quickly.

    I would try running searches on completed auctions for different models, and see what seems to net the most money. I'm going to bet it's something American.

    Sorry Speed, I'm needing something like a Spinduction or other Spec type filter/intake for more HP than you get from K&N.

    Look into Jeep intakes as well. Lots of peps out there bolt that stuff on.

    Hummer intakes seem to be the most expensive (north of $500). Not sure I can get a $500 item out of my GC though...

    The only thing is think about people who buy parts for their cars? The more expensive the car, the more likely the person is going to buy the part at a shop and have it installed there. The cheaper the car the more likely they will be shopping on ebay for a deal. But if you just want to get the highest priced KN item to sell then you can probably still find someone looking on ebay for their expensive car.
