i understand that there has been extensive talk and discussion about the CAI by injen for the Accord Euro. BUT would anyone kindly direct me to any Australian Sellers because i am not fond of overseas buying. Plz correct me if im wrong about purchasing it from Australian dealers instead of US dealers
thanx
Tiago.
I understand just how you feel man. I was reluctant about buying overseas and I'm not fond of my credit card numbers being flown all over the internet. But PAYPAL and BIDPAY are 2 payment options which you use on EBAY and with 65 million + pple paying with paypal and bidpay, i think its pretty safe and secure. I bought my Injen CAI from EBAY.
I never bought anything on ebay over 100 bucks until I bought the INJEN. It was the best decision I made because now i love drivin the euro. ask anyone here who owns one and they'll know what im talkin about
But as for you tryin to source one here in Oz, i'm not too sure if they sell INJEN products here in oz fo you to buy. I remember a trader in the traders section selling INJEN CAI's for the DC5R. Do a search and you should get the trader.
If you're not fond of getting stuff overseas off the internet, you can always get the K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake from Oz. THis is avail. here and will cost you just about the same an INJEN and it sounds mean as just like the INJEN. Gains on the K&N are more or less the same as that on the INJEN
hope that helps in your decision making :D :thumbsup: good to see you're looking at investing in a CAI. trust me its a worthwhile mod for your car. guaranteed.
Ebay has one for $219 USD, is that a good price ($290 AUD) + Shipping.

i was apprehensive about buying from overseas too..but i eventually did.
I did a search around..Aussie prices for an Injen would be ard $550 and that's a pretty big difference.
I got mine landed for close to $400.
Try ordering from Kurama Motor on EBay, i paid by Bidpay...and they ship it pretty fast, they even changed the declared amt to $100 just incase i get taxed.
As the above ppl said it is pretty hard to get injen seller within Australia. If u do find one it is probably marked up and u have to pay more because u r going through the middleman...
Bite the bullet and save urself some money and buy it from a trusted seller through ebay to get best value... If not PM Stephen or Sulley and i'm pretty sure they can give the seller that sold them their injen...
Trust us its worth doing it to get a CAI... Its just bloody awesome...
hahaha thanks guys u have given me alot more courage then i need
i am certainly going to get the Injen CAI.
Just one more thing...instead of using paypal...do u think it is safe to deposit money in their bank account or is that out of the question?wat is safer? credit card threw paypal or depositing money in their account...
thanks Much appreciated
Paypal is much safer because they have built in security measures and ways to resolve disputes if they should occur. Depositing money directly into their account provides you with no recourse whereas with the credit card and Paypal you have those institutions working for you if you have any trouble.
There's also a good chance Paypal will be cheaper too as your bank will charge a fee for performing the telegraphic transfer anyway.
I've used Paypal a number of times when buying things from the USA and Asia without any problems, including my Injen intake kit!! Just buy it and you'll never regret it!! :D

thanx alot jolt i shall do sooo.........
just wondering, we dont get taxed for being 'new' products from overseas??...or is it just from america or how does it work...i want to buy an injen cai aswell but scared taxes and stamp duty etc etc will eat...cheers
I got my KN from ebay. arrived in 2 weeks max.
However i still havent put it on. are the low revs really bad when u guys got CAI, can u even feel the loss ?
Australia now has a free trade agreement with the US (note: not Canada) so there shouldn't be any duty to pay. You shouldn't have to pay any local (US) tax either.Quote:

both mine and stephens Injens arrived last month amd we both payed about $400 landed, no tax.
if u are prepared to pay me a premium i will asume the risk and order ur injen in from the states for you!!
I don't know for certain but if you look atQuote:

it says:
"Australia's tariffs on all other automotive goods, in particular car parts and commercial vehicles, will be eliminated from day one of the Agreement."
The Agreement started on 1 January 2005.
It depends obviously on the source of the goods, but there shouldn't be anything to pay on goods from the US...
From the FTAUS documents, it states that the goods have to be last processed/manufactured in US to qualify. So if Injen is ACTUALLY made in US, no problem.
You can go into any autobarn stores with the id number of the K&N intake, and they can order it in for you. not too sure about the injen tho...
correction:
10% duty NO LONGER APPLY (for any stuffs with 'US made')
but 10% GST still apply for transaction > AU$500 (with the shipping)
<AU$500 (after shipping) ==> no more costs.
cheers
Importing anything can be tricky…
Typically before 2005 there was 15% import tax plus 10% GST… on top of the shipping costs, then for each custom clearance there is a fee of 50 – 100$ for someone to classify the goods, this free still exits ;)
Not all things come in import tax free the goods must be made and solely produced in the united states, and have that stated in the invoice, if that’s the case the 15% import tax is dismissed, although you still need to pay the custom fee for classify the goods as tax free and then GST on the top of everything.

hi guys
for those who have the Injen CAI
can you please tell me Approx how heavy it weights including the packaging??
and approx wot dimensions of the packaging?
mine wasnt that heavy....somewhere between 8-15kgs
remember, it also has air in the box as well
the cardboard INJEN box is about....hm...about 1m long, 40cm high and 40cm deep
OMG i serious that it weight 8kg??
that heavy ??
i was planning to bring it back home when i go to US two weeks lata
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...3_137_full.jpgThats mine as it arrived.
Not sure of weight, but gives you an idea of size.
Hey you got the Numberplate cover too... Does it fit?
My K&N Typhoon CAI was externally wrapped in another box with all the soft stuffing and it weighed around 5-8kg too from memory so I guess the InJen unit would be similar
numberplate surround doesn't fit my slimline plates
Don't think id use it anyway
8kgs ??
No way, it only looks big. My little sister could carry it up with one hand so imagine that.
it should weight ard 5kg
i asked HA~
