^^No, but this is the first I've heard of it.
You're probably better off just hopping on ebay and buying one that's made for your car. You can get it equally as cheap, and it'll be much more likely to fit perfectly.

spectre is the name brand u find at autozone you can use the piping but buy a aem filter for it.
Yupppppp.
I buy ebay intakes for my cars, and then plan on putting K&N filters on them. But I never get around to it. lol
But yeah, you'll pay 80-100 (ballpark) for an autozone intake, so just go on ebay and get one for 30.
Spectre...
The spectre piping is junk. The inside of the pope is lined with something that flakes. Those flakes then enter your engine n cause problems.
I used a spectre intake on a 95 dodge intrepid as there was no aftermarket for the car. The, lining then flakes n damaged my valves. I had to tear the head apart n rebuild.
I've ran both a k&n n spectre filter on the spectre piping n had the same results. I trust there filter over the piping.
I'm not the only one that experienced this flaking either. I buddy of mine with an eclipse had the same issue n pointed out the issue.
