Do you know if there are any differences in the cone filter ? Or do they mostly all just use a generic cone filter ?

When you are buying a product directly from China, you are most likely getting a copy of a copy of a copy. With each copy, the quality goes down a little bit.
If the price is too good to turn down and you are on a limited budget, you can give it a try but when you have brands like MAD offering products at a very reasonable price, you are better off getting it from a US company that has a reputation to keep and will offer solid customer support when needed.

I wasn't addressing IAW in my response; I have never heard of them until i read this thread. We were discussing the differences between purchasing an intake directly from China versus buying from a US-based company that manufactures in China.
I mentioned that if the price is exceptionally good, it's worth considering. This comment wasn't about IAW, as their pricing is higher than MAD's, making it a different conversation altogether.
