Haven't used the brand but the seller is good, used them for other car parts before.

Yeah I've got one in my V3 STI motor & a few mates have bought about 7 or 8, for their cars, very good quality for the price & ZENAracing are great to deal with, usually at your door within 4 working days
Showed mine to MRT's rally development mechanic & Steve from MMS & both said great for the price.
You'll need to do a bit of trimming here & there but nothing too difficult.
If you offer them $85.50 you should get it, that's as low as we could get them down to.

Comparison between my old & new.

Well the one I & everyone else bought had 4 layers of reinforcing so I have no idea where you bought yours.

unless they have more reiforcing on the ver 7-9 wrx/sti intake. i had one from the same brand for a 98-00 and it was terrible i could sqaush it into a ball.

i can definitely recommend the following...

Nah mine was as hard as a rock & jammed in that tight the only way it could squash would be to stick your hand over the inlet at full boost, mine's been perfect for the past year, I know 97RA has one which he won't be using so give him a PM & see if he want's to sell it, pretty sure he will.
