INJEN>ALL other on the market at this time, i have seen the fujita installed and the KN installed, this one is just better quality, they put some thought into it, good price too 218 shipped(TTR)


i know it is actually my camera 3.1mpx
in person
in the sun the car looks like a sunburned lobster(super cherry red_)
if you look at my pics in the gallery, the ones in the shade or at night look like a total diff car

Damn there's like no scratches on that intake. Mine is all scratched up from installation because it was really tight and wouldn't fit in the hole properly. The black intake looks sweet.

i put rubber hose split down the middle on the fenderwell hole and the core support
i also wrapped the whole intake filter and all in plastic sheets we have here at the shop

when i was satified with the fitment, i just unwrapped it like a present, already installed!
thats Pro Moves baby!

only fitment problem right now is the filter is pressed against in inner bumper, but ill address that if it becomes an issue

Hey nice pics. So tell us what HP are you looking to gain on the upgrade ??
Why did you pick Injen over the other brands ?

Yeah my intake sits in the wheel well kinda weird. It's on an angle and it's not that low to the ground as I thought it would be. But yeah my intake tube on the one side is scratched up as all hell. That's probably why K&N gave me two stickers, probably to put one over the scratches after installation lol.

LOL

oh and gains, the throttle response and pull are much smoother
the air sound like it rifles thru the metal pipe alot better

injen claims 17hp, but i notice quite a bit more than the air box mod with larger cone filter and that one had a inlet on the front of the filter too so being realistic id say a solid 10hp over my baseline dyno in my sig

Great low end and top end

Does that intake let you close your hood properly ? Looks like it protrudes a little

Nice, clean car! Well taken care of! My car is covered in road salt I see you ziptied the ECU back, I did the same. Connector was hitting the rubber boot. Also put rubber hose around fender openings and kept plastic around during install, no scratches either.
As far as the filter hitting the fender on the inside, I did not use the original stud. I fabbed my own and moved it about 1-2 inches to the right. That moved the filter away from the fender, but slightly makes the tube hit the inner fender well, which I can live with.
