Quick Intake Question

[A_C_Fanatic]

I noe theres alot of intake threads....but it was bothering me....which intake is better...Fujita or Injen?

[generic808]

It's personal preference. As far as performance goes, there won't be a big difference between the two; however, the Injen does come with a heat shield while the Fujita does not. I also personally think the Injen looks better.

do you really need a heatshield?

[generic808]

No, but I believe every little bit helps. The Fujita is cheaper, so if money is a concern, go with the Fujita. I have the Injen and I think it's fantastic. The sound it produces and the overall build quality are second to none.

I have it, but I don't know if its really necessary...anyways with 0C outside, I can't really tell

i mean money is a concern...Valentines day is comin up u noe...need the money for the wifey....but how much HP do u gain from either intake?

Some will say 12HP at the wheels, but please don't believe the hype. Real world results and inflated manufacturer HP claims are two very different things. It's not going to give you much power, but it will improve throttle response noticeably. I'm guesstimating maybe 5-7HP, but the sound you'll get from your motor is priceless. It also dresses up your engine bay pretty well. Since money is of a concern, just go with the Fujita since they both achieve basically the same results.

Check here : zerothread/304846 because the guys on here are trying to get a group buy from Stillen on the Injen's. If the price difference between the two intakes are only like $40 or so, I'd definitely go with the Injen.

Unless, like me, you have sub0C winters

Yeah, here in Hawaii with summer year-round, we need all the help we can get. I'm talking 85F degrees all the time. Any cooler air is better than the engine bay heat

haha thanks man....nah the price was a concern so i jut got it...but the fujita sound is like good or decent or wa?

Sound is the same if the intake's shape is the same. the bigger and the longer the intake is, the deeper it will sound. Thats the general idea

thats not much of an answer lol. On youtube they sounded the same. They sounded like your VQ on steroids haha!

I think the Injen also looks better! They are both achieving the same goal so just consider which one you think is best for you.. I live in FL so we need the heat shield to!!!! LOL

turn on your AC then redirect the flow to the intake
