ordered it for 128 dollars and some change. would have been only 108, but i went for the 2 day shipping.

so it should be on the car by tuesday.
im anxious to see how it does, anyone have this?

 

i know there were some post of this intake ...seemed kinda ackward to me how it wraped around like it did and the whole foam filter idea im just not sold on it ...im a k&n fan si kinda bias towards others..lol

 

yea i am unsure on the foam filter, i may change the filter out eventually. but for some reason, i really like the way it comes up infront of the engine like it does. it has a sort of "awesome" factor in my opinion. so if it does not produce much or any more power, im not gonna be mad. anyways.. its a dang xb.. im just trying to go with making the engine bay look nice, and having the car sound good and look good. im not worried about power.

 

ya i hear ya on that lol ..here is a pic from the post right above us witha pic of the kit

yea i saw that earlier, then was looking at my old post about how the perrin exhaust i ordered was discontinued and saw a link to the perrin site, and remembered how they have stopped making parts for the scions. so i was like. hmm i wonder how cheap they have the intakes on sale for. clicked the link and was like "ok im getting it!"

and i like the placement aswell due to its in a good area where water would have a hell of a time getting to.

 

a foam filter is a foam filter no matter who makes the foam filter

 

Yea, there's a lot to say about not worrying about hydrolocking it.
Good price, too. Also, the silicone isn't going to suffer heat soak like a standard intake.

 

man ur lucky 2 ge that intake at that price, I've had mine 4 about 7 months and I paid $250 plus shipping, haven't had any problems wit mine. I would suggest getting tha filter cleaner kit cuz tha filter does get dirty eventually

 

I come from the evo world and it now seems this is one of the filters to have. a company named CBRD made 10whp just exchanging the filter over a K&N with this Perrin filter. Note that is filter only no intake or tuning changes....

 

just froma filter no ish!!!

 

so i got it in the mail today.. yea so much for 2 day shipping.. im calling tomorrow and getting a refund for that haha.

so the install was simple.. except for the three bolts to remove the bottom section of the stock airbox.. i didnt have an extender long enough to reach them.. so for now the bottom of the airbox is still on the car heh.

so after installing.. i cranked the car and prayed for no check engine lights.. and none came on so i went around to the engine and manually revved it and wow.. it is a beast haha. i love the sound. though i cannot really tell a diff in power.,. it does sound much better. and it looks sweet. very well worth the money i paid.
