So im having trouble tryin to figure out which intake is best for my 06 tc .... im tryin to choose between injen cai and the fujita cai. which cai would be better ?

go with Fujita if you can get it at a resonable price, they are quite expensive but much better than Injen. i just installed my F5 yesterday and it runs better than most intakes. If your concerned about price then go with the Injen.

Intake dyno test done by GSC proved the Injen to be better by only 3hp. But after meeting Fujita at SEMA they are a top notch group and you will be happy with their product.

didnt the injen have a better A/F ratio as well

Yea, the Fujita was a little leaner throughout the RPM band, too bad it didnt give anymore HP.

Yes it did, it outperforms all other brands, which is why i bought Injen. :bow:

cant go wrong for $210.

i can get it for 200...thats why im gettin it. plus 3hp is alot when it comes down to it. 200 for more hp, or 250 for less? who cares about looks..its about the performance

dam.. u got urs 4 210 i just brought my from gb for 234 lolz dam its gonna take 2 weeks, i went with injen 2

INJEN, lol. youll be alot happier

My friend that has a EP3 knows some people at Show Stoppers. I like to shop around before i purchase anything. Plus with all the shops here in SoCal, Eventually you will find the right price. :D I actually bought two of them also, one for me one for my bro. But hes paying me back. HaHa

i got the TRD cai i like it a lot. when i raced a 04 v6 tiburon all i had was the TRD exaust..i lost Then i put in the cai and i beat him by at least 11 car lenthes...i dont care if u believe that i know what went down. edmunds says that the v6 tiburon has 172 hp, i got my tc dynoed and i have 185hp..again i dont care if ya believe me.

What mods in full do you have done, and do you have a Dyno Sheet?

TRD Exhaust and Intake doesnt land anybody even near 185"w?"hp. Thats TRD Supercharged territory.

lo i knew a mr. technical would pop up some time or another, like i said u can choose to believ or noy but i am running 185, as for the dyno sheets im sorry i dont know where i put them, and im not spending 200 dollars to have my car dynoed again :P

Well im sorry but in all Honesty, your car will not make 185hp with only those two bolt-0n's. I would be willing to put money on it that your car does not make the power you claim. If you could simply buy a TRD Exhaust and TRD Intake and with those two mods alone bolt-on 185hp, than why would people waste 3k ish on the SuperCharger?

anytime u wanted go title to title bro, anyways the spend like 3 grand cuz it looks asthetiacly pleasing to their eyes

cough cough evr heard of a down pipe and s pipe hahahaaaaaaaa

damn it man...natrual aspiration!!!!!!!!!!

Watch out for Scion_jon... He got beat up the other day and has a huge chip on his shoulder, and a bloody nose...

And your set up is okay, but an intake and an axle back is not going to produce that kind of gains. Maybe a full Intake, Header, S-pipe, Catback and some pulleys may get you close to that. But then again, you have the right to your own opinion.

scion jon...you are NOT making 185 HP or WHP.. no way possible. the TRD cai will yield a max, MAX or 5hp, same with the TRD axleback..which would yield 10-15hp..that would only get you 175 MAX to the crank..which in real terms is like 155 to the wheels

Back to Fujita/Injen guys.... ON TOPIC or PM's.

Both intakes are strikingly similiar... I like the looks and performance of the Injen better, but Fujita has a good name growing too... between the two, I'd give it more personal preference than anything, to be fair.

go injen
i love it

lol Everyone gets Injen, it's not the best.besides,the sound isnt as good.you hear the Fujita, you'll want more.It's so much better than the Injen. and more reliable as well

more reliable?

better sounding?

better intake?

where are you gettin your info from.

how is an intake reliable? how long has anyone had theres, the tC's have been out for two model years..so that cant really be judged for reliability.

better sounding? ive ridden in cars with both, they both sound the same to me, imho the KNN sounds the best, but performs the worst. and plus sometimes intakes are not solely for aesthetics..if he wanted good looking, he would get the ARC, or MMW

better intake? i highly doubt it, they are makin a name for themselves, but they are overpriced..i mean is it necessary for a hat and duffle bag? no, so make the price down to low 200's and forget that stuff.

Just bought my Injen(black) :love: so purrty! Can't wait to put it on!But hell $210 mine came out to $260! :tap: Have to stop impulse shopping!Check the Archives , I remember they compared some of the Intakes and Injen had the best gains!

i remmember reading about some dude saying that the fujita cat back sounded like a subaru wrx sti, is that true, or a bunch of bs. i think that would sound hot

Which Injen Intake are you all talkting about? I looked on the website and they have like 5 different models.

there is no fujita cat back...

The WRX sounds the way it does because it has unequal length manifold tubing, which creates its unique sound. :love:

Never been beat up, or been in a fight for that matter. Did a little boxing with friends in HS though. Being 6'2" and having tons of reach comes in handy. :silly:

:rofl: I dont think he know Fujita is strictly Air Intakes.

I just bought the Fujita. I'm going to install it next week. If you can wait till then I will give you my opinion of it. I like the way it looks installed. I know a dude around the way who has it installed. Has a really nice clean look.

so it seems that injen is over rating the fujita from wha i have been hearin from everyone, but which one has a better a/f ratio?

as stated earlier the Injen does...the FUJITA CAI acts like a SRI..so its stupid

The better gains and a/f ratio goes to Injen.

Yo,

I think the injen and the fujita is the same. The design and the engineering is both the same.

I remember reading somewhere here that some of the people that designed the Injen cold air left Injen and went to Fujita and designed theirs, not sure how true this is, but they do look a bit alike. Like someone else said, most of all the popular intakes were dynoed and the Injen did the best, I love mine and I would not trade it in for anything else.

CAi's are pretty easy to install arnt they?

lol nerek. you crack me up. we all know the injen intake is better then the f5... ill put my stock exhaust back on and give you a head start and still beat you LOL. you with your slow a$$ auto tC :P




(incase anyone couldnt tell there is no hostility betwen us lol we are good friends.... im kiddin.... kinda :rofl:)

sigh.YOUR the one who talked me into it!!lol

yea lol cuz i didnt want you to have the same intake as me LOL :silly:

okay wehre is the cheapest to get the injen? i saw on house of scion they had it for 229 but that was teh polished on, i want it in black, any1 know?

i think showstoppers has it for 220 shipped.

I like how the Fujita is mounted. Its not bolted to the bracket on the transmission mount (or whatever it is) like the K&N and Injen, so it wont break it.
On my car that bracket was bent back half an inch within 3 months.
Several people broke the bracket, got it welded back, and broke again.
With the Fujita, you get a duffle bag and hat. lol.

from my understanding, the guy who created Fujita used to work for Injen... :)

^ lol thats awesome

Is there any difference, performance wise, between the black or polished Injens, or is it strictly a looks thing?

I would go looks only. I can't see how the color would make it better

I was just thinking maybe the polished finish would reflect heat , or something. But I'm sure even if it does the effect would be minuscule.

Is there any difference, performance wise, between the black or polished Injens, or is it strictly a looks thing?

a polished intake reflects heat, while a black intake absorbs heat, thus forcing slightly hot air into your engine. heat robs engine power. so the black intake will make your car slower...
















you know i'm just kidding. its all on looks.. the black polished one will make your engine bay look more discreet to cops (because cold air intakes are illegal in CA),

black one is hot, but good luck trying to put on the cold air pipe without scratching up a nice chunk of it.

i bought a injen cai on tuesday and i love it , sound is great i was fully stock b4 this here it is looks sexy too
