Default Intake Question

Anyone have any pictures of either of the short ram intakes installed on their Scion?

Also was there notice in any increase of power?

Thanks

What I don't get is that it looks like all you do is pop off all the air box and put on a filter that cost over 200....... Is there anything else I'm missing???

no. that's all it is. a filter with a MAF sensor bung. the filter is conveniently located to suck in as much hot air as possible from the engine block which is 3" away from the filter.

i call it a hot air intake.

Is there any gains in horsepower, other then sucking in hot air? Wait a min.! That thing costs 200 bucks? Someone is ripping people off. Did it come with a muffler bearing? :D
