fujita and mmw both make intakes for our car, as in the 07, search harder.

Ya, just re-read that... Fujita definitely makes an 07 version.

As for the mimo, I really don't recognize the brand, so it makes me wonder what the quality is like (not that I know everything... just saying). And I doubt their intake fits "2004-2007" as stated... and stuff like that makes me wonder if they really know anything about our car. There is no 2004 model - any tC sold in 2004 is a 2005 model - as well as there being changes for the 2007 model (as you've found out) that would not allow the same one to work from 2005-2006 on a 2007.

I'd probably pass on their product.

Yeah, it did seem fishy when I was reading it. And i actually jsut found the Fujita for the 2007 model, but damn is it expensive! $279 for about 7hp gain while the injen claims to give you 13hp for a few extra bucks. I guess im going to have to find a good deal.

not familiar. Also, intake for under 100? Too good to be true

Mimo usa is just another 2Kmotors...
ebay junk with a name...

the 05's were released around Nov 04 so "technically" they are built in 04...

any place that claims that it will fit 04-07 can't be trusted...

your best bet is to find a brand name intake USED, since all brand names are over 200$.
