Default Best intake for the xA

Hey all,
I recently got my exhaust on (TRD) and have been considering a new intake but am not sure which one to go with. Was hoping some of you would have suggestions on what one would be best? Yes i will even entertain the home depot ideas...LOL


Thanks

Horus

The 1NZ is such a small engine, no intake is going to produce a ton of power. Most will realistically give you +1-2 HP. I'm a fan of Fujita, but the big guys all make quality stuff.

the rubber mounts may come broken in-half (like mine did) the silicone hose is pretty cheap, filter isn't too too bad at least from looks, but our 1.5l engines can't require too much air. The rubber coupler that goes to the throttle body isn't blue. its black, and the other coupler is blue.I left them negative feedback and they told me that you dont see it anyway lol. I made my own mount and its good now and I would have done it again.

plus I beat my friends fit twice at the drag strip and this was my only mod!

I had a Fujita SRI for my xA and it was great. Awesome sound and better throttle response! Cannot say much for hp gains but it was still cool to hear. I am going to be selling it soon. No longer have vehicle! From experience, it was cheaper than AEM and Injen but just as good in my opinion.
