Hey, you're the guy who recommended the Stillen exhaust! I bought that too. I love it!

How does the new intake sound and feel with your exhaust?

Glad you like the Stillen exhaust, I think that was a pretty good buy from eBay.

I have not yet put the Fujita on yet, I keep so busy it's hard to even find time wash my car let alone install stuff. I hope to have some time next Thursay to put it on. I'll post how I like it then.

bought it from eBay, prob same seller. Just check and make sure the filter fits on the pipe. Me and a few others had issues with the wrong filter size. The filter is 2.5" but the xB kit uses 2.75"

I got the same one with the 2.5" filter, had to cut the end off the pipe to get it to fit.

I just got back from vacation, but before I left called Fujita and told them about the wrong filter. They sent me a new one for free, I just need to send them back the wrong one.

Great customer service!

I just took off my Fujita SRI yesterday. Besides the small issue I was having, I didnt like the loss of low-end torque. The gains for highway driving was nice, but I drive primarily in the city.

Now that the stock is back on, I love my car again. It accelerates better in the stop and go city traffic. I did notice the loss when I was training on the highway with a few tC's but I can live with that.

Good luck with your intake

Hmm.. L4arry_B1rd, now you got me thinking if I made a mistake ordering an intake... I just got one off ebay for $119, but I haven't paid...

Should I decide against getting the intake? I like in SoCal, so traffic is a #$%^&, I assumed it would only help my power and MPG... Please advise.

well, since many people have xB's with intakes, I dont think you will have any problems. I hardly drive on the highway so I never really used that increase in HP past 3.5rpm. But I did notice the loss in torque during my stop and go city driving, which is consistent with what I have read from others with the Fujita SRI (stew comes to mind since he did a review).

go ahead and buy it, just dont expect a miracle, lol.
