The Injen Intake sounds much better than the AEM..

Low RPM's sound throaty and aggressive.

Mid - High RPM's sound nice and smooth.

No you do not have to take off the foglight for the intake system to be effective.

Regarding the engine cover, the material we use is Aluminum manufactured on a CNC press. Perfect fitment every time.

i saw a Note on the Injen web site :

A note regarding Cold Air Intake systems and Cold Air Extensions:

*Injen Technology Cold Air Intake Systems should be removed in any wet climates or on any wet roads or highways. Failure to comply with the above warnings may cause water to be absorbed into the engine through the filter causing serious damage to your motor.


what does that mean?

thanks

I think that's just Injen covering their own asses in case somebody with an Injen intake installed on their car drives through a lake and blames the hydrolock on Injen's intake system. :mrgreen:

Default Scion intake in colors?

Injen is offering the Scion intakes is Polish, Black, Red, and Blue at this time. The red and blue is at a limited supply right now. After they are gone they must be special ordered.

Thanks for your time.

Does the breather hose attach upstream or downstream from the MAF sensor? It's hard to tell from the photos.

Thanks!

yes, I love this Injen Intake System. I love the growl coming from the front of the car. The car pulls harder. I'm not sure how much hp gains though.

Yes feels good. very easy to install. Mid-high rpm range gains are nice.
