none of them touch the battery. just that they are in the general area over the battery. i just think that its a bad design to have it cross over the top of the battery. this blocks access to it if i need to remove it and it poses a clearance problem if i decide to go for a different battery.

There's more room there than you think with the TRD, the battery comes out quite easily without having to move the intake

after i got my RS5.0 last friday i've been running hard ever since and on top of that i placed an order from pttuning for the injen cai blk until i got a call from pttuning yesterday told me the cai is on back order so i'm willing to wait 2wks for it. then out of nowhere i got an email from pttuning that the item have been ship today. so i was wondering whats going on here thinking is it some kind of error, btw i checked my email around 11:30am. then here is the big surprise, i saw a fedex truck outside my door 11:40am and when the driver carry that big red injen box coming to me it felt like an early x-mas for me coz i was expecting it to be ship 2wks later. i quickly unopen the box and install it into my baby, it toke roughly 30min and i was so surprise how easy to install it WOW. right after i'm done took it out and do a few quick runs around my block and i am so amaze how much the car pull at full throttle now and it was LOUD but i love it.very loud during full throttle and quite during casual driving so i am very very satisfied w injen cai. sorry for making this sooo long but i thought this is a good story to tell. btw THANX to all who help supply these great info in order for me to make a good decision that i'll be happy with for all the years to come, THANX again i really appreciate all your help. I'll post some pixs once my battery finish charging for my camera.

I was on TRD Sparks and noticed they have an Injen intake that they say has a pre-turned maf sensor and a dyno graph showing a supposed increase of 9hp. Is this one different than the one Injen has had out all along or has it just always been like that? I was just curious if this one is worth purchasing.

Here's the link...
