Default Fujita Vs. K&n

Hey,

I'm debating between Fujita F5 Intake and the K&N Typhoon Intake for my IS350. Price is the same for both. Any comments, ideas OR concerns regarding these 2 intakes ?

Thanks

Between the two I would go for the K&N. They at least have a heat shield to help reduce the amount of warm engine bay air that gets drawn into your intake.

I have to agree with James. Functionally and aesthetically, they are almost identical - with the notable exception of the heat shield. This not only reduces hot engine air from entering the air cleaner, but it also incorporates the stock cool air scoop, retaining the best feature from the OEM setup.

If I had to pick between the two I would go K&N. I like the JoeZ myself since it retains most of the original equipment and gets similar power gains. As said in the previous post the Ingen intake has just come out. I would also wait to see what the results are on this intake before you decide. If the results are good for the Ingen I may make a switch to that.
