Just Installed - Fujita F5 Air Intake
#17
Looks great. Now you have to chrome out the rest of the engine compartment and braid the hoses in red too.
When you mention its louder with the intake, are you saying the suction sound of air is louder or is it a low thundering sound? I've ridden in cars with air intakes and they vary in sounds. Some are louder swooshes sounds, while others have a more rumble sound.

how much did u pay for this? looks similar to the injen intake. isn't owners of fujita former injen employees? reason why i ask is i think the injen intake is a little bit cheaper. although fujita intake sounds better than injen (its just me). good thing ur engine cover is red..not pink. haha.
did u decide which exhaust ur gonna go w/?

Tom's Racing makes the one I've seen, but it cost $12K! Nice, but out of my budget for now! (and may be for a long time!)
I'm really curious myself, that's why I'm doing it. (Aside from my insanity!
Not too sure about red hoses, but I have seen the braided hoses in black nylon. I did start to change the hoses to the stainless braid but didn't like the way it looked so I changed my mind. About the noise, I don't hear it much driving normal, it does come alive when you punch it though. You can really hear the intake growling. Nice!!!
I would have been fine with the Injen Intake, but they didn't offer one to fit the '04 LS. I sent in an inquiry to their website and they replied that they only offered an intake for the '01 - '03 LS and that they weren't compatible due to the plumbing. I was kinda bummed because Fujita was a bit more expensive. I would have much rather paid alot less especially since the performance was so closely matched. By the way, I really dig your ride. I've seen it once while I was in Houston (I have an office on Westheimer and I saw it on HWY 6 one day on my way home). It was real hard to miss.

thnx man. Dude, if you live here in Houston you should come to our VIP meets that I have about once a month at random places. Me and a few fellow clublexus and vipstylecars members meet up at my shop then drive out to a bar or resturant and just kick it. Next one is coming up soon. Ill post up the meet on clublexus this time....

You'll love it! I have the injen intake coupled with the Wald exhaust. It sounds really mean at WOT. Too bad my lead foot along with today's gas prices equals an empty wallet. These gas prices are too much!

The Fujita actually uses the OEM MAF sensor. It's integrated to the intake along with the vaccuum hoses and a couple of other OEM parts. It's a well thought out product from what I can tell. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks for asking.

I'm having the Magnaflow #14577 in Stainless installed and I'm using a Flowmaster #15365 Tips. I'm sure there may be some folks that may not agree with my choices but I personally like the way the Flowmaster Tips look. The lips are rolled and it's made out of Stainless Steel. I don't have the mufflers installed but they will be soon. I had the tips installed myself. They will require some fabrication to make them work because the OEM exhaust is doglegged and only 2" but the Flowmaster Tip is 2.5". That made it easy to slide in and compensate for the doglegged angle. Comments/Opinions/Questions...
