Proper Intake?
Alright everybody, I feel like I'm going to go insane here. I've been searching for a very long time now, trying to find an Intake(Short Ram and Cold Air) for my 2000 SC300. The only thing is, the ones that keep popping up are the ones from 1995 to 1997, and I keep hearing that those won't fit at all on the 2000 model. And yes, before anyone says it, I've tried Search, and my Search-Fu is weak. So, if anybody could help me out here, that'd be great.
-Thanks!

But would the IS300 one fit?

It is weird, but I dunno, I just dislike the look a whole lot. And when you say it's superior, do you mean gains-wise? Say I were to drop an Injen one or something similar in there. Would I lose power instead?

+1- True that - Cold air = scam. The factory DID NOT make a mistake like not getting enough cold air into the engine. Millons upon millions of $$$ in R+D only to leave HP on the table my not getting enough air?
Waste of money IMHO unless you really spin the engine or increase displacement. You might actually lose HP as well as cook MAF sensors from the oil on the filter.

ya you would lose lower on the low end. Its superior for 2 reasons. First their is more air inside the stock filter then in a short ram replacement. That means when you floor it, you have more air that can easily enter the engine. Second paper has been proven to filter out particles the best. The only upside is if your engine is now pulling in more power at the top-end, but in the real world on na, its going to pull slightly more air because your filter is now filtering out less particles.
On a car like a 2jz or 1uz which already has a good stock air intake, those aftermarket ones are a complete waste of money.
