WR does make an intake just for the SC. Check their website under intakes. Do you have and SC300 or 400?

i actually got the sc4, my mom got the new sc430 and i was like "dude this cars better than hers". but yeah, i saw that site from a google search and i was loooking through there, it looks like its only for the sc3 tho, unless its universal. i also cannot find any sites (IE eautoworks.com or overboost.com) that deal with an intake kit, i just find the different parts. thanks for the help, i dont want to buy anything before i know it fits my car. looking forward to the smart people helping me out, thanks in advance

I recommend doing a search for the SC400 BFI DIY instructions. Most people have achieved respectable results without spending a lot of money or time - and there's no question that it'll fit .

Default Do a BFI

I agree do a BFI conversation, before spending money on a intake kit. No need of spending some of that 2g's on a intake. How about a loan?

The best intake designed so far is the BFI. They have some pretty detailed instructions and even templates on planetsoarer.com. It's a DIY project. You can save the money and get either a torque converter or ECU. good luck.

www.planetsoarer.com

They have templates you can download and use. You can make the cover anything you want. Black plastic to blend in or you can even use an aluminum cover for the WR heat shield type of look. Pretty cheap to make too. Should cost you no more than $20. Good luck.

I actually do have the WR intake, exhaust and ECU. I love all of them. However, I didn't notice as much of a gain with the WR intiake as other people did with the BFI. I really wouldn't be able to give a fair comparison of both until I did the BFI and dyno'd both.
