i dont know how long you guys have been into modifying your cars, but i remember like 10 years ago when there were very few shops doing modification work for imports and people would pay through the nose for any work. partly because they didn't know better and there were less parts to go around, anyways there's always idiot people that dont know anything and get taken.

Hey i just installed my Injen Intake and it was a piece of cake. It's a no brainer just buy the intake you want and follow the directions. You shouldn't have any problems. I bought my Intake from here and they also have the Fujita for 245 with Free Shipping. Hope this helps. http://www.ptuning.com/html/search-r...s350&cmbBrand=

650 is horrrrible.

The intake itself is not worth more than 250.
I have a fujita intake in my car and i absolutely love it.( i also have an hks exhaust with the intake that makes the car sound 45 times better). Anyways, the fujita intake is very easy to install, and all the directions are listed in the DIY booklet they send you with the intake. Not only that, but you also get a free dufflebag, stickers, and a hat!...lol.

Overall, the installation took a little over 20 minutes. Its very easy.
