So i told myself that i wasn't going to modify my GE and just save up for my GTE, weeeeeeeeelllll
EPIC FAIL! lol but it's a good fail, I was surfing around Amazon and it threw out a suggestion for me, and the suggestion was.........
Short Ram Injen Intake for a Lexus SC300. Now i looked at the price and it said $330 or sumthing like that, but then it said, "CYBER MONDAY DEAL! Buy it now for $105"

I saw that and went, CLICK...."ADD TO CART" haha no questions asked.
But it's not like i did it just cuz, i actually needed a new intake tube, my OEM one was ripped and i had to tape it for a cool minute. Anyways, i'm just glad i got it, it feels great, the throttle response is great, i was on the 60 coming from Riverside to LA and i hit 100 alot easier than before and i didn't even realize it.

Anyways, here's a quick pic.

 

It's hard to believe without a heat shield you saw any remotely noticeable gain since you're using the same diameter intake, but now catching heat from both the exhaust and the filter. I had the same I take on my 2jz in my IS3's (both of them) and only noticed a DECREASE in power without the manifold and filter shields. Once that aluminum heats up without the manifold shield it's downhill from there. It makes a nice noise though and seems to convince people louder is faster.

 

Daaaaaamn homie? How about cleaning that engine bay first before buying accessories?

 

Oh dam, my bad, i posted the wrong pic,
The heat shield is actually on, i just ran out of time and had to go to school so i just put the filter on and then put the heat shield when i got back.

Lol don't worry it's on there

 

Lol King phillip, just got her, but believe me, cleaning the bay is next on the list.
It's gna be tough cuz the previous owner didn't do a great job at maintanence

 

As long as youre happy with it.

 

Thanks bro! I am. It's not gna be a part that i'ma keep for the rest of my project, i just got it cuz it was on sale, and i did kinda needed as i said that my other intake tube was ripped.

 

cool man. but are you still gonna save up for a gte?

 

Haha YES! i am, but that's a bit more long term, i'm barely 19 and i'm going to school right now, and i just moved to the riverside area so i needa find a job as well. That would help alot towards my project haha, A JOB

 

hahaha im in a similar boat. hopefully it comes sooner then you expect man!

 

You can use your injen intake for when you do your swap.

 

That seems like a good deal for that intake. They are usually way overpriced.

 

Can you really? Hmm then i might want to keep it then

 

Yah aside from the price, it was something i needed AND wanted and not just wanted, cuz my oem tube was ripped so i just went for it

 

Incredible price, but as someone else mentioned....clean your engine bay
