2004 sc430 CAI
Can anyone tell me what cold air intakes fit the 2004 model. I tried to order the weapon r dragon, but it's out of stock. Every other manufacturer only lists fitment for the 2001 to 2003 model ( what is different on the 2004?). Thanks.

From what I have been reading on various threads. The Injen 2001-2003 has the same MAF sensor as the 2004 but you have to trim the engine cover a bit to clear the tube at the throttle end. Maybe that is the only reason they list it for 2001-2003....I'm guessing 🤔 the Injen instructions even include
connecting to the vacuum valve solenoid. Which the 2004 has, but some years don't. Anyways I don't see any other manufacturer having a CAI for the 2004.

There is no cold air intake for these cars, the injen one is just a hot air tube, you're sucking in hot air. Back in the day the srt intake at least had a shield and a tune piggy back. But just the injen isn't worth the money to suck in hot air.

Oh, I totally agree. These are not true cold air intakes, even if you shield them they will eventually heat soak after a good half hour of driving. I bored a 3 inch hole in my stock airbox about the same level that the stock air scoop enters the box, and opened up the headlight access port to 3 inches and ran silicone tubing around to a cone filter that sits in front of the radiator. So I had 2 air feeds. The MAF read 1.4 grams more air on my scan tool so it made a difference but now I want to delete the whole stock box and tubing and put in a direct feed from behind the front grill. Want an aftermarket intake because of the MAF air mount. So it will be a true cold air.
