International Performance Centre / The Racers Edge

Marden, Kent TN12 9AB
UK Phone: 05602749906
Fax: 01634723530

Just so you know, Injen lists their SC430 Short Ram Intake for 01-03 only...
But it will actually fit ALL SC430 regardless of year. I contacted them for my 2004 and they told me that they could not guaranty the fit on other years simply because they didn't try it.
Hi Scyul

Tried several times to contact the International Performance Centre with no luck.
Ordered off eBay and should have it in about a week, thanks for your effort.

Best regards

Steve

Man, those engine compartments are gorgeous!!!
For those of you that want every part on your car to be the best, check out German or Swedish ABA hose clamps. Similar to the ones everyone is familiar with but most are stainless steel and they do not have open ribbing which can cut into the hose.

Just ordered one. The nice part is I sold off a bunch of old PS3 games on ebay and forgot I had a balance on Paypal. So my intake is practically free.

Ok, I must do this mod, too, thought the LED tails was the bomb, now it is this...never ending the BEST mod. But I agree, I need to be reminded via the GROWL. People see the Sc and they say wow...but they do not know there's a V8 under the hood. Must let them know.

Anybody see the Fast Five movie yet? Have you seen the SC in there?

Please le me know where you got yours.

scdroptop...please let me know who your supplier is?

How do we know they are authentic Injen?

Also what does it take to maintain the cone filter?

I see that the Injen intakes are specified for 2001-2003. Does anybody know if there is something about the later SC models that is different such as the mass airflow sensor? I notice that all the GS430, LS430 and SC430 intakes are listed on their website for only '01-'03.

Hi Bon

Check scyul's post (42) on this thread. Apparently it is not a problem.

Hi Mandyfig

I have ordered mine from here

, but apart from 'good feedback' I have no reason to recommend Reuben. I will let you know if all is ok when I receive it.

Mandy-I sent you a PM

Bon-I have a 2005 and there was no problem. I don't believe (if there is, Lexus never noted it on ANY of their year/model changes) there is any change in the intake system including MAF, etc throughout the years.

I ordered from this guy. There were a few others on ebay, but I noticed a couple of them had negative feedback for selling items that weren't in stock. This guy has 100% positive feedback. If he were selling counterfeit parts, I suspect it would have shown up in his feedback by now.

Looks good, is this a straigh forward swap from the OEM. Doe it require modification/rewiring of other parts beside the MAF sensor?

I just replace/install the suspension on my RSX, kinda getting into DIY now on.....

The reason I chose this guy is he charged $58 to ship to the UK and has 99.9% positive feedback. The guy Liquid ordered from wants $114 to ship.
Hopefully it will be OK, will let you know when I have it.
