I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but it won't give you any power. But it sounds nice.

Hope this isn't a repost reply

Go for a 06-07 rev-up airbox with the larger sized trumpet inlet snorkel plus a z-tube, that'll be close to the max performance on the intake end while producing a little more sound and better throttle response. Discreet too.

Our stock intakes are designed very well from the factory. You should expect a much deeper and vibrate induction tone after 3500 RPMs, performance will remain the same.

+1 06 airbox,z-tube,drop in K&N, probably the best performance with more sound and throttle response. All other intakes will have a much greater sound with maybe a 1-2hp increase. Getting a tune is always good too.

If you want a gain from your intake, get a plenum spacer... then get a tune...

Fujita originally designed their intakes with a Tornado inside for certain cars because those things actually made power...

if such a $30 item works so great, they would be installed from the factory because every company was trying to target better fuel economy, i'm sure all the big companies bought them and tested and found them to be failures, OR if they did actually work they would of installed it on the new cars.

back on topic, looks like everyone stated it, z-tube for looks and noise, not so much for HP hence why its $40-60
