go with Fujita if you can get it at a resonable price, they are quite expensive but much better than Injen. i just installed my F5 yesterday and it runs better than most intakes. If your concerned about price then go with the Injen.

Intake dyno test done by GSC proved the Injen to be better by only 3hp. But after meeting Fujita at SEMA they are a top notch group and you will be happy with their product.

Yea, the Fujita was a little leaner throughout the RPM band, too bad it didnt give anymore HP.

My friend that has a EP3 knows some people at Show Stoppers. I like to shop around before i purchase anything. Plus with all the shops here in SoCal, Eventually you will find the right price. :D I actually bought two of them also, one for me one for my bro. But hes paying me back. HaHa

What mods in full do you have done, and do you have a Dyno Sheet?

TRD Exhaust and Intake doesnt land anybody even near 185"w?"hp. Thats TRD Supercharged territory.

Well im sorry but in all Honesty, your car will not make 185hp with only those two bolt-0n's. I would be willing to put money on it that your car does not make the power you claim. If you could simply buy a TRD Exhaust and TRD Intake and with those two mods alone bolt-on 185hp, than why would people waste 3k ish on the SuperCharger?

Watch out for Scion_jon... He got beat up the other day and has a huge chip on his shoulder, and a bloody nose...

And your set up is okay, but an intake and an axle back is not going to produce that kind of gains. Maybe a full Intake, Header, S-pipe, Catback and some pulleys may get you close to that. But then again, you have the right to your own opinion.

scion jon...you are NOT making 185 HP or WHP.. no way possible. the TRD cai will yield a max, MAX or 5hp, same with the TRD axleback..which would yield 10-15hp..that would only get you 175 MAX to the crank..which in real terms is like 155 to the wheels

Back to Fujita/Injen guys.... ON TOPIC or PM's.

Both intakes are strikingly similiar... I like the looks and performance of the Injen better, but Fujita has a good name growing too... between the two, I'd give it more personal preference than anything, to be fair.
