Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake installation. 04 Es330
Good afternoon. Recently, I ordered an aftermarket intake that was supposedly a fit for the 04 es330 from autohance.com.
https://www.autohance.com/weapon-r-305-138-101-secret-weapon-intake.html
After all the excitement of waiting, the product finally arrived. After unboxing, i found major obstacles that prevented me from installing this product. The intake pipe that it came with had only 3 ports. 1 for maf sensor, 1 for engine, 1 for intake manifold. That's it. My question is, what am i supposed to do with all the little air hoses that is connected to the airbox? Should I just return the product.
There are atleast 5 air hoses that lead to the airbox or the part after that, which i dont k ow the name of. The part in the second picture with the white tape wrapped around (what is the name of it)? Is it possible to install an aftermarket intake system on this car. I decided to attempt this because i thought it would be a cool little project, but, not at the expense of decreasing performance. So please give me more info about this anyone. Thank you

The only thing you will "gain" with that intake is more noise, you'll be lucky not to lose power seeing it draws air from inside the engine bay.

i don't see the point of this intake at all. It's not drawing in cold air, or even doing it more efficiently. You might or might not lose power, but it will make more noise for sure and I'm not sure I see the point in that either. Why not get a fabricator to make a decent custom intake.
