Talking 2000 ES300 Platinum

Hello guys and girls, I'm getting ready to pick up my ES300 next week from a friend of mine which only has 70k on it. It is mint condition since it belonged to my friends grandpa. I have one question since this forum profile is different then my other forum I'm use to. Can anybody help me with a good after market CAI i can get for my new Lexus ES300 I'm getting (suggestions)? Thanks. I'm also a member at TitanTalk.com, i own a 2008 Nissan Titan by the way.

Have seen proof that any of them work? The one mentioned most around here is the Weapon R. You can go to their website, and they're pretty and all, but they don't provide any dyno or track tests so you can see what you're getting for your money. You'd think they'd be proud of that sort of thing. The pictures of the ones I've seen show them getting air from under the hood, which means they're not really cold air intakes.

Unless you want more intake sound and a depreciation in value, I don't recommend removing the stock air box.

The 2k ES runs fantastic without any such mods. Enjoy it the way it was designed.
