Default injen intake for a 96' sc300 will it fit??

ok injen makes a nice cold air intake for the 1992-95 lexus sc300- but in 1996 the EPA made most cars switch to OBDII and what i'm thinking is that Injen doesn't want to get involved with the EPA and DOT LEGAL crap so they don't post anything saying that it will fit 96 and newer!

so does anyone know if the injen intake kit for the 92-95 lexus sc300 will fit a 96 sc300 or newer?

and if anyone is running this is the intake sound much louder than stock?

the BFI works better than the Injen intake.

the intake on a facotry intake is very restrictive and there are not 1 but 2 chambers about 3 inches from the throttle body that traps air , just because you feed more air into a factroy air box doesn't make that much more HP i would think....

.02, well i don't think the engineers at lexus made a bad job /w the stock intake, the snorkel is placed kind of in a restrictive manner behind the headlight, but you can always reroute it to the front of the grill. And the contrast with Injen is that it sucks in more air sure, but its hot air.. i don't think the heatshield works too well with it. Unless you create a template around the cone filter then maybe...

It's not restrictive -- search on it

why you should leave the intake resonators:

as others have stated ...on THIS car, the airbox can only be made better by BFI. An aftermarket intake has been documented to lower WHP on a dyno on THIS car.

Do a search if you doubt it....I believe the owner was MadMaSC400.

The only way this is good is if you are adding a turbo in conjunction
