Default intake question

I've been looking for an intake. I narrowed it down to a Cone or an Injen. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have a 92 SC300 and have tried the BFI and Injen I prefer the Injen, it felt like it had better response on the low end.

Try the BFI it is a very cost effective DIY and does work well. If fyou are not familiar with the BFI do a search and you will find a ton of write ups.

Either way you will not be sorry.

I made a plate that replaces the stock panel filter, and am using a 10" long, 6" diameter K&N element, placed in the center of the panel, put a stud through the center of the filter with a cap on the end, nylok nut.
This took care of the tuning problems I was having when over 4,000rpm with the K&N panel replacement and using no front on the airbox(cut it out completely).
If the car runs lousy after putting a bigger filter on, that's likely a good sign, and that you need to re-tune the air/fuel mixture to regain the correct mixture again.
