Default Aftermarket Intakes for 98+ SC300? (SRT)

I've just purchased myself a 98 SC300. Was looking around for an intake for it and haven't had much luck. I've ran across a few threads asking if the Swift Racing Technologies GS300/IS300 intake worked for the VVTI SC300s but no one had a definitive answer. So for those people with the VVTI SC300s, what intake do you folks use?

Thanks

Do you know if the SRT intake works for the SC300 without check engine lights?

the GS300 98-00 SRT intake fits and the maf sensor bolts up. use the picture of the gs300's ecu wiring diagram to find which pin out to use on the R-ECU to wire it to the SC's.

i toyed with the idea of using one but never installed the r-ecu. the intake fits though but it is a little short.

Other then that one you can use the injen or any no name gs300 98-00 intake off ebay but it won't be very good.

Just bought the setup from SRT, going to have it installed next week when it arrives. Was told the ECU needs to be installed for the car to run correctly.
