Bump for an answer to the above question. Unfortunately, there is no answer in the search results.

See other thread, talks about 2005+ fit.

I think i'm going to do what vvitbob did and get the spare he has, i know cost is high, but i think he looked at it the way I do. Looks nice and fit right. If you want something to look good it cost. I think it was smart thinking.

Am confused, are you taking about the intake system? Maybe I need to re-read the thread.

Yes

The OP also asked about spare tires. I think that's what he's referring to.

just agreeing with vvti bob in #2

I knew it. Spare tire. I have the Tire Repair Mobility Kit. Fits in the trunk hole.

I am looking at the air intakes. Why did you go with the Injen? If there isn't a heat shield does the hot air in the engine compartment reduce performance compared to the stock intake? I have a drop-in K&N filter now.

The fit, sound and look...

Do a search there is a TON of great info including install pics, etc.

I have tried mine with and without the heat shield and I live in HELL for heat...Dallas. (at least this summer)

No difference in performance or mileage with the heat shield just a more muffled sound, which I don't like and I will be promptly removing this weekend.

You'll love this mod...do it! Do a search too

Just did the cold air intake mod for my 05 SC. AMAZING!! Unlike most others, I bought my CAI in pieces and put together a kit myself. I got OBX Racing tubing (specially made for the SC430/LS430/GS430 models), K&N Filter, and the tubing all special ordered. The sound is noticeably louder when you accelerate even at low speeds. But man is it worth it!

If I had to describe it, I'd say it sounds more like a muscle car or Porsche-esque. Either way, I love it! Going the 'buy in pieces' route saved me some money too. For the entire kit, I only spent about $100 including tubing, clamps & filter! Ah, love my SC!

Can you write up a DIY of everything you did?

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but I will try to write the steps out later. If it helps, there are plenty of threads on here with DIY tutorials on how to change out the intake. That's how I learned...
