Quicker throttle response and more aggressive sound.
now all I need is a custom y-pipe to go to the throttlebody.
That is a really nice-looking unit there. Question: do you worry about the air temperature being too hot, since you're sucking air in right over the engine and under the hood? Would a heat shield prove beneficial in lowering your air intake temps at all?
Is that how those year Es300's intakes look like? What's with the Y-pipe. That intake is so restrictive, especially with that big plastic box. I don't see any imaginable air-flow gain. Maybe just sound because of the filter. Just my opinion.
Can i make my own short ram intake even though i have a second gen? Theres that bulky MAF and i don't think i could make one fit but I'm willing to try.

Pheonix shows you how to make your own here. And he did it on a gen 2, I believe.
i have a semi-custom cai. The pipe that holds the maf sensor is made by RMM and everything else is custom.
i love the sound it makes but thats all this intake really does. Although my butt dyno told me i created AT LEAST 50 HP, but then again thats what it would say if i put stickers all over my car.

When I took out the stock air box I left the portion that brought in the fresh air (it runs under the battery towards the bumper). Although I'm sure it still sucks up a lot of hot air. I would invest in a heat shield if I knew anyone in solcal (SD) that could make one.
