hello! , i am tryin to find some inexpensive intake for my car (short ram) . Found tons of intakes on ebay/amazon etc... just dont know wich one to buy , i dont wana have problems like check engine....so what would you guys recommend? 100-150$ gs300

 

GS300 or 400?

 

oh sorry i didn't put any info about car , its 300

 

98-00 or 01+? These details are a must. Was the search button helpful?

 

its 2001 , i tried search button but it didn't helped me

 

I hate to tell you dude, but a naturally aspirated 2JZ just doesn't move enough air to benefit from an intake. Grab a K&N from Autozone or wherever. That cheap-o short ram is just gonna heat soak and cause a LOSS in performance. Leave it be and put that money towards your turbo fund. Sorry man, just not worth the money getting an intake, especially if you have no tuning provisions.

 

Hello sir, there is a member here that did a DIY, with a K & N filter in the stock box and used a sceptre brand aftermarket tubing and with a little cutting and painting it black to look stock made a nice looking intake pretty inexpensively. I am actually have been contemplating trying it for a bit now.

 

Here is the link sir,

I did the DIY mentioned above after installing a short ram and it not running right due to the MAS not being positioned correctly.

With the DIY, I did improve my fuel economy by .75mpg average. I already had a K&N filter installed. Heat soak is a big issue though. The tubing gets too hot to touch due to sitting over the exhaust mani.

My last average for my 300 was 18mpg/city and 23ish/hwy

 

Hello sir, How about possibly putting a heat shield or wrap around the short ram and painting it a stock shade of black?

 

yes is this possible^? mine soaks up so much heat and rises my temperature needle and my CEL is always on ....
