Default Holy Intake!!!!

Finally got my SRT i cant understand y would u get any other?
Guys dont be intimidated by the install fairly simple. I completely
reccommend getting a wire splitter which seperates the insulation
from the wire in one motion which accidently prevents cutting the wire.
Its 450.00 @http://www.titanmotorsports.com/.Srt
does have it but for 599.00 go figure?

SRT's are beautiful and a wonderful intake to have if you are willing to throw the change at one. I however am not willing to put that kind of money on a 1.5ft metal tube...... Primarily because nothing is going to make that little engine boogie without something attached to a boost gauge. Otherwise the gains just don't justify the purchase for me. No boost = no boost. End of the story.

It's purty as hell though!!!!

I admire your spirit in dropping that coin. It looks excellent.

Oh I love them, and I'd do $350 used, but god that would still be the limit for me. Even then, I'd only do it because I WANTED it. (and I do)

Strobes and neons are the anti-christ

I have one as well. Was amazed by the little roar in the engine. Kinda like a baby lion...LOL

I got the black couplers/diffuser with all the hardware. I didnt like how thin they were, so I bought me thicker red couplers/diffusers. So it looks like SRT's display intake for the IS. But still have the black cone. Been thinking about changing that as well. But its functional, so maybe not.

Yep, your supposed to get 1- 3.5" coupler/ 1- 3.5-2.75" diffuser/ 1- 4.5" coupler/ all the hardware and hoses. Did you get the 1/8" hose for the filter cone?

Man,

Those pics are sharp. Any intakes I used, TRD, BOMZ, etc on my 1gen made the Mass Airflow Sensor act up. I then resorted back to a drop in K&N. I had two other buddies burn out their MAS and re-installed the factory intake/resonator and have replaced under warranty.

Good choice with the SRT, I've loved mine!

Quick question though, I noticed your shield is black.. Did it come like that or did you paint it? Mine is silver and kinda tacky IMO, need to do some DIY magic once this weather warms up
