Default Will this intake work for an SC300?

Hey everybody, after an old thread I made with the finale of keeping my stock airbox, I find this:

http://www.lextasy.com/is300_srt_intake_840_prd1.htm

Now, is this for real? If so, would it fit on my engine though it's an IS300 intake? Or does it work for all 2JZ-GE setups? I mean, would it fit in the engine-bay? I'm seriously liking it if it is all true, and would love to get my hands on it. But, I need to know if it's really worth it.

What say everyone else?

-Matt

$50 more and you are at 1/3 of the cost of a turbo kit..there was a thread about that intake before and the ridiculously stupid high price..end result, NOT WORTH IT...go na-t or do a 1J swap and enjoy the perks of being turbo for another $1k..seems like alot of money, but has a better cost/gain ratio.

Believe it or not not, I am currently adding a Turbonetics setup to my system and was wondering if this would be a good addition for it. Thanks for the heads up.

Okay that makes since, because I paid 0$ for my BFI and I am pretty sure it works the same if not better than that over priced BS

no point in buying the SRT intake, its only for the IS300 because it comes with a thing you wire up to the ECU to gain more hp
