Should receive my intake beginning of next week so I'll know for sure when I receive it but if this document is right the new intake replaces the lower portion of the box too:
The F-Sport Performance Air Intake, part number PTR03-53141; includes a modified upper
and lower airbox with Toyota hydrocarbon trap that is permanently heat staked to the upper
airbox lid, and air intake tubing from the new air filter housing lid to the stock throttlebody.
No other modifications are required for installation. Stock mass air flow sensor is retained
and installed in its stock location.

Good to hear, let us know when it is available please.

It looks awesomely sporty! Did you install DIY? Is it really necessary to disable the battery?

 

I MUST say that look quite beautiful. haha

I have the Takeda and the sound is just amazing but this just looks even better. Really wish i could hear it. I might be selling my Takeda for this.... What are all those stickers on the box and pipe? Is it needed? Thanks in advance.

 

I had one of my technician install it with me helping but it looked pretty straight forward and not complicated I just didn't want to mess anything up lol. In terms of removing the negative battery I did it as a precaution but I don't think you really have to. It came with two stickers so I just slapped them on but I'm going to remove them so it looks better haha

 

Curious on how it sounds

 

Does it sound louder even without the stock sound generator?

 

Thanks for the reply. Another point. Pls confirm if the new stock similar to what you have does not have the "F Sport" embossed on the Intake tube itself. The earlier version has this F sport logo on it.

 

I just installed mine, it does not have the F Sport embossed on the tube. I was actually quite disappointed...

As far as the sound is concerned, it sounds nice, louder and deeper, even without the sound generator/redirect.

Also, it does NOT come with a CARB legal sticker, you have to order it separately.
I opted to not put on the sticker that Abied has on his intake, I suspect the heat might actually melt the sticker glue through time.

 

Here's a pic without the stickers or engine cover

 

Nice! Looks Awesome. DO we really need a CARB legal sticker? Im in CA too... here is a link posted earlier.

Wouldnt this suffice????

 

To be honest, I have NO idea, I don't want to order the sticker if not needed believe me.

 

Looks great!! Notice any difference in sound compared to stock?

 

I just installed mine. As far as the sound it is about the same as the stock intake. I did not notice any difference sound wise. There is maybe a little bit additional power at higher RPM range or maybe it is a placebo effect

In any case I think with F-Sport trim everything needs to be F-Sport lol

 

Cool salvadorik! There is a sound difference, I have it on video, you can hear it more with your window down.
