u got it! haha no i did not bend it myself, i got the piping from autozone, and used a vac sensor adapter for the hoses and i spent about 30 bucks (not including the cone, i had one laying around the garage from a previous customer who never came to get it)

it did make a lil diff, not a huge difference, it idles smoother, sounds louder but a clean loud, nothing nasty sounding
the main difference that i like tho is when i floor it or accel faster i can feel the push alot stronger and the pick up is better. havnt noticed anything on gas mileage

im trying to find the right angle pipes to be able to run from under the headlight and have the cone/filter more towards the bottom for cleaner colder air

I like it! Custom intakes are cool.

Should of just did a BFI
Interesting let us know how that goes

BFIs dont look as cool, but they keep out the heat from the engine. Cost about $18.00, depending on how far you go with it.

Here is how I did mine although the "experts" here did not believe me that it picked up a few hp and some responsiveness it did and woke it up a bit but nothing to write home about.

thanks everyone
i was running a BFI at first, probably one of the first mods i ever did to my sc, but i wanted a little more a look to it and since my bfi was just straight open in the front i was collecting alot of stuff in it, so instead of getting an aftermarket filter for the stock box i just made this instead
and xspsi6 from your setup it does seem ud get more power cuz u have more air flow and the intake is closer, only thing about that is youll be sucking up alot of hot air comming off the engine, look around for a heat shield or get some piping and move it closer to the front of the car for some colder air

What did you do to yours exactly? Just drop in a filter? Cause I have a spare filter.. not sure if it would fit. Might think about dropping that one in just to make it louder lol.

@bigbang if ur 92+ ull need a maf adapter i think it was 95+ that got the round maf, if you have the round maf jus put the filter on and ur set.
wont get much of a deeper sound though because lexus designed the intake tube to have a built in silencer ( located on the bottom of the tube box looking thing)

actually come to think of it, if your runing the round maf getting an aluminum pipe and going to the maf and another tube then filter would be slightly easier than 92, there is enough gap between the headlight for about a 3" tube to go under
will get much better sound with an aluminum tube
