Default Intake pipes

We have the same engine as the GS400, how come they have quite a selection of intake pipes but we dont? Will the intake pipes from the GS400s fit the SC400?

I have been looking for intake pipes for a while now, no luck except the BFI which is great, but I would like to have a pipe all the way the same diameter or larger than stock. I intend to cut the pipe before the MAF and keep my BFI (thus getting rid of the resonator in the process)

Have you considered just making your own? I've made numerous intakes myself for turbo setups. I use vibrant piping, couplers, and t-bolt clamps.

take the time to read this over. Doing straight piping and getting ride of the resonator maybe isnt the best thing for you to do. Depends on what you want out of your car. Performance or Sound/Aesthetics.
