Quote: I got the injen intake w/ upper and lower IC pipes and intake and it really makes a difference. but its up 2 u. it also looks good. lol but a ported manifold is good. only reason i didnt get that is b/c im saving up for an AMS one.
So you are happy with the intake? Any issues or complaints? Comments.

I went with the injen kit. looks really good, fitment good, lost about 2 psi but the car still felt just as fast before if not faster, so i added 2 more pounds and that where i felt the power.

^ Thats the first I've heard about losing boost. It will offset the 1.5 lbs I gained from adding the exhaust!

I have the injen. I have no complaints at all. I think it looks good and serves a purpose too. They have a point tho, there are better uicp out there but if you want the whole package that saves money, dyno proven(so they say), and fit stock parts like recirc. bov, battery, lines, etc. then go with it. It also makes your car sound alot meaner. I mean come on with a good tune it can only help.

I think I will get the coated o2 housing and Injen intake kit. I should see some nice gains after I get tuned.

injen LICP = same as stock...

not worth $400 if you ask me... both my buds have clearance issues. Intake hitting hood, and UICP hitting hood.

/\ I don't have those problems, I guess it depends on the install cause I don't have any clearance issues. I'm using the buschur licp, so I can't speak for the injen licp.

Really??? It doesn't look like that in the pictures. Can anyone confirm this? That would change my mind quickly.

The Injen LICP is bigger than the stock. By how much I'm not sure but when I compared them side by side the injen was bigger. The only problem I had with mine was that I had to wrestle to get it secured to the IC but it wasn't too bad. I'd recommend it, especially in black.

careful with the ebay o2. i bought one about a month ago it was to small sucked my down pipe into my oil pan( it was sitting right against it, never installed junk) i have one if want one.
also i ported my exhaust manfold/o2 by myself it is easy, it just take some time depending how far you want to go(10hrs).

i thought the main problem was all the twist and turns the stock one takes and the different size changes

i don't claim to know everything but the injen takes a straight line from the turbo and then makes a turn to the intercooler, BR does the same thing but isn't at the same angle off the turbo

i'm looking to get that injen kit too, i just order a tubula and o2 and going to replace my ebay intake with the injen, if i get it.
