Stay away from Fujita intakes!!!! Injen makes quality intakes CAI or SRI. With the exhaust issue, simply get a axle back for under $300.

i have a injen cai with a hks hi power exhaust and im loving it.
alot of people recommend to get a sprintbooster, but in my opinion its not worth paying retail price for.
you should give it a try though,

My bad, I meant RRM SRI.........not Injen. With the 2009 with the 2.4 most people are finding better gains in performance with the Injen CAI

yea, i personally would prefer an sri just because of the SLIMMEST possibility that i could hydrolock with a cai just doesnt seem worth it in the end for an extra ~2hp.

You are right. Where you live with the weather, I would stay safe, and somewhat conservative with the SRI. K&N makes a nice set up. I prefer it over RRM. All comes to how much $$$ you have to spend and what kind of quality you want. Best of luck!

why pay $300 for 5-6hp when the fujita V3 is $186 and gives you the same hp?

Waist of money to me. Did not notice any difference at all. It is definitely lighter, but as far as performance, I could tell nothing. Save your money!

No 1/4 mile times, but ran 0 to 60 times with my buddy in the passenger seat and a stop watch; cheessy I know, but point is.......... no difference in 0 to 60 times with the new pulley. It is suppose to make the car accelerate faster. but I could not tell. Once the 4b-11 goes into MIVEC mode, it all feels about the same!
