Got My New Top Fuel Intake In and On The Car (Pics Up!)

EAmon

So as some may know i ordered a Top Fuel Power Chamber Intake system last week

Payment went through on monday
they shipped it yesterday
I got it in today
(PandaGarage has really fast shipping)

but it was a PITA to install

1st getting my Fujita SR out was a pain
then having to actually maneuver the new intake in w/ the filter on was alright

the biggest pain was getting the, or what its equivalent to, vibration mount in
well its not like the F5 vibration mount...
its a piece of metal w/ some weird thing on teh end that holds up the far side of the intake

and to get it to line up right i had to remove the bumper
which was the biggest pain
due to the fact i have never done it before
but thanks to the guide(s) here on ScionLife it was a but easier
Thanks ScionLife!

lol
but in the end i say it was worth it

now i need to find someway to make a nice hole in my fog cover so i can make it a real Ram Air

Here Are The Pics

The Top Fuel VS the Fujita

Top Fuel Filter VS Fujita Filter

as u can see the Top Fuel intake is bigger than the Fujita one
but the filter in teh Fujita is way bigger than teh Top Fuel one
so i might just end up buying a fujita filter and put it on teh top fuel one

That's what I'm wondering. I was hoping you'd try to take some pictures of inside the tube while using a flash light.

Is the end cap on the filter real cf or fake? Looks good either way.

the barrel is real, from the looks of it the filter top isnt, but Top Fuel is a highish end company (iirc)

I didn't know you could put an intake on cat food! My cat's food still has the stock intake, but maybe I will get a K&N for it.

So, compared to the Fujita, what's the difference in how it drives? With the different sizes and larger piping, it seems like it should be quieter and maybe have better throttle response? They call that thing a "Power Chamber" and say it compresses air somehow, but it looks like a resonator to me.

i haven't felt anything yet
i like it better cuz the filter is right by the fog light opening so it sucks in cold air and its sorta like a true ram air

on one note you'll be cleaning your MAF more often due to where its located at...
