i dont think there is a need to, they can easily pull over 300 whp / 250 tq without extensive effort. plus i believe the design is slightly different. the intake design for the CL is in essence, a CAI, and has been tested against all other brands, and dynos prove, the CT one puts down more power.

The AEM intake goes from 3 1/4 inch pipe to the tube with ridges in it, thats about 2 1/4 inch to the throttle body thats about 3 inch. I want to get that bend wider, probably another 2 - 4 whp gain. Ill try tommorrow. Dtpjigzer, if you have any problems call me, ill steer you through it. Ill pm the number.

okay im done with my mod!!! thanks paul for your help! but instead of buying (2) 90* tubes, get (1) 90* and (1) 60*. it connects and fits PERFECTLY!!! But now, i didn't use the AEM, i didn't want to cut it, it was too BRAND NEW!! lol so i bought a universal intake that autozone had and used that. it works and fits well. after the install i took the car out for a ride and man, you guys weren't kiddin when u say the charger WHINES much louder!!! its freakin awesome! So now i have a AEM CAI for sale for the 04+ tl. any one interested?? $225 shipped. its BRAND NEW IN THE BOX! i only opened it to check the contents.

That looks like the smoothest flowing design so far!

Nice.

after familiarizing myself with comptech's icebox design and working with the lexus motors, i am now starting to be AGAINST open element style filters, such as this thread is about.

i still have yet to see before/after dyno. before / after 1/4 time.

reasoning: the air filter intake area, needs a sort of pressurization. you want to maintain a good mount of sealed space yet have an unobstructed flow as well. having your filter completely open creates no kind of 'space' to hold the air. the air is just rushing by it. not to mention overexposure to water/dirt/bugs.

Great job on this mod!!

Do you guys think it would be louder if the intake end was closer to the throttle with the Supercharger? I know its more heat, but the flooding in Houston scares me.
