i started a thread about this a few days ago....i don't think anybody bought it....i don't think its worth it to get that intake because the founder of INJEN is the same guy who came out with FUJITA....after he left injen....he made Fujita....i would go with AEM ull save a good 60-70 bucks

i don't think the FUJITA intake is going to be crap....i think it will do rather fine if the founder of injen created it...it has the same potential as injen if not...much better...the only problem is its way over priced...thats why many people choose AEM over INJEN or K&N

I went to the link, what "tornado" product are you talking about? I didn't see any reference to it.

It does look like an expensive option esp from an up and coming company. Pricing like that is dangerous...

My little bro bought that fujita for his 06 rsx type s and he says they have that tornado device in the filter part.........I told him to go dyno the car with different filters and see which one gains the most........but anyways you guys buy whatever you want to buy I will buy stuff that is proven...........my intake is $800.00 from gruppe m but that is the only one that shows real gain and its a badass looking one too..........but thats not for a tl..........

if you guys want some serious experts to talk to about your car.....then call Jon Martin Service Manager of South Bay Acura in Torrance,Ca at 310-539-3636.........this guy is the master of all Hondas/Acuras he has been with Honda since the 80s and pre tested the 89-90 acura nsx...he has friends that are engineers in f-1, champ cart, ...and many other cars....also he is well know among Ceo of big distibutors to the US such as AEM (john C.) gruppe m (ceo.mr.gosei), K&N Japan Distributor (mr. Gosei), HKS (thats our other buddy jon.k Director) and so many more. hes also a certified nsx techician and has friends from people who make and design the products you see on your car. So this is the guy to consult or take your car to.

Wrong.

I slapped a FIPK on my old Grand Cherokee 5.9. In the same conditions it went from running 15.2 to 14.8, consistantly. (Cant screw up awd launches)

Guys on the jeep site were getting dyno numbers near the 32 claimed by K&N.

So i'd say the .3-.4 tenths I picked up suggests a bit more than only a "few" horses.

i agree with you on that...

but what most people don't understand is that companies will take the biggest gains on one of their cars that they dyno and use it for advertising and say "Gains up to 40hp" or things like that...our car is a very well made car (emissions wise)...and the intake isn't that bad either...so we see small gains because we already have a great intake in the car

I was flipping through one of the tuner magazines...i forget which one and came across a 2 page advertisement on the Fujita intake products. I was impressed with the ad and will be doing some research on this newfound product.

Here's a picture of the fujita system installed.

Part # MA-1006


One of the benifits of this intake compared to the injen and aem versions is the design of the air filter. The top of the fujita air filter is not flat like the aem and injen filters. Instead, It features an inverted cone shaped design which will funnel the air through the tube. This will result in a better mixture between the air and fuel.

I just slapped this puppy on last weekend, got it on eBay for $225 shipped. It is very similar to the Injen and I mounted it without pulling off the bumper.

Unfortunately I cannot compare it to the Injen or AEM, but I am happy with it. Like everyone said before, you cannot hear it until you punch it @ WOT and w/ a nice load on the engine ... then you can hear her singing away.

Overall I am very satisfied with this CAI as far as quality, performance and installation are concerned.

My only concern with all CAI is the filter material as far as filtering fine particles. When I hold this filter up to the light, I can tell that it is not as fine as the dry OEM fit filters are. So my concern is how this will affect the engine in the long-term?!?

Either she is tiny or that things is HUGE! I was looking at this intake too and am still leaning towards it. And honestly the main reason I am leaning towards it is just because it doesn't seem like a lot of people on the forum have it.:P I could use the bag that comes with it too.lol

Sweet. I was wondering if someone was gonna go with the fujita CAI.

Don't worry about the filter element. The oil should catch most of the fine particles.

i wouldn't say that. all lab tests show that oiled air filters, especially at their initial stage, will pass fine dirt and stuff that Oem filters won't.

Change engine oil more often maybe to counter that?

the AEM dryflow synthetic has much better initial filtering capability cuz it's sort of paper/cloth like. it flows better than oil ones too. that's why i picked AEM. plus you can't beat their dyno results. check out the sticky on top. there are a few posted.

Apropos filters, my buddy is replacing his Injen CAI filter - just the filter part, not the pipe - with an AEM filter, because he says it is finer and would filter more.

But my purpose is to let you guys and gals know that Fujita has a promo where you get a free filter, not entire intake, if you purchase a CAI between now and 02-28-06. Check it out yo! http://www.f5air.com/

I am really starting to like the sound of this puppy when I get on it, now I can finally shift by feel better. Sometimes when I have the music turned up and zone out, the tach creeps up because the TL is so quiet.

I already have the FUJITA lower than eBay prices though. You can only sell the FUJITA so low. But the FUJITA has good dyno #'s.

Negatory, only some intakes have the "Tornado" - the intakes where it will maximize performance. The CAI for the 04 TL does not have it, it is an open end ... but they do have the cone shape filter deal, that is supposed to spiral the air and prevent stagnant air spots inside the filter.

No these intakes are arriving this week. I have to put the thread up for it.

And yes some of the intakes do have the "Tornado". Here is a link to the features and the applications that have it: http://www.f5air.com/features.html

Fujita is excellent quality. The have instituted MAP guidelines like Injen to protect the value of the product. Thats why basically everyone has the same pricing. That guy must be trying to get over though. I sell mine at $201 plus shipping.

Dude, there is no "tornado" application for the 3G TL, which this is a forum for, or are you selling the RSX short RAM, if so then you are in the wrong forum.

Did you read the post I wrote? I wrote, "And yes some of the intakes do have the "Tornado". Here is a link to the features and the applications that have it: http://www.f5air.com/features.html " Where did I say the 3rd gen TL has the tornado in it? I didn't. I said some of the intakes have the "Tornado" and here is the link to the ones that do. So I am in the right forum and the statement was correct.
