Did YOU read the post you replied to? It read:

"I heard this Fujita Intake has that Turbonator thing installed, IS this true???"

Keyword "this" as the one you are trying to sell in the TL forum, I am sure that Phesto was not inquiring about the RSX intake - enough said!

 

I understand your reply to Phesto but then you posted about my reply. Notice I wrote "some", keyword being some, and then here are the applications that have it; not "this intake has the tornado". Maybe you should learn how to read in context. I'm not going to argue about this with you. If you have something further to say take it to PM. Enough said!

 

Found this comparison, not only for this intake but a few others. Don't know if this helps anyone or not.

I think I also read (maybe here) that Fujita required less time in the the install phase.

I ordered mine off E-bay. I just received it but my car is still at the dealership. I can't wait to install it. Quality looks exceptional. The bag, hat and t-shirt rocks.

 

Yep... Loving mine too.
Everyone here sings the praises of the AEM. I helped install one on a friends car, and the quality of the Fujita is certainly better. I'd say this intake is the best kept secret of the 3G TL forums.

 

it still shows the injen increasing the overall HP of the car more than the fujita, not by much tho. i may have to look into this....

 

I just looked at fujita's and injen's websites. I was quite pleased and surprised by the results of the posted dynos on their websites:

The fujita seems like the winner!

 

Is the Fujita as loud as the other CAI's? Does it also make the same sounds (not just at WOT but also at idle)?

 

I can't tell a difference at idle. I experience some very mild low frequency resonance (kind of a low rumble) from about 2-4K rpm, then I hear some higher frequency vacuum whistle resonance at about 4K-5K (much more audible).

Neither is bad, and this is common with all CAI setups. You're removing the components that minimize this noise to install a CAI.

 

The main selling point with the Fujita version is the filter design.

It features an inverted cone which helps channel the air through the intake pipe. Helps with the airflow.

 

I ordered one yesterday from Excelerate, $220 shipped. Hopefully being so local i should have it tomm.
Can't wait, I have heard nothing good about Fujita products.

 

Wise choice!

Not only is Josh a vendor here, but he is also honest and a great guy!

 

...very good intake, i just got mine installed a few days ago...great quality and performance, made the drive much better now and the sound is perfect....VROOM VROOM lol

 

Here are a few pics of it, its huge, damn i need to clean the inside of my hood, looks dusty lol

 

I'm currently using a Fujita 3.5" air filter on my custom supercharger intake. The filter element appears to be quality.

 

So if i can get the fujita cheaper then the AEM, i should definitely go for it rite?

 

hm, no response?

 

Is the Fujita bigger than the AEM in terms of the size of the tube?

 

Anyone have close up pics of there fujita before the install ?

 

I have a fujita intake but for 03 i4 accord.

The giant TB clamps, be careful not to over tighten, it will crush/slightly distort the intake tube itself, I accidentally turned my intake opening into an oval. I had to use a C clamp to reshape it back to a circle.



My opinion is actually the fujita filter is kind of crappy, it does not have a built in velocity stack/horn like AEM/K&N filters. Also it has no lip/stop to prevent you from mounting the intake tube too far into the filter, thus disrupting flow.




Yes it's true, cotton/oiled filters always pass measurably and significantly more dirt. The AEM filter does indeed filter better and has no visible pinholes when you hold the media against a light. The flipside is they flow worse than oiled cotton, significantly worse in fact, even by AEM's own data.

 

I JUST BOUGHT A FUJITA F5. FOR THOSE ARE USING THE FUJITA, HOW IS WORKING OUT. I WAS WONDERING A BUT WATER BEING SUCK IN.

 

I've had the F-5 CAI on my 05' TL all summer. I felt a slight torque increase at low RPM. At highway speeds it doesn't gear hunt when useing cruise control. At W.O.T. it would hit the REV limiter in full automatic for about the first 300 miles but only for a split second.I don't notice it doing this anymore. Semi- auto I hit the limiter ever time. Throttle response is dead on. For the $$$ you can't beat the performance. It sounds good too. Scares little kids and the elderly when you get on it. Hell, you could use it for a horn. Normal driving you get a turbo like whistle. I think it is annoying, my friends think its cool.

 

...its working very good, love the sound, i dont think u should be worrying about water being sucked in unless you're driving directly through a big puddle of water

 

Can the AEM dryflow filter be used on it and fit?

 

If you're afraid of water being sucked in, maybe you should get the Injen hydrosleeve thing you put over the filter. Does it acutally work?

 

^^ I think they say in the Ad only for splashing if you submerge you're still screwed.

 

Stupid quetion for you guys... Does the CAI void the warranty to the engine? What is the worse scenario a CAI can do to the engine?

 

The dealer has to prove the part you installed caused the problem. Look up the Magunsson Moss Act. A CAI can suck up water if you submerge the front bumper and therefore the filter in water but you would have to go through a flooded area of 2-3 ft to have that happen.
