Anyone running an Injen CAI?

As the title says.. The Injen website claims 8 ft-lbs of torque and 7 horsepower gains just by installing their ($250 ) intake. Anyone with experience/insight on this one? Thats approx. 10% gains (again, according to Injen) which I'm sure would be noticeable in our econobox...

They don't have Yaris listed under 2008, they just have the FJ. The 2007 option does have the Yaris.

Pictures of Injen Intake in 2008 Yaris LB

I'm a newbie, but I'm running the Injen Intake in a 2008 Yaris Liftback. Installation was pretty easy. Here are a couple pictures (if I do the insert image right ...). Makes a nice growl when you rev it up. Feels more peppy in the high rev area, but I don't have a dyno so who knows. Looks good too. :)

INJEN does make a very pretty intake, and fairly reasonably priced too for the beautiful product they put out.

Right now I am only selling it for $220, https://www.fluidmotorsports.com/p-146-air-intake.aspx

The fact alone the ability to clean the filter elment is worth while so you dont have to buy replacement filters. It sounds nice and looks great!

We can have it shipped directly from them.

We havent stocked any of their product yet just because we just started gauging interest on the forums.

Let me know

I'd like confirmation on those gains. If it's true, wouldn't this be the best intake?

I do not think it gives that much hp.I have it and at best I would say 3-4 actual hp.Car does respond quicker and pull a little harder,but not 10% gains.Install sucked as the bumper has to come off to tighten the filter mount,I tried the fender gap trick and it was a to small to get my fat arms in.

Intake does growl very nice.I put it on before the Greddy exhaust and the two together work well.

I've looking at the design of this intake for a while.It's not like other intakes this one seems to cuase a ram effect which is good from wide to narrow.

the air down in the fenders is going to be a lot colder then the air next to the engine. the fenders are blocking direct airflow, but overall the air is cooler.
