The first pic (blue HB) is mine and I love it. The Yarisworld vendor that sells that model is Yaris Universe. Send him a PM and he will get with you.

The red one is mine. ( I know it was dirty in the pics it was late after work clean now though) I still love this intake. Throw in the couple extra dollars and get it.

I dont know. I find alot of people telling me to get the K&N panel , because i wont change a thing , and its better quality and that the coldest air ill get would be from my airbox since im in a hot country , and that the airbox is restrictive only when horse power exceed 200 HP and they also say the that the rubber material used in the simota piping degrades with time and melts down ? I know both filters wont make a big differnece in poer but i still cant make up my mind |

yep, I've had a simota setup in my car for 2 years+ now, in a hot country too, and surem the rubber is not really clean and shiny anymore, but it does not seem degraded in any way

I like the K&N replacement, it looks nice and stock and if you want to make some noise you ca always make some holes in the bottom half of your intake box. if reliability is your concern the K&N filter will let you keep all your toyota oem intake parts which will handle the heat just fine.

Mine has not degraded and is still clean and shiny. Sometimes you got to pull a little maintenance on the motor other that lift the hood and say "it's still there". All rubber degrades over time and the heat generated in the engine compartment speeds up the process. A clean and treat slows that way down.
