How many more Hp can Srt intake w/ecu give u? and How Long Can a Srt intake last?

It will last a long time if you take care of the filter.

 

[Swift Racing Technologies]

Approximately 12-14 RWHP increase.

The filter is a lifetime filter, other components should last as long as the car itself.

Do they really work as good as it sounds, with the piggyback? Hard to wire up? I'm really thinking seriously about this one, as I really don't want to do a whole bunch of mods, and this one sounds like maybe the most gains for the least trouble and work.

Yes. I had one for about 8000 miles...it was awesome, best intake for the IS300 by far! The piggy back unit works great and is not to hard to install if you know how to solder well.

And soldering is NOT a difficult skill to master- When I installed my intake a year and a half ago it was one of the first times I had ever soldered. Pick up a soldering gun at home depot ($19, will come in handy for years to come) and go do it, already!

Make sure you use the correct solder. There are types that stick to metal, types that stick to PCB or bread boards. I spent two hours trying to solder two wires together with the wrong type of solder for my ESK. When I realized that I was using the wrong type, I was already looking like Egor!

Thanks guys. I'll keep an eye out for a deal on a SRT inake. My buddy is an electrician. I can get him to do the connections. Now I just have to free up some money for an intake. IRS is after me right now.

How do u go about cleaning the air filter?

Since you said it's a lifetime filter, i suppose that we don't have to change it.

Do i just take it out, rinse it out with water, and relube it with oil?

 

[fuct]

does the metal that you solder with tell you what kind its used for?

AFE filter cleaning.

Radio Shack will have the right type of soldering material.

BTW,
Between my 2 ISs, I put close to 60K miles with the SRT intake. No problems, no CEL.

I've been soldering for 15 years (hobby) and had no idea there was a different type for PCB boards vs wires. :-? :roll:
You're probably talking about if the solder has special soldering compound blended into it instead of having it separate.

Heh, so I've been soldering longer than you. Who cares. Trying to show off your soldering dick? Grow up.

Well if it's just a hobby for you, then I wouldn't be surpised that you have no idea and you've probably just been using some general purpose rosin core solder made of tin-antimony-lead that one can get from their local radio-shack. I just mistakenly grabbed some old old crap from college.

Keep your childish e-penis comments to yourself or in the PL. :roll:

Thanx!

Do you know if local auto shop sells these kits?

 

[crontab]

You can also use the K&N cleaning Kit. I had the SRT cleaning kit, but I threw it away by mistake when cleaning out the garage. I didn't even open it. =/ Anyways, get the aerosol one. I think the oil amount would be easier to manage than the pump spray one.

I've had this K&N oil on the filter for about 2k I think and I'm running fine.

I presume this is what you're talking about:

Recharger Filter Care Service Kit (aerosol)
A six-step maintenance system designed to recharge any K&N Filtercharger® Air Filter. Restores air flow efficiency so your Filtercharger¨
performs like new!
Includes:
6.5 oz. Spray Oil, 12 oz. Filter Cleaner and Service Decal - #99-5000

I e-mailed SRT about a cleaning kit, if they don't respond, then i'll go ahead with the K&N.

You can go with the K&N, it'll just turn your filter red.
