Gen6 Getting an intake! [K&N vs Fujita]

I have a V6 full stock in terms of under the hood, and I was looking around at all of the intake manufacturers and I looked at 2 companies.

Fujita
http://www.fujitaonline.com/Fujita_C..._p/ca-3317.htm
K&N http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...Prod=69-8611TS

Apparently K&N is very reliable, but the pricings up in the air. However, assuming its around the same price as Fujita, I can afford both. Cold-Air Intakes are sweet here in California where rain and moisture isn't a problem.

Im leaning towards Fujita just because they look a bit more sporty but in the end, is there a difference? Has anyone had experience with any of these brands before? What should I expect?

the K&N is a SRI (short ram air) and will be easier to install. The Fujita is a CAI (cold air intake) and needs to be routed behind the front bumper. And when ever you need to clean the filter, the bumper will have to come off. I personally would go with the K&N because its easier to install and maintain

I've got the K&N short ram, definitely easier to install and clean and such, comes with a nice heatshield that fits in very nicely. Once you remove the lower resonator, it'll give a good amount of air into the intake. But then again, both brands are pretty well-known in terms of intake. Most intakes for our cars are more sound beneifical then actual power, it may be a small amount of power, as listed by K&N's dyno listings.

i think its not recommended to have a Cold Air Intake since the water will cause it to Hydroblock or something like that. That's what I heard.

You can save $250 and stick with the one already on your car. Works just as well as any under-the-hood ornament i.e. a K&N or Fujita (although you get a free NOS energy drink with a purchase of a Fujita...score!).

My stock intake system with a $30 TRD filter is just as good as any useless aftermarket intake "system".

x2.

I had K&N Short ram for my i4 Camry for about a year. I recently sold it because it was actually too loud for my tastes. Performance gains are minimal at best. If you think paying 250 bucks is justifiable for a nice throaty rumbling sound then by all means purchase it.

You should buy one and find out for yourself if it does indeed void your warranty. No use in asking because you'll get 5 different answers, none of them correct.

just to throw in my 2 cents...
i just use a drop-in k&n filter and i like it. it's easy to clean, and the power gains (as some have already mentioned) are just about the same as the other options - minimal at best. I just like having a washable and reusable filter instead of throwing away filters every so often.

...but either intake looks pretty nice in the engine bay, that would be my reason to do it.

I have used the K&N FIPK's in a GM pick up and SUV. Have had it installed for over 7 years with no problems as far as fit and finish or durability. Have not had the vehicle on a dyno to verify any hp gains. I have used their drop in filters with no issues as well.
K&N claims 11hp for the camry v-6 application.
