I am thinking of ordering the 935 Hardpipe intake kit for my 87 N/a supra and was wondering if anyone else on here has had experience with the kit and if it is worth it to buy. Also, if anyone here has pics of it please post! Thanks

IMO it would be better for the engine since it is a straight tube inside and less "crazy straw" effect that can restrict airflow, just as long as you have an open element or cone filter to go with it, i feel throttle response was increased on my old supra

There's no way in HELL I'm going over all this garbage again. Search "Intake" in the advanced search and specify the 7M-GE forum. Then search "helmholtz resonator".

If you want a conical filter, fine. The N/A doesn't pull anywhere near enough air for the stocker to be a bottle neck... unless it's a paper cheapie. BUT, if you put it in the engine bay, you're an idiot... (HINT: heat)

If by "crazy straw" the OP means the accordion section, I have no objection. I'd just leave the resonator in place.

Of course a slow N/A is a slow N/A, so if bling's more important... well, whatever. Just keep the filter out of the engine bay or build an enclosure for it.

Hey, this post reminded me I needed to change the information about modifying the intake in the N/A Upgrade FAQ, so I finally fixed it :)
