Injen MR Short Ram Air Intake

[Matt_RN]

Just wanted to give Paul a shoutout and great big THANKS for his hard work in research and development and for the Injen intake for my CT.

My CT doesn't sound like it's struggling when I accelerate hard, rather, there's a nice deep throaty hum when I accelerate past 3-4k RPM.

If I'm not mistaken, +10 HP and + 17 ft/lbs of torque gains! w00t. I've noticed a 2-3 MPG increase as well (which brings me back to factory MPG since I have larger wheels and non-rolling resistance tires).

And of course, this intake was dyno-tested and confirmed to not interfere with engine control systems. No check engine lights. CARB certification is in process and will probably take a year (not really a concern if you're not living in CA, in case you get pulled over and the cops hassle you).

I LOVE THIS INTAKE! Go INJEN!


**No cold air intake since there wasn't much room in the lower part of the engine compartment to fit the CAI, unfortunately.**

Interesting idea on a hybrid. I take it those HP gains are at the fly and even lower at the front wheels.

Very nice. Would love to Hear a recording of the engine above 4k, one of the few dislikes with the car as I agree it sounds like it is struggling.

And which kit did you end up using?

Was it dyno tested before and after the intake? 10 HP and 17 lb/ft seems like very high gains on this little motor.
Do we have any prius owners who can chime in?

Awesome Matt ... Now that is a product that should sell well! .... horsepower inrease, torque increase, mpg increase

yea 10/17 horses gained seems a bit to much, those seem like packaging numbers and not proven dyno numbers. but i would like to know how it pulls and the sound, so wondering if you could post some youtube of your 0-60 time and also the sound of your car as it hits 4k rpm.

but i think you can produce the same results for 37 dollar with a K&N filter and remove the SULEV FILTER to create more air flow.

i currently removed the SULEV FILTER, waiting till i get finished with my 10k maintenance then i will swap out the oem filter for a K&N.

If this checks out - when & where can I buy

[Tomanik]

Did some searching and I'm assuming this was the prius injen kit for this?
