hey guys i need a lil help...I'm doing research on short ram intakes for 06 Scion tCs.

has anyone bought intakes like this..or from these ppl??

I'm not trying to get the biggest boost in hp or sound, cuz i know that is expensive... but of course generic intake from autozone ($52) won't work because there isn't a MAF sensor hole. That leads to another question... what if I didn't use the sensor at all. If anyone knows about this, please help me. Thanks

I think your car would start and then immediately shut off.

I think that is what Toyota said one time when asked "What if the MAF sensor was not working."

That is exactly what will happen.

yepp I concur with those above.

I have experiance in the matter as well lol. Lets just say attempting to install your CAI at 3 am was not the smartest decision on my part.

You need a MAF sensor... Without it your car will go into limp mode.

You can get a Do-it-yourself intake, though. Go to Pep Boys or Autozone or wherever and get the Spectre PowerAdder piping. Get the Universal MAF kit and drill a hole for your MAF sensor. It works.

Save yourself some drama and possible CEL, and use a name brand product.
