im looking to get an injen intake. the thing is they have one for 1997-99' and one for 00'-01'. price difference is like $50, but the one for 00-01 comes with a heat shield. my question is the engine are the same so why are there two diff intakes? can i just get the one for 97-99?

heres the one for 97-99

heres the 00-01

is the heat shield even useful?

I don't think that heatshield is included... I can't tell you that for sure because I have a V6 (1MZ_FE), that intake is for the I-4 engine (5S-FE)...

for the 00-01, the heat shield is included. i just dont know if i can just get the 97-99 intake

If your Camry is a 97-99, get the 97-99.. You can always custom build a heatshield later...

If your Camry is a 00-01, go with that one..

As easy as that...

Engines are supposed to be the same but remember that for years 2000-2001 the Camry experienced some changes.. I'd go with the one that matches my car's built year..

experienced changes but doesnt matter, intakes are universal for 4 and 4.5.. they just included a heatshield for the 00-01 models, their reason isnt known.

ill tell you straight out that unless its a CAI, it wont make a difference. heat shield or not.

u think it could fit a gen3?

You can clearly see the difference in the VSV hose attachment.

Why dont you order the TRP CAI instead, may still be available.

Like mentioned before, get the one for your year. A heat shield costs around $20 or so. I know because I bought an AEM short ram intake w/o a heat shield and bought a universal one a little after for cheap.

smog checks, i know injen will give you a document of some sort stating its 50 state smog legal.

94CoupeV6 · 10-10-2006, 04:41 AM

Yeah, if you live in California then you definately need something that's 50 state legal. Injen probably does, but TRP doesn't I would bet. Wow am I glad I don't live in an anal emissions state. That would suck to have to worry about that all the time. Good ole' Minnesota.

Just put back the stock intake when you go for smog check, how difficult can that be?

Luckynumber5 · 10-10-2006, 07:49 AM

Heat shield wont do anything, we just had a huge thread on this

basically when the cars moving the engine bay temps are within 20*f of the ambient (outside) temperature.

cuz me being a dumbass i threw it away, so i need something 50 state legal. maybe i can get a TRP CAI extension and install it.

fox_prime · 10-10-2006, 03:51 PM

All Injen intakes for Camrys are C.A.R.B. certified, meaning that it's legal in all 50 states. You don't have to carry around a document saying that, just show the dumb cop the CARB sticker that's already physically engraved in it.

Yes, your car will pass smog (in CA) if you have it installed, so no worries.
Only way you WON'T pass smog is if you have a TRP CAI in there, since TRP hasn't considered CARB for awhile now.

the injen sri does come with a carb legal sticker on it to show that it is legal in all 50 states. =]. i bought mine for my gen 4 (97). honestly i dont notice a difference unless im going 70+ but even then it might just be in my head.
