yes,,it's mild loud but when the air is cold and u hit above 4k rpm it's very loud sometimes i think it's a different car that is making the loud sound..

Yeah after 4K RPM's, it f-ing SCREAMS. I think it improved throttle response quite well and maybe 2-3 hp. As for your negative bettery terminal touching the filter, I have the same problem and when it touches it makes a huge spark and burns a little bit of the metal around the filter. I can't really think of anything to do about it, but I think cutting the pipe 2 inches would be the best thing to do.

The negative battery cable should be long enough to turn it like this;



Or replace the air filter with (10 degrees) angled flange like or similar to: K&N RF-1035

I did turn my negative battery terminal to the side, but it still occasionaly touches my heat shield. I just don't really care about it much, so I don't ever try to fix it.

I bought the CPE MAFci™ System for Gen 1 Solara (3.0L) intake system for $469.95 from RPM store and I added the($99) tunable version of the MAFci module plus the by-pass module.

Though the Sienna engine is also IMZFE, the cp-e intake system is not a direct fit. Mounting bracket extension had to be fabricated and connecting/tapping the wires of the MAFci module to the ECU wiring harness is a challenge.

^^^^Nice engine bay ^^^^^

15-18whp and 15-20tq from that intake? DAMN. That's all I can say, is DAMN. And SiennaSC98, can you PM some info of your car...some pic's and specs? I'm very blown away.
