what cold air intake does to the car ? more speed ?

thats nice.... but i think you can get it cheaper from a hardware store....

CAI/SRI setups dont add more than like 2hp ... but they give your engine a mean sound

glad to see TRP still havent refunded me my $$$ for the CAI fu*king thieves
anyways you should just get a Weapon R Short Ram and you're good

lol that looks like a duct from the washer and dryer. just get a sri. it won't really make a difference.

yea me either...i ordered one and i still havent gotten my money back

That is the cheapest looking CAI i have ever seen. And i have seen some ghetto ones.

Venom_5 · 04-20-2007, 04:11 AM

look at better companies like Injen, Ractive, Weapon R, AEM ... not cheap ebay sales

MemphisR · 04-20-2007, 09:30 AM

yea they sell that same shit for my truck and its like 50 bucks for one of those, or 250- 300 for a cold air from a more reputable brand, i dunno if its honestly worse then a more expensive intake, but id be worried that it may get crushed or something but i guess if you really want a cai for a camry you dont have too much choice anymore tho

Im running the Injen SRI with CAI extension...tight fit on the Gen4. but i get the mean sound and rumble. and i gained 2mpg both city and highway. my only drawback is i get CELs once in a while, they do go away after a lil while. usually say the engine is running lean.

oh well. if you asked me, id say its worth it. the 2-3mpg i get keeps me happy. and the whoooshing when im idling had the valet parking boy think my car was SC'd lol

bigbird · 04-20-2007, 01:53 PM

that looks just like mine.

assemble it urself, ull save the shipping. if ur looking for somthing a little more ridgid and looks better then specter makes prebent aluminum tubing sections that u could assemble but it would cost about 40 bucks for just the tubing.

hey edmo,
where did u get the extension? does it fit into the fender? if i had to i would buy an injen short ram and buy the extension like u did

Edmo83 · 04-21-2007, 07:00 PM

i got it from solaraguy, yea it BARELY fits, it seemed to fit better on the solara, but feels extra tight in my car. a lot more 1mz stuff fs on SG really. wish i spent more time there, lol
