eh... sounds like you don't have one to replace. As far as I know, most CAIs for Camrys are custom made (except certain year v6s). You probably have the stock intake box and such. From what I hear, you get more HP and better gas mileage as a result. And the reasons for why it works makes perfect sense. Most CAIs that are manufactured cost $200+ (correct me if I'm wrong). Of course, you could make one yourself for half (or even less than half) the price. Find the DIY CAI thread.

CAI might lose you some low end but you will gain it back on high end. Mandrel bent pipe and a cone filter...
Gas mileage should get better, as long as your driving habits don't change, with you trying to hear the CAI at WOT.
