CAI is done an i FINALLY have pictures

[bpcamrydude]

ok guys i posted on here a while ago about my CAI intake bein done an i never had pictures so now i do an here they are i don't care if you think it's ghetto because i already know it is but hey it works and i haven't had any problems since so yea!



as you can see i didn't quite go the traditional route of goin through the hole in the side where the stock piping goes...instead i went right under the battery and right on top of the drivetrain and then used elbow pipe to direct the PVC between some little triangle space in the frame and then to hold up the intake from fallin on the ground i used zip ties and some screen meshy material this was all accomplished in less than 3 hours very nice if you guys who are contemplating wanting to do this sort of custom CAI an have questions about materials needed just post on this or PM me and i'll help ya out anyway check it out an lemme know what you think...and once again i know it's ghetto and very cheap but get over yourself

excellent ghetto mod! w00t!

so.. any noticeable differences?

well i had a ram air before this and it just sound cool all it was was a little fart pipe and no noticeable difference....um....the CAI wasn't THAT noticeable like some people wanna believe that it would be but thanks to my finely tuned back and my highly sensitive stock camry seats i could feel a little more pull in the high end RPM's and that's exactly where you are SUPPOSED to feel the power of a CAI...right now i just have an APC filter on there from wal-mart but i'm gonna experiment with a K&N filter cuz everyone an there mom swears on it being the best filter so...yea

looks good , wish i coulda got pics of mine bf i totalled it. you did yours roughly one of the ways i did mine. lol i must made 2 or 3 cai's one consisting of a neon cold air extension. good job though

Actually a shorter intake pipe with less bends will give you more of a high end/peak gain. A cai with a longer pipe and more bends will give you more of a linear gain for midrange to high-end.

[bpcamrydude]

good point an your explanation is a better way of how i was tryin to explain my power gains...but like i said. not much.

Damn you need some yantas

this is what you do...
go to home depot buy some rubber pipes (rubber, dont worry they have the right sizes and all the clamps you need)
next your gonna need an electric supercharger (runs of electricity)
i used two engines from 2 hair dryers
if you want you can get the plastic pipes put you gotta do all the cutting
if you dont feel like doin that just use a pepsi can
then get a pop charger and have fun
it works real good
forget ram air

Yup Purple is more powerful than yellow.

a little cocky....This New intake i am working on will beat all of yours!!!

[MadDawg]

how do i get underneath the bumper without taking too much appart? i'm gonna either put an air vent thingy or a tube down under there and up to behind the battery,.

dude, i'm really currious, did you remove the battery, and go in its place? also, those fuse boxes are so anoying, agree? i wish there was an easy way of mounting the battery over on the right side, and redo all the wiring to that section. that would be gravey,
