Quick question for anyone to answer...Out of the intakes listed, which one is the easiest fit and/or gives the most improvement for a 2009 Corolla Xrs?
Seriously looking at the Injen. Any feed back is appreciated. Probably paired up with the Borla Catback.

Thanks

I think that you will see similar improvements from most any intake, either SRI or CAI, which will be around 5 HP. That being said the SRI will be much easier to install & change or clean the air filter. The CAI needs to have the bumper removed to install the intake.

"CAI My Way" would be the absolute easiest...no bumper removal required....

it'll be a cold air for sure but which one?The borla exhaust is axle back then?what exactly is the difference? It's the only exhaust of any sort that I could find to fit the '09 Xrs. Do you guys think it's the best way to go or are there other recommendations. thanks for the input, im planning on doing some shopping with this weeks pay check. I have friends that work at the local dealer and he said he would help me with the bumper removal.

im sorry i wasnt very helpful, i would say that sri and cai are similar btu you may get more from a cai. all brands should also be similar but some have heat shields and diferent types of filters. for exhaust i would go custom cat back with a borla muffler

just quick comment do u like the look of the rear bumper and skirt on the new corolla and would it fit on the '09? ifind the front looks like a mazda6(yuck) but instead of the seam on the rear skirt and the round reflectors im nosure which i like better.

URNMEISME · 05-03-2011, 07:43 PM

why custom?and how?

ilikebass7 · 05-03-2011, 07:49 PM

pay a shop to do custom exhaust. shouldnt be to tough for them. and yeah the rear looks great on the 2011. i dont think itll fit though
