yo i just bought an air intake (RAM) from ebay. It was the green cheap plastic kind but i dont think theyre much different from the aluminum. They just cost less. Mine cost around 20 bucks including S+H. Not a bad deal, just look around.
i have a 97 corolla, (same gen as urs corollapride) and i still have stock air intake crap. i noticed when i opened the hood, i took the stock air intake apart and i see a tube going to the air filter box, and from the air filter box towards my headlight area. if i get a ram air intake, will i have to route the new intake to the pipe that goes near my headlight?
As far as I know, that is not the only intake pipe for your car. The 1993-97 Corollas (AE102) have the big pipe opening near the headlight, and then two smaller openings on either side of the bumper grille, technically making it a CAI.
Unless you want hot air, crappier performance in the summer, and a cool noise, I would stick with the stock airbox and filter.
Hello,
Has anyone heard of the Flow Master? I was told that it would increase gave mileage and horse power. When I do a search, all I get is exhaust. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know more. I was told that I can get it at Kragen but I can't find it online.
Thanks.
Just to drop my $0.02 in here, I have a Ractive short-ram sitting right above the behind-headlight air pipe on my '96 1.8, it's gained me top-end response, and I got a dyno pull with it running as-is, then another pull with an improvised shield between the filter element and the rest of the engine bay and a fan blowing directly onto the element, simulating a 'true' CAI, or perhaps even a modest sort of ram-air hood.
The horsepower difference between short-ram in that position and the simulated CAI? The short-ram was about .2 or .5 horsepower behind. Make of that what you will.
Hmm pilot ill try setting my SRI the way you did. I havent checked under my car hood yet, but I think it might be the same as yours because my corolla is a 94.
i don't think 93-97 corollas have space for CAI.
i've got a short ram for $38 bucks off of ebay becuz i couldn't find any branded CAI for my 94 1.6L. after i put it in, the car sounded like a crap, lost a lot of torque and the MPG dropped like niagara falls. i put the stock airbox back in and started to use K&N drop-in filter. it works a lot better than the ebay one.
