helll...you can get a TRD one...i'm jealous.

The TRD ones are pretty.

The AEM ones are similair and probably get the same gains but they are not as pretty (prob. a bit cheaper).

These two are both good and the only CAIs I know of for 03+ Corollas.

ok, thats great but what about the sensor on the top of the excsting air filter hose?????
I checked the models that you guys recomanded, they are great, thank you much. But like I said, it didnt show in the pic, where dos the sensors atached???

Those models will have everything to hook it up.
The vacum tube and the MAF have a place to go.

I'm personally leaning towards the AEM short-ram intake because the low-lying location of the CAI filters scares me to death that the CAI will suck up water and hydrolock my engine.

Plus the SRI looks cooler to me, since I can see the filter instead of having it buried in the engine bay like the CAI.

If you are worried about hydro lock, just get the AEM bypass valve, then it has the added bonus of having something cool in your engine bay for you to look at.
