For those owners of the 5h gen celica's, where in the world have you found your CAI? Am i just going to have to build one? Oh yeah, for the 5sfe. It's like searching for diamonds in cow manure. Please any one?

Make one. Go to eBay, get a CAI with lots of pipe or just get pipes with 2 or 3 90deg bend. Get some couplings and cut and fit your own CAI.

The easy way out, K&N drop in filter. Stock air box is a CAI, change the filter for better flow.

Yeah, that's what i figured. I don't mind making one. I've helped make a couple before, but, for resale purpose I have been thinking about Name products. My creation is fine for me but will it for some one else? that's why i asked.

I've seen those, that's pretty much what I will be doing by building one. That person just puts them together on a daily basis using a welder and mandel bent pipes. I really mean Name Brand, AEM, Injen, Iceman, etc.

Stock car always has better resale valve. Unless you happen to find someone just like everything you did. Modded car usually mean abuse and that lower the valve a lot.

Exactly, but my Celica is and has been watch by pretty much the whole town's male population. Even before I decided to sale it I had 8- 10 people coming to my door asking about it. So, I have been restoring the paint cleaning the engine bay, changing belts and such, and looking for some N/A hp increasers. These people are eating it up.

Then get AEM CAI and modify it. Or just AEM sticker
