CAI installed(pics)Update(sound clip)!!!!

Hey guys,

Yesterday I finally installed my CAI, took me about 2 hours but was totally worth it in the end. After taking it for a test drive I noticed a tiny increase in throttle response and performance but its nothing compared to a turbo.:lol: However, I love it and the sound it makes is amazing. Anyway here are some pics and I will try and post a sound clip tomorrow as it is 8 degrees right now. I also wanted to thank everyone who helped me out with this mod as it is my first engine mod.

Thanks guys,

Also when I first start it up their is a loud whistling coming from the filter, but after the engine warms up it quiets down. Is this normal, or do I need a new filter because this one is used.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I was in a rush and forgot about show & share.

Hey, great job man can you get a video up for us? Clean install!

Well it isnt really white but silver, does look white though. Anyway I love the sound it makes under acceleration. "Feel" wise it is nothing amazing but their is definitely a difference from having a stock airbox.

whistle is fine. its jsut the air being sucked through the filter. its louder on cold starts because its sucking more air.

looks good congrats

also on all toyota's the intakes whistle very loud

my friends celi and my cam are both loud

Great job! I did a quick 5 min thing on mine and just attached the cone to the end of the intake pipe, but its not that big of a deal.

As for the whistle, I hear the same thing on mine.

good work, your engine bay looks really clean for winter!

 

[nuchieboy]

lucky i wish they made one for the gen 4

 

[Sniperdude]

That is one spectacularily clean engine bay. I need to do that. What'd you clean it with?

 

[Tuner571]

Thanks for feedback guys. Sniper, to clean my engine I use simple green. It really does a great job and shines everything up.

Nice, looks good. That battery is fugly though.

 

[nodrogkam]

awesome. mmm AEM yummy.

haha you should get a nicer looking battery once this one wears down. Although i think i may have the duralast gold too but newer with the yellow top. haha

i love high cold cranking amps and extra power storage so i can sit around listening to my radio for ages.

 

[Tuner571]

^^haha, I know what you guys mean. I hate that battery, it ruins the clean look in my engine bay.

 

[DAMON]

yeah theyre right, a good looking battery combined with that aem sticker would put you at at least 300 whp :lol:

 

[Tuner571]

[DAMON]

[Tuner571]
