Hey all. This will be my thread for ones to follow along who may want to create their own air intake instead of buying the Camry i4 k&n intake kit, which I have not yet found for the new 2.5L. I'm doing this mod on the most part for sound, while still on a budget.
Here's my plan.
I plan to use a universal air sensor coupling (made by Spectre) where the red circle is drawn, replacing the connection that is already here. Everything from that point forward will be removed, like the stock airbox/intake. Everything within the blue circle will be left alone. Then, I will either take a short extension piece, made by Spectre, again, and connect it onto the new coupling, then put a high-flow cone filter on the end. Or, I'll just put the new cone filter directly onto the coupling itself.
My question is, will the black pipe that will connect to the new coupling be strong enough to hold up the new filter? Or should I be thinking of fabricating a support?
This should run just around 50 dollars, it'll give me the sound I am looking for, and I won't have a drone like I would if I were to just weld on a Magnaflow on my car.
Thanks for viewing/your help!
