Cone bumper Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Cosmonaut · 11-09-2009, 01:05 AM

sry i dont have pics but i think we all know what one looks like

my question is concerning the little "port" above and to the right of the grill. i assume that is to be used in conjunction with a SRI.

i looked at my car where a SRI would sit and noticed an oblong shaped hole and imagine that the bumper's port would be positioned in front of that hole.
i dont know exactly how well they align but would water entering saturate the filter or is this not a problem?

He is talking about the slot ABOVE the UPPER grille on the c-one bumper. yes it can be used to help get air to your filter might have a problem with water

Yes lrr, thats the one im talking about.i figured it would aid with air flow to the filter but i guess dont drive when it rains?

I doubt it would let in enough water to clog up the filter! If someone shoves a gardening hose in there MAYBE, but rain, should not be a problem...

hehe it's alright; at any rate try p/m'ing Sabretooth. he has used filter covers for cold air intakes, and has had success (down here in Florida you know we get rain). they're kinda like a jacket for the filter itself.
