Anyone have the AFE intake? - Toyota Yaris Forums

white_rice · 02-19-2013, 04:33 PM

Hey guys just wondering if any other Canadian's are running the AFE intake. I currently have an Injen CAI but remove it for the winter and re-install the factory airbox to avoid hydrolock potential. I like the idea of the filter being up higher in the engine bay and no concerns about water getting into the filter. Are these any issues that one might know of with this intake, or and reasons to stay clear from the AFE?

Thanks

I have the AFE Intake, This is two and a half winter that I have on my car. So two winter with he air intake installed and I've never had any problem.
No check engine, No water siphon in the motor.
During winter I wash my filter once in january and once in may to clean dust and other deposits of calcium.

Since 2 month, i try Grill tape. i hoped it reduce dirt in the engine bay but there is no change.

I keep the metal air box clean of dust with a rag every month.

I installed mine in December of last year, and there have been no issues thus far.
