Cold Air Intake - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisPR · 10-02-2010, 12:08 PM

I've been running my home-made Intake 4 years and never had a problem, except it looks ugly!!!!

It's a ShortRam with a 3" wide flexible extension (Normally it is in the same place the CAIs made for the Yaris are. Also I can remove the fog light and stretch it down there cause I have an extra fog light base modded for holding the flexible extension).

The car pulled 107whp (on a mustanf dyno) with it, so DIY works

Now I have installed the CAI from ebay (got it for free, a friend got tire of it) and I'm about to dyno the car again so I can compare results.

Sorry for the extra dirty engine bay, but flooded streets here are in order this time of year.

whats the brand of your intake on the picture?
