Fujita CAI Rubbing????? - Toyota Yaris Forums

hatchbackkid82 · 03-08-2010, 03:57 PM

Can someone help me out? I just installed the Fujita CAI on my LB. The only issiue i have now is that it seems the intake sits closer to the drivers wheel. Now when ever i take a sharp right it rubs. Has anyone else had this issue with this intake?????

twist the intake piping a bit to the left or right, where it doesn't make a cling noise or rubbing noise. I did that with mine, and it has been fine for more than a year. It's the only solution to it. Find the sweet spot and you'll be set.

I use to hear a loud cling noise when going over bumps, but gone now~

I have this problem too. When turning full lock my wheels would rub it. I ended up cutting the intake in half and putting a silicone joiner in between just to get it to sit perfectly without rubbing or vibrations.

I had to bend the crap out of one of the brackets on my cold air to get it away (a little) from the spash guard over the tire, but it still rubs if I turn sharp right

In all reality, all you have to do is twist from the throttle body of the car...loosen the bolts on the t-clamps and twist, tighten, no more rubbing and clingy noise.

I've ran through the twisty hills of Calveras w/ the others...and i am turning the wheel full lock on some tight turns...no rubbing noise..
