My 2 cents.... FWIW......
I remember early on when the 7th gen Celica was released. Someone dynoed it with the stock air fiter installed and, with it absent. . Without the stock filter, it gained abou 5 hp in the top end and published the results. This was basically the same gain you would get if you installed a good CAI. So I installed a K&N filter in my Celica and called it a day. I also installed a TRD exhaust. IMO modern air boxes are pretty efficient and little is to be gained with a CAI over a free flowing filter. A CAI wiil give you a "WOW" factor and can be a 1st step in gaining a bit more power but, on it's own, it's not usually worth it. Last edited by RedRide; 02-12-2011 at 04:24 PM. |

What's the difference between the AEM cold air intake and the aFe intake? Is there a general consensus as to which is better? TRD make an intake kit but it costs $$$ and says "not for highway use"...I guess it's too noisy.

Also I don't know that there's any real difference between the brands except for the brand name itself. They all differ a little in appearance as well so I guess go with whichever is most aesthetically pleasing to your eye. But as far as performance goes, I can't imagine they are all that different. I think of that skit from Brian Regan where he talks about what a Fridge salesman could possibly have to say.... "This keeps your food cold for $400, and this model here keeps your food cold for $500." lol. sorry there i go again off topic.

AEM (or other brand) cold air intake has piping that puts the filter in your wheel well. + is that the intake air is colder, - is that you have to remove your fender liners (and wheel) to service the filter.

"not for highway use" or "for who purposes only" has to be used on a part that has not been certified as CARB (emissions,etc.) or DOT legal. It's not related to noise -- well, it could be if it were an exhaust.

If i'm not mistaken, its a purge valve for the evap system
on my scion...i left the air box in place so it had a place to stay when i fabricated my intake. of course i know you guys don't have that option with intakes... this lil' 1nz loves to scream!

15-20 hp is a joke. Maybe in a car that has 400hp a different intake that lets the engine breathe easier, may give that amount of performance. In our case, the 108 ponies (which there are less of at the wheels} will probably gain around 3 more ponies from the intake. I installed a Secret Weapon R intake about month ago and my MPG hasn't changed, but I drive more aggressive now. Gassing it on long stretches sometimes to hear that 1.5L beast roar. Probably if I wouldn't do that, my MPG would have increased by a 0.7-1.5 at most. p.s. normally I get around 30mpg. Last edited by Trubin; 02-17-2011 at 06:08 PM. Reason: Picture edit |
