[DSToyo]

[95st-celica]

what size piping is it?

it's 2.5" piping...make a big difference now that i have been driving it around..i hit like 4 grand and the vacume it creates is incrediable...jokingly i said it gave me about 1-2 HP but now that i have been drivin it it feels more like 5 or more...nice difference

Where'd ya get it from?

ebay...30 friggin bucks...cant beat it...took me about an hour to instal and i had to cut the pipe to get it a perfect fit....im actually quite impressed

I have the EXACT same kit. But on a 2.2 L. Seems pretty good and well worth the cash, header next.

yep same here...buyin it off ebay..header to a high-flow cat...or maybe no cat at all to an HKS or borla exhaust..should help a little but dam* these things are slow...lol

[mikeismad0408]

not so sure that i would trust an ebay header, if it doesnt fit its a pain in the ass to send back if you even can send it back and to top it off you have to have some custom work done to even make the pipes long enough on most of the headers on ebay.

Nice find!

Maybe I'll get that one too, I've been looking for a CAI to be set up this summer.

i have that header on my car, but i paid $70+$30 shipping. for me its a direct fit, for you guys follow the how-to. i feel like i gained ALOT of topend, lost a little lowend, but it totally changed the way the engines powerband feels. really screams from 3000 to 6000 now, for me. mine really is stainless, so i wrapped it and that helped to keep from cooking my hood and changed its sound a little, got the car to closed loop a little faster, gets the cat going a little quicker, and feels like it made a small difference in how the engine responds once its hot. thats probably due to a lower intake temp because i took alot of heat out of the engine bay.

I bought a 90-93 accord intake like a couple people suggested on another post and i got it today....wasnt really what i was expecting..i thought it was 2 pipes but mine came in 1...so i took everything out of the box..they gave me the pipe the filter and all the clamps i needed...took out the old box..cut the pipe to fit..n these are the results:

nope....i jacked it up and took a little bit of the wheel well plastic out...just peeled it out a litte and theres a black air box that you have to take out too...once that is out and the air box under the hood is out you cut the pipe and stick the straight end with the slight curve up into the engine bay from underneath and then put the filter on...not really that difficult

I actually did it I guess the wrong way and have the long end in the engine bay and the short end sticking into the fender.

[Redline08]

I bought a cold air intake for the 7afe celica off eBay and it didnt fit at all even after cutting it, now i have this weird set up where my filter is a little less than 2" from my headers, not good at all, SRI would have been a better choice...

Your set up looks hot tho, all you did was get a 90-93 accord intake and cut it? What is that third pic?

Thanks

[undasighted]

which kit did you get?

[Redline08]

a CAI from chromeintakes, POS

[undasighted]

I just followed his link up there to order one. I'll put up pics when I finish it.

[Sinyk]

95st, you say you had to remove the wheel well plastic and you also say you bent it back. Did you just bend it or did you have to actually remove some plastic from the well permanently to get this to fit?

Nice work btw!

good to know Redline. I was looking at those ChromeIntakes ones on ebay also. Sorry to hear it didn't work. : \
