so i wanna get a new intake (pics now in profile!) Options

[Greyform]

hey all, so i just recently got a 97 celica st, and i want to get a new intake since i just have the stock intake box on there right now, but i dont know that much about engines and the mechanics that are behind them, im looking for any boost in horsepower but i mostly want that cool racing sound that you see in all those street racing flicks (call me a ricer or whatever i like it lol) so another thing i want is a new exhaust, whats a decently priced yet good performance exhaust i should lookout for? thanks in advance. oh and btw this is my first post on the forums but ive been lurking for like 3 weeks, i was shown this site by my friend who sold me the car which is a silver celica st with a carbon fiber hood/hatch front, back bumper and sideskirts have a bodykit also.

UPDATE: i now have like 10 pics of my celica in my profile so if you wanna see it there on there for your veiwing pleasure!

First things first, welcome to the forum. Post a pic of your car!

As for your question, what you are hearing in those movies is the exhaust. Members with ST's will be able to tell you more about what sounds best for the exhaust.

As for the intake, we are pretty limited. You can get on Ebay and get a short ram intake for something like $30 shipped. It will give you, in all reality, maybe 1 whole horsepower. But it sounds cool. Your other option is to custom fabricate a cold air intake. It isn't difficult to do if you take your time. It might give you 2 horsepower, if you're lucky. Browse around the forums and you'll be able to figure out exactly what you want and what will work best for you.

But mostly just post some pictures of your car
