NEW Cold Air Intake Design!, currently ST... but possible GT Options

[Kwanza26]

So I had to smog my car, and took everything off a while ago... and just recently, I reinstalled my CAI.



As you can see, it's different than typical custom CAI which follow Spedtoe's version, but this works also. There's a little bit of rattle underload, which almost sounds like a stock BOV (unintentional) but overall... neat. It goes into the hole under the fusebox and sits in the same place as the DR CAI design, but it doesn't travel down by the tranny, which IMO, keeps the piping a lot cooler. Overall... it works all the same... but it's something different and something possible for a GT.



If there is a local member around here with a GT that would like to test-fit and possibly have built for them, a custom GT CAI... contact me and we shall see. ;]

if we lived close you could have mine to test. i want a cold air pretty bad. but short rams sound better

[Digndoug]

Sorry to break it to ya.. but thats kinda old news... I did that with mine. about year ago.. also.. It works fine with a 92-95 civic one.. get it from ebay iyts cheap.. but i get a lot of rattlein still havnt made a moun for it..

HOW did u fit an air filter in that small hole..i just put a cai on my celi and ran it down under the engine colant. when i took the fuse boxs off i was like ****..my left nut is bigger then that hole..however u did it..props man....let me in on the secret

[ssnake86]

how does a CAI sound opposed to a short ram? i just got a custom CAI made by our very own 95celgt. Very nice, took a while to get it, but i will defiantly say it was worth it. I just hope it doesnt sound bad, why does a short ram sound better then a CAI. CAI just alot louder?

[Digndoug]

I was going to say, mine is loud as sheaznit.. The thign just growls.. also when i i have a cold start up.. It sounds like a vacum.. real cool sound. Also.. what i did for mine.. was run the pipe.. then pull off the plastic underneath.. then put the filter on.. it was a pain cause the tight space.. but worked nice.. besides the clankin

[Kwanza26]

Sounds like a running toilet at idle... but growls nicely undre throttle. This design should work on GT's also.

Sorry digndoug... this was new news to me and many others here I'm sure... just sharing the wealth with pictures... ;]

Well sence i have a similar but not exact il help a lil. I had to un-bolt mine and move it out like 2 inches then just used a self tapeing metal screw to hold it, so its not moving around, but never had a problem. But mine still rattles when i hit a bump, I ends up hittinh which i found out a peace sticking out fromt eh frame-design It gets kinda annoing, but i dontpay attention to it, but every one asks if my cars is going to make it or fall apart when they here it.. haha

oh and what i've discovered and pretty sure works
is the 2000 hyundia tiburon intake will work on the celica with a short 6-8" piece and sounds AMAZING
and its AEM
red, blue, silver powerder coated ect.....

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Cool air intakes sound so sweet. but when the car is cold and warming up, it sounds like a vacuum like said before. but it really does growl when you accelerate.

hmm does it have a carb sticker on it?

[playr158]

yea the hiss is from a cold start nothing wrong with it MOST CAI do make that sound..........

and its cool when people look and go huh?
and then there is no toilet bowl flush
just a nice lil growl
but i suggest 3" piping the whole way with a 3" to 2.5" adapter
for the best sound quality and performance (just look at the AEMs)

[ArizonaRed]

didn't someone take out a left highbeam and use that for a CAI? whos car was that?

[playr158]

oh don't do that please looks so ghetto
and looks like you can't aford a 4th light

why do you need a carb sticker?
all AEM intakes are street legal are they not?
