Need New Intake? Options

[eyohannie]

When I bought my car last week I noticed that there was a tear in the pipe thing (?) between the air filter and the engine. Right now the tear is being held together with some sort of duct/electrical tape and I feel like I should fix it right away. I don't really know how to explain it since I'm pretty much new to this whole car thing but here is a picture of what I'm talking about [it's not my actual car]:



Basically I need to replace it, and I need to know what it is and around how much it costs. Thanks guys.

well i had the same problem about a year ago ... when to toyota said the tube was 60 bucks i went autozone and got a civic intak e... for 20 bucks....

Yeah, just buy a ram air or cold air set up. It'd be cheaper. But honesty, if it's got some good electical tape on it, you really don't need to do anything. It should be fine for years to come. If it's duct tape, it will last forever.

I was looking around on some auto parts websites and these cold air intake kits cost upwards of 200 bucks. Is there any other type of cheaper solution?

You can always make your own.

It irritates me how this guy went through all the trouble of making this set up, and posting it to show us all how to get a cold air intake for around $30, and no one pays attention to it.

well 30 on up to 100 depending if you opt for the bypass valve and a name brand filter.

duct tape could fix that.

[LewFX]

but why just "fix" it when he could get a new toy and enjoy a cai!

I have a question: CAI is not smog certified, but it is not illegal in the state of California? So you can have a CAI and it's street legal, but it's not smoggable? How is this possible?

Argh... I'm just going to the dealership and getting it there if it's under $50.


Another question: Sorry if it's off topic:
BTW I hear I clicking noise most of the time I turn corners (1-3rd gears), is it my CV boot?

bear in mind what works for a st won't be the same for the gt and vice versa, the bays are different.

How? I've never seen a difference besides engine and mounts, and those are minor.

it is not CARB legal to make your own Air intake for our celica. I dont believe there is any LEGAL cai for our celica's at. California law says its illegal to modify the intake in any way. So if you want a CAI you are running a risk. BUT most cops and smog station dont car. But keep your stock airbox just incase.

the engine in a GT is in an angle and leans back towards the engine bay, the throttle body is located in a different location compared to the ST engine.

Yeah, I learnt that the hard way while trying to follow the DIY cai tutorial on the site.
