K&N cold air intake? Options

[Etak28]

ive got a '99 Toyota Celica GT with no intake. i was looking into putting a cold air intake in but im still not sure what brand i want to go with. ive looked into K&N, Injen, and some others. so i want to get some feedback which do u have or which would u want to have thats a good brand. Thanks

drop in k&n and ditch the bottom reservior.

i think lew has the best hp/$ suggestion. you're not going to see that large of a difference between the stock system, cai, and what lew suggested.

i'v done long CAI, and short ram intake,, and my best results came from the short ram intake, you have quicker response with it,,also you dont have to spend that much money to do it, dont waste your money on K&N, its to expensive. just to to some auto parts store and buy an intake tube and filter, and custom fit it, thats what i did. and you get even more HP when you run with no filter!!!lol. but thats not to smart to do, i only do that when im at the strip running it a few time, but you really notice a difference with no filter on a short ram intake, and it sounds awsome!

i'm thinking about doing this too. but how much noise does it add? and what's the pitch of the noise? i'm sorta self-concious, i don't want to sound like an indy car when i'm less than 150hp.

you'll get some lower intake note...slightly louder nice and throaty...

btw nice to see another va person on here

thanks, playr! the cai is about what i can do that will fit my limited auto skills. hoping to get a house w/ garage so i can look at doing the swap. i got a friend who just moved to n-va, been trying to get her on here since i found out she had a 6gc (and loves it and all).
