Air Intake

raecelica · 12-16-2006, 07:38 PM

A friend and I installed a JDM short ram intake on my Celica (2001 GT auto) about a year and a half ago and I haven't had any major problems with it, but for several reasons I am wanting to move up to something... less sketch. I say that because one of the sensors (a hose) has no place on the intake and is just duct-taped to the side of it; the main sensor that is supposed to fit into and screw onto the intake fits less than optimally and is attached poorly. I've been looking at some different options, but I'm not sure what to get. I want the best performance that I can get with a reliable name. I need something that will fit on the automatic GT and have places for all three sensors (2 hoses plus the larger one). I'd like something that is actually made for the car rather than a generic intake that will sort-of fit. Any suggestions?

Yeah, i'd get the injen... i find them to be better quality and generally make more horsepower.
