So I did some research, and I think that I want a Short Ram Intake. My question is, what brand do you like for the money? If I am going to drop the cash, I want to know it's worth my investment. I drive an 06 tC.

Thanks!

 

get an injen, so when you want to suck in cooler air instead of the warmer air that your SRI will be sucking in, you can make it a CAI.

 

^ yeah injen FTW!

 

x2!!

 

Injen is good, I have a CAI from them. personally I think the filter is the most important piece of the system. I think you could get an ebay intake, but put a good K&N or Injen filter on it and you should be good. Not sure if the short rams throw a CEL or not, but that could be a difference between ebay and Injen as well

 

Injen...that is all
/thread

 

How do you do this? By adding a pipe or something? And if i get a injen CAI, can i turn it into a SRI?

 

the injen intake comes with both of the pipes. you just attack the 2nd piece to make it a CAI.

 

I dont mean to threadjack but does anyone have a good diy on how to install a sri cuz im not payin to have it done

 

EBAY!!! please dont waste over 200 hundred bucks for a stupid intkae, i got my short ram for 50 shipped off ebay brand and it fit perfectly and worked perfect for over a a year and a half

 

Will this eBay SRI throw a CEL on a 2007+ tC?

If this would work with my tC ('09) and throw a new filter on there, I'd be very happy.

 

meh, that one looks kinda iffy, shape doesnt look right and they dont show the MAF

i'd go with something more like this:

can be a short or cold air and would fit the year

 

Yeah, I didn't notice the strange shape to the short ram I listed, but it does look like it's missing a bend. Thanks for the feedback.

 

no problemo

pretty sure anything that fits the 07-08 wors with 09 as well

 

x345256 dont be cheap w/ parts!

 

i bought a ebay intake for 30 bucks kept the short ram part and bought 2 different filters for it an AEM dryflow filter and a Injen filter spent bout 40 on them so all in all i spent 70 bucks for a short ram intake with GOOD filters. no porblems 3 yrs later no CEL no nothing. i dont really see the point of spending 300 bucks for a intake when u can do eaxtly wat i did and still have the same "performance" as others considering the most important thing is the filter

 

dude with all that money you're making with your clothing line. you can afford that mr cupcakes!

btw i got mine 170 new. craigslist ftw!! i got a hell of a deal

 

HAHAHA oh man im so ballin' with my JC clothing line (lol no)

yea i read taht u got for a hell of a deal i woulda jumped on that but i spent 70 bucks same filter as ya :p and an AEM one aswell lol

 

Custom TC makes a nice short ram or just get on off ebay

 

is it just me or does that look exactly like an injen intake!
