no wonder this thing needs more air holy restriction :D
over all easy install made a difference sounds mean

 

it is not really restriction, but a filter for the air. they make cars for the everyday person. the k&n intake looks nice in that blue

 

nice! i need to install mine. how's the power gain?

 

Do they make it in red?

Please tell me they make it and red, and be serious...

 

dont know if they have it in red, if not just paint it :D

 

yeah its listed in the catalog that all intakes come in blue, silver, red, and bright (i'm assuming polished). so yes it does come in red.

 

I can't decide what CAI to buy, I want to hear the sounds and see the gains....sigh..guess patience will have to be a virture this time around...

 

I've been through Injen, AEM, and K&N on my celica. From my experience the Injen has best top end gains, the AEM has the best low end, and the K&N is better across the power band. This is all experience with my celica though.

 

i noticed a little more grunt, very little but it sounds pretty grouwly, it gets loud . so far i like it

 

Yeah, any intake alone isn't going to add gobs of power. Once you get the header and exhaust your gains should get better though.

 

actually i have the trd exhaust no headers yet. dont think there is any yet for the tc?

 

Ahhh, who cars about the sound (J/K)

Any noticable performance gains?? Reset your ECU also......

Also, can the intake be installed without takeing off the front bumper??

 

Yeah, I don't think there is a header yet, an I/H/E setup on a tC with some sort of piggyback for fuel would be a nice little bolt-on/all-motor setup.

 

DC has a sports header you can get on mcgeorgeparts.com

 

there another one i think from newscionparts.com

 

Any body got a sound clip of the K&N CAI ?[/quote]

 

you were able to notice the difference? reason i'm asking is because generally the intake pipes are identical as far as size and shape. and then of course they all use the same filter (k&n makes AEM and Injen's air filters).

 

is the K&N a full CAI? or is it just the filter. also does it come with the Bypass valve.??

 

The K & N Typhoon is a CAI system since it gets air from the wheelwell and not the engine bay (as in short ram).

The bypass valve is patented by AEM, however you can get the right size and fit it on to the K & N CAI.

 

so can i get the k&n cai and have the aem bypass valve bought separte from AEM and then put it on the K&n pipe???
