any one know when companies like AEM and Injen are gonna start makin their intakes for the xD

or when DC or any other company is gonna put out some headers for us?

 

eventually?

 

Hrm Fujita makes intakes right? Well back in Sept/Oct I had the chance to lend them my car for an intake R&D, but I didn't do it. I can only assume it will hit stores before summer since that is when Tanabe's muffler is set to drop and a few other parts as well.

 

give it time dude.., it will happen, if it is too slow for you, make your own...

 

i made my own short ram intake. Super easy install. Just put a good filter like a K&N cone filter that u find on other cold air setups and put it where the stock box is. Doesn't take anymore than 20 minutes and like $30 or less.

 

Chels wht didn't you?

Elijahtc, i think thats what i will end up doin. do u know the specs on a home made ram compared to an after market one?

i really want some headers though, they need to hurry up with them. :/

 

i know the corolla and the xD both have the 1.8 engine, but from what i heard the one in the xD is the first dual VVTi engine released in the us.

You could always try soemthing like this, its cheap enough so if you mess it up, you can trash it. The only thing i'd be worried about is the placement of the MAF


*edit*
I put up a link to an old intake.... heres the one for 07

I didn't do it because they would have had my car for 5 days, basically a whole week. At the time I was in school and working with no transportation. ;) Don't mind that I didn't do it, but it would have been fun hehe.

 

i was going to ask the same question about the header too

 

ill probably just rock the k&n filter till somethin comes out.

as for headers, keep us posted on anything yall find out. thanks

 

I let aFe use my vehicle for development. Here is a pic of the system. What do you guys think? I think it should be on the market in the next week or two. I noticed a 3mpg increase and some throttle response. They did a dyno but havent released the numbers. Ill fill you guys in when they give me more info.

 

That looks good. Are you planning on going to any shows or meets in the area? I'd like to take a look

I've never heard of aFe so no idea what their track record is. Do you know anything about them?

 

Check out there website. www.afepower.com
They are very big in the truck/suv market and diesel market. I think they make product for TRD. I believe they make products for other scions as well. It seemed like a bigger company when I was there.
I was not planning on going to any shows but when I get a free production piece I can start a new thread on it for others.

 

that setup looks identical to what you can do with a $25 filter and a little creativity... wheres the cold air setup?
