Intake suggestions? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #22942 13 posts Started by gemStudio
I have a 95 ST and I am looking to replace the stock intake. Does anyone know where to find one online. Also which brand is best.

im such a noob at this >biggrin.gif> lol

I think to get the cold air you have to do one of two things. Run your piping all the way down to the front bumper where the stock intake grabs air from, or pull out your highbeam and do it like this guy...

Not a bad mod....but kind of looks like dookie >tongue.gif> ! Also kind of ruins the appearance a tad.
If you want to go direct cai, get a GT4RC front bumper, and fab the piping twards the grill. This is what a good friend of mine did when I was stationed in USNS Mayport, (Jacksonville)FL. You hardly even knew it was there.

Just a different approach though. >smile.gif>

I am a big fan of cai before short ram. it makes more sense to me.
just make one your self, there to easy to make to be paying somelse moneyu for one. Go to Jegs and order some exhaust tubing and cut to how you want. easy..
Make your own cai. look in the how too section, its quite easy and adds a few hourses, plus it sounds sick.
I also have a 95 ST and I have a CAI. It comes out and goes straight down to the bottomside where it picks air up from the front bumper, and also from a hole in the plastic cover on the bottom of the engine compartment... I know it isnt a homemade CAI, but it has no brand name on it, so they are out there... hope that helps

you dont bend anything, you buy prebent pipes then cut were you need to and use cuplers.. maybe you should by a premade one.
