Just wondering, what is the best kind of Cold Air intake for our car, as well as the best bang for the buck intake besides stock... I'm asking because I have a crappy hybrid one that the previous owner had installed, so I'm just wondering what are some good options for me to replace it with? I'll get some pics tonight for u guys to see... because honestly I don't know if this intake is good or not...

Ethnic.. I know you know the answer to that question so I'm a bit confused.

iTrader: (5)

well the thing is, I'm not quite sure how good the intake I have is, since i'm not all that familiar with it, I don't know the brand or anything... so I'm going to post pictures tonight to see if anyone can recognize it... but as far as the best intake or best bang for the buck aftermarket intakes, I'm not quite sure which are the best, so any help is appreciated

PR style...the one that goes under the battery...but using the stock mid pipe.

i agree on the pr style one k2 sells some nice ones... i bought one and have had not a single problem with it... just make sure u can drill a 3 inch hole or get someone to do it or its useless

eBay is your best bet, just get a better filter.

AEM dryflow FTW

I was surprised to see you post this question as well. I would expect you to know this stuff too. Anyways, name brand is ****. People for hundreds for Injen because its name brand and think its the best. I had a fight with somebody the other night because they said their Injen was better than a CAI....come on now. Anyways, anything you have that goes through the fender is considered the best. Remember its always the same, colder air is denser and makes more power. I'm going to have someone bend pipes for my intake because of the 00vi (can't get anything to fit correctly). I'll be using the stock midpipe as well because it's said to be better (going by Jsutter on this one). There is no name brand but will still be good.

I would say Monsterflow over AEM dryflow. AEM filters do have a great rating tho.

After research I have installed a PRCAI with a Monsterflow filter, widely considered the best setup.

iTrader: (5)

not sure exactly what u guys mean when u say an intake that goes in the fender, anyone have pictures?

Neo Raven456

iTrader: (5)

directly behind/under the battery, you have a fender, you cut a hole through that and you now have access to a small compartment between your driver side wheel well and your headlights

Cdg2125

Exactly as Neo stated. The point of a true CAI is that it gets the coldest air possible. In the fender is usually the coldest air the car will pick up.

I think I saw it around the forums once, on a track maxima someone routed an intake where the headlight would be, so all the cold air flew straight in, looked like a great design although not street friendly

When my brother races his Supra at the track he removes one headlight exposing the filter, which is directly behind the light. A custom box surrounds the filter to force all air into the filter.

Here is an older pic of his engine bay, before the box surrounding the filter was put in, but you get the idea of what removing the headlight does.

yeah people have done that on here. I dont track so I want something getting cold air all the time.

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

Here are some of my engine bay pictures, so u guys can see what kind of Intake it is, because I really have no clue as to what brand it is... all I did to it was put in a K&N filter

buzpuck11

iTrader: (3)

Might want to change your brake fluid, it looks pretty brown (it should be almost clear with a yellow tint).

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

damn it's dirty in there. It's just a HAI. No brand name my guess.

Gismo-T

iTrader: (38)

It's time for a Spring cleaning!!!
Looks like a mid-pipe w/ K&N filter= HAI

gunny11218

ok first off your engine bay is dirty as all hell and second off, buy a cheap intake off of ebay because a pipe is a pipe, i bought my old short ram for 45 bucks with shipping. thats your best way to go.

Gismo-T

iTrader: (38)

He already has a short ram.... needs a CAI

iTrader: (1)

here;s some pics of the PR / Cattman intake.

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

how much do those run for?

and whats a CAI?

and yes I know my engine bay is dirty as sin, but its not like I have a lot of chances to clean it out. not even sure how to clean it out because most of it is rust and I don't want to make it worse

CAI = Cold air intake
HAI = Hot Air Intake
PRCAI= PR Cold Air Intake (i think, and no if you can't figure out what PR stands for i won't tell you)

semaj3708

iTrader: (1)

come on be nice. PR= Place Racing- condsidered one of the best CAI, no longer manufactured.

Ques? Does anyone have a pic or link to show where exactly the hole needs to be drilled into the fender?

jltibbs

iTrader: (1)

ummm theres a pic 3 posts above yours that shows the intake going into the fender. right beside the battery, below the fuse box

i think hes asking where it goes exactly if you want try and hit up brian at cattman and he'll send you the template where the hole is supposed to go

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

wow, newbie being an a$$...not sure if you can do that yet haha. Anyways, if you the CAI you can figure out where it needs to be cut in the fender. If not then you probably shouldn't be trying to install one.

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

how much do u guys think is a good price to pay for these?

Gismo-T

iTrader: (38)

Quit asking questions, you know what it costs & what a PRCAI is.....

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

lol, I really don't know why u guys think I know these things, I'm quite serious when I say I don't know anything about cars... I've only RECENTLY gotten interested in cars (Since I've bought my Max) so don't assume that I know about cars just because of my post counts lol... I'm just trying to get all the facts straight because I"m still learning so just be patient with me guys...

My apologizes, i thought PR meant something else. Sorry guys, didn't mean to offend anyone that's y i didn't spell out what I thought it was. I have been corrected and for future knowledge will keep this retained in my memory banks.

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

Well PR is not made anymore. A lot of ebay intakes are CAI. Anything that goes through the fender wall is good. Doesnt matter name or price really.

jltibbs

iTrader: (1)

most of the ones i see on ebay are injen tech style. haven't seen any that are PR

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

so basically all the aftermarket intakes are crap right now, anyone know why the PR is no longer sold?

nismos14

iTrader: (56)

Yea because of all the knock-offs on ebay.
