Would this fit my Celica SX 2.2L?

or would I need a different one?

and if you suggest a different type of intake (better one) let me know.


Thanks !

well it says 2.2 but the pic is off a ST celica, I don't see why It wouldn't, you can also buy proper cold air intakes on ebay.

It will work.

it will work and it sounds good, all of the 6th gen us models have the same intake manifold, some of them just do not have the breather tube like mine, but they are nice and only take about 5 minutes from start to finish, and it gives a pretty good sound along with a few hp increase, i love the way mine sounds

Incorrect. The 7A and the 5S do NOT share the same intake manifold.

ok then let me rephrase this, they have the same inlet for the intake to adapt to and the same MAF sensor, the intake will fit

MAF sensor

You have the 5S-FE which has a 2.5" throttlebody.

Basically you need a 3" Intake pipe (any will do, aslong as its free of loose shavings and is smooth)

2.5" to 3" reducer coupler

2 clamps for the coupler - 2.5" and 3"

An additional 3" clamp for the air filter

And an air filter - I recommend K&N Pod filter or HKS Mushroom Filter but any will do.

If the pipe has a 10mm nipple on it you can connect the existing oil breather pipe, Otherwise put a Minifilter on the end of the oil breather hose.

PS: that minifilter on the side of that intake pipe doesn't need to be there. A simple vacuum cap will do.

MAF is mass airflow sensor

Not applicable to any Gen6 engine.

SS-II/III BEAMS engines are MAF/AFM (A MAF (Mass Air Flow) or AFM (Air Flow Meter) measure the mass or volume of air.)

Woops, Forgot about the Beams.

Pretty sure MrAysli doesn't have a Beams though

i know what it stands for, just not sure if 5s has it but now i know beams has it.

Beams is the one engine I have never experienced in a Celica, Although it's pretty nice in an Altezza RS200 (If it wasn't such a heavy car)

Well guys I've just purchased this item and waiting for the payment to clear.

So thanks for the advice.

i don't have that exact intake, but im telling you, once you take it for a drive you'll get a fat grin on your face

I got it, and can confirm this Sound is so nice, and if giving it some while idling it will sometimes sound as if u got a tiny blow off valve;)

Yea it makes driving just that much more fun

yea i can agree with the big fat grin, just hit the gas when your drivign in an underpass, i love it, its almost as loud as an exhaust, i love mine and would never put the stock back on

Filter boxes don't make any sense. All they do is rob you of power and make you come back in to get serviced every time you need a new filter............ok now it makes sense. Greedy bastards.
