Hey Guys, thanks for all the great responses about turboing my Celica...now I have another question...
-do cold air intakes really help performance?...or do they just sound cool? (No pun intended:))... -is it worth the price?...and where do you get them?? - - -i found one on ebay, w/a k&n filter for $113.00... -also how is the hp increase?...I assume the engine likes these guys b/c it gets more air to it?? ***Let me know what you think in general about cold air intakes...*** -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

yah it sounds beefier but not like 500 hp
the piping and welding cost me around $50 i think. maybe less i dont remember total i spent about $120 i think it works better than the ebay ones the aem one is really nice i really like mine... ive never seen one before and it works great |
