The BEAMS MAF sensor is very sensitive, so that limits your intake options down severely. There is the HKS MAF adapter, and the ever-popular SARD intake specifically designed for the BEAMS. Costs a pretty penny from RHD Japan. The 97-01 Camry intake will work, though not with good results. However, just because these intakes work doesn't mean they work well. Due to the sensitivity of the MAF, the stock air intake is considered to be the best intake for the BEAMS by far. The others are generally regarded to cause issues.

The stock airbox is the best way to go with the BEAMS.
Any intake other than stock that makes the A/F too rich and robs power.
Stick with the stock intake and get a bigger exhaust, 2.5" to make max power.

Power for the Redtop is 197 hp and 152 ft lbs of torque. I coukdnt honestly give you any round numbers for opening up your exhaust.
