Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Intake/CAI, Injen - Install

Isaac,

I just put in a injen shot ram intake, And it doesnt sound loud at all, almost like my stock air box, Did i do something wrong or is there something more i can do to it. I know its 2 increase the intake air flow but iv heard other cars with short rams and you can hear them comming down the road.

thanks surreycelica

Do you have exhaust...because if you do it kinda drowns out the sound.

No, everything is stock, the only mod iv done is put a injen short ram. Its so quiet!!!! why someone???????????????

I have a 2000 gt

I was wondering...how do you know where to cut when installing the cold air intake? Some detailed pics would make my life a lot easier. Thanks.

If you dont have exhuast, its not going to sound much different. Get an exhaust system put on and you will notice a bid difference perf. wise and sound wise!!!!! Go with Tanabe exhuast, or TRD. Hope that helps

My friend has a SR intake and his doesnt make a sound either, but I have a CAI and it makes a lot of noise and sounds real good. take it off and get a CAI

Yeah, Ive never been a fan of short rams. I purchased a CAI form E-bay. People knock it all the time, but my friend has a K&N...mine sounds better and I smoke his ass, so I obviously got more HP as well. lol.

yea I was on ebay lookin for a cheep CAI but at the time they only had GTS. So I got a Polished AEM

umm...I might sound stupid but are you revving high enough? I had a injen short ram on my celica before I went with cold air and it would growl at around 4k rpm
