Im planning on making an intake for my 2.5 and i got a couple questions...
1. whats the size of teh hole and stuff for the intake
2. which is better... short ram or cold air
3. any bit of info would help greatly

thx in advance

 

hey bro.. where in Cali are you @

 

so cal
la county
u?

 

same here bro.. im down here in LA. Id like to see if you do that intake and maybe even help you out in doing it. But I have no idea on how to begin a project. Although I do have a buddy out in Azusa whom has a pipe bending machine. what other ideas you got or have done to your ride. Let me know.

 

i think the inlet is the same as the throttle...which is, i think, 3" but i think your check engine light will come on if you put on a air intake b/c you know that plug that goes into the stock pipe? thats your oxygen sensor.. so what are you goign to do with the plug?

CAI is a lot better than short ram b/c its sucking in cool air whereas the short ram is sucking in hot air thats floating around under the hood.

 

all i got planned is the intake so far
my friend knows this place where they make custom kits and exhausts and crap(or so he says) so i might stop by there once and check it out

 

hey ELA.TL and Demons Rage whats up guys... just wondering where in LA u guys live...maybe we can check out our rides somethings. i live in monterey park.... ive been tryin to fix up my tl too but damn its hella hard to find stuff and there also soo expensive

Vinh

 

my tl's basically stock, but if i plan it out right, ill have an intake and muffer on my car by september... even maybe lowered...

 

yah just plop on an air filter with a 3 inch diameter inlet and you're good to go

 

vihn.. im not too far away from you.. right now Im in Boyle Heights, But will hopefully be moving to Montebello in the hear future. Where abouts n Monterey Park you @. That would be cool to get together and actually have some 1st gen TL's represent. We have a very small following....

 

alright heres the deal
i need the exact length of the intake, instructions to install it, pipe diameter and such... if you guys can get it to me, and it works on my car, my friend says that hes willin to make some short rams for the 2.5... we are going to try to make a CAI for my 2.5, but we cant get the exact measurements... any feedback would be very helpful

cost for the intake is unknown yet if it works and you guys want one
this is for teh 2.5 only unless the intake for the 2.5 also fits the 3.2

 

is it a bad thing to make the intake out of steel?
