ok guys, im allover ebay lookin for a CAI for my 99 tl.
i want to know a couple of things about them.
What model years will work for my 99? eg. will the 00,01,02,03 CAIS fit my 99?
will i be able to get a cheap CAI and a good filter and boost performance?
and what are gthe brands that increase the most power?m JDM? injen? nuespeed? AEM? or does it truly matter?

thanks again for answering the redundant thread, i just cant find all the info

 

You are gonna get a lot off ppl that say, "its just a pipe, get a cheap intake and a good filter and its the same thing". Its not. Go with Injen. Great fitment and durability, (some ppl with AEM have had problems with the vibramount tearing a hole in the tube due to bad motor mounts) and great performance gains. You won't be dissapointed.

 

Honestly you should use the search button. This has been discussed on this forum since 00. All cai's from 99-03 that are for the TL-P will work. Remember you get what you pay for. Stick with AEM, AEM V2<-- Preferred by most, Injen Or the best comptech.

 

thank you guys so much, as for the moderator, for some reason the search function doesnt work for me when im in the performance section, im using opera on windows media center

 

what doesnt work about it?

 

well it says that i am only allowed to do one search every 60 seconds when in fact it is my first search.

 

are you hitting the search button more than once in 60 seconds? I just tried it in opera and it worked for me.

Fill in the keyword, then select the area you want to search in (ie 2nd gen performance Parts and Mod, photo gallery ETC.. Then hit search ( once you get more advanced you can narrow the searches down even more by member sorting orders etc..

Oh and Firefox is a much better browser IMO

 

yea, it works for me now, it was probably because i would hit ENTER then click Go, so it was a user Error, my bad for the redundant post. firefox is good but i dont liek having to download plug-ins for everything, opera comes with all i need. thanks for the help

 

DO NOT GET AN EBAY INTAKE. I did n regreated it the bracket broke and it just was rattling around. Got my self an AEM CAI and saw the piping size was a little bigger and also it was more insulated too. I did also notice a little bit of difference in performance and sound too. Trust me stick with AEM or INJEN dont go with that ebay crap

 

Injen/Firefox FTW!

unless of course, im on my Windows Mobile phone... then its IE...

 

ntype: i unfortunately already ordered the intake, im planning on modifying it though, so most likely we wont have the same problem ::hopefully:: thanks though

2k3: YOU HAVE A WINDOWS MOBILE PHONE?!?!?! im sorry dude, blackberry FTW haha

 

blackberry FTL!

its either too flimsy (pearl) or too bulky (other blackberrys), and lately they've started to become trendy.

i think blackberry is overrated

 

I have warned several people about this problem, and all I got was "all intakes are the same, its just a pipe. Get a good filter and you are set." I told you guys Don't be cheap, do it right the first time...

 

amen to that

Injen FTW!

 

lmao i have a homeade intake...bought some 3" aluminum pipe from a performance shop and put it togther myself...i ahve no problems but as always if u have the money then get the AEM or Injen

 

Any pics?

 

yea, i wanna see pics, but i cant afford a good CAI, so im going cheap, sorry guys!

 

Keep the stock airbox somewhere just in case.

 

INJEN!!! FTW!

 

LOL.
My buddy did the same thing on his camaro.
His intake is Home depot brand.
hey, it works.

 

but, as always... if you want quality, you gotta spend some dough.

hence Injen FTW!

 

 

ill post pics this evening

 

you know what doesnt work about the search function, the stupid 60 second waiting time >.>

 

get a good intake for a nice car.
