Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Cold Air Intake

I have a new AEM Cold air intake for my celica GTS
When i tried to let the profesional shop install it for me, it cant fit, so they need to cut something off of my car to make it fit.

Did you guy cut anything off in order for it to fit?
AEm cai was make for my car, but for some reason it would not fit.

is he talking about the inner fender well? cause that has to be cut to clear on all the intakes, its just a little piece of plastic

Cant he just do it himself then?

^ Yeah, but most people are either too lazy or don't feel comfortable enough to install it themselves. The AEM will fit, you just have to cut a hole in the inner fender for the filter to slide through.

yeah, the shop may not have wanted to do it without your consent, or maybe they didn't want the liability.

Hey, where are you from in WA? I got my AEM CAI professionally installed at pure performance innovation in burien. They told me they didnt have to cut anything to make it fit.

^^^ unless ur the previous owner of your car got a CAI b4 you then you don't have to cut anything..but if it did have it b4 then you HAVE to cut the plastic bro..i had to do it on mine when i install my cai..don't hurt nothing though..i dun understand y you guy would take it to the shop when you can do it urself..save you like 50bucks or more...oh well..watevr work for ya..

sweet, ty guys this help.
yeah they told me the only way it fit is to cut the fender thing out.
