Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Need help with CAI!

Well I finally got toyota to take my 2000 gts back, got in there and traded up to a 2004 gts loaded with action package, so im freakin happy bout that...the only dilemna i have now is can I install my cold air intake w/o cutting the splash guard in the fender well? anyone not cut it b4 and anyone have any other ideas on how to avoid this... o yea and the action package has a different opening for air inlet soooo help please!!! thanks.

I believe that you MUST cut it. Reason being is because if you somehow install it without cutting the fender splash plastics, you'll rub a hole in your intake tube with all the vibrations going on. I cut mine but didn't cut it all the way or something and it rubbed a hole into my injen cai. Injen owners make sure it doesn't rub against your plastics or else you might get a hole in it!

so does it run better than the 00?

yes this car is the shit, i was so dissappointed with my last car i was ready to shoot myself, luckily this deal came along when it did. Great car...thanks for the replies guys!!
