Pros:	Nice, deep rumble at 4000RPM's and up
Cons:	Nothing at all

It is a very good CAI, and I had no problems driving over puddles during the thunderstorms we just had a few days ago. Not that I drove over them on purpose, but occassionaly there were some I couldn't avoid and nothing at all happened to my car, perfectly fine. No CEL whatsoever.

Pros:	Nice Sound and Gains
Cons:	Install involves a lot of removing stock parts and cutting plastic that interfere with installation.

You get your money's worth. You really notice a difference in power. Nice sound when you reach the higher RPM's. Installed it during the winter and had no problems with water getting into the intake.

Pros:	Noticable gain and sounds great
Cons:	Parts missing (prob only my kit and wrong screws)

Install of this product was easy. Instruction may be too wordy. When I both the kit it was a 2nd gen, it was missing HID ballast bracket and screws are horribly off (longer/thread was too short on the intake). In addition the radiator adaptor plug is too tight to push in but a simple sanding works great. Overall, I'm giving this 8 out of 10 just coz parts are missing and the screws for the MAF. AEM didn't know 02 celica comes with HID but a simple phone call worked fine...

Pros:	Sounds great. Looks great too
Cons:	A CEL came on once, but fixed it and hasnt sense

I really like it! The blue looks awesome and it really makes it stand out in the engine bay. Only bad thing is that it threw me a CEL but I fixed it and I have not got one sense then. Dont expect much gains

Pros:	nice pull, awesome growl in lift
Cons:	fan shroud fitting had to be modified to fit

Install had a couple of snags MAF screws were a little long the problem was easy to solve with a pair of washers. The fan shroud fitting was a little to big for the hole so I had to shave it down with a dremel to make it fit. I love the intake no CEL's and the car really growls when your on the gas. I really recommend the intake.

Pros:	great sound
Cons:	pricey for a pipe

When you floor it, the intake roars esp in lift also. Bogs sometimes

can get an ebay intake(replica of aem gen 1 cai) for 1/4 the price and mod it a little for a no bog, free hesitaion intake.
