my air intake hose is torn and the oem one is about 70 dollars, a few of my friends (the integra and civic kids) have suggested i might as well replace it with an aftermarket "cold air intake", i did some research on the issue and found some pros and cons, along with some performance misinformation to the CAI, my engine has 200,000+ miles so its out of warranty and probably dirty by now
usually people on hear have great advice, and i could use some from other celica owners
is the CAI a good alternative? (though i understand its not all people make it out to be)
should i do it?
i did a ram air intake cause mine fell apart too
its too noisy IMO. hisses at idle and loud on accel. and its a slow 7a haha so its kinda ricey IMO.

Just do a SRI. There's really no difference in power gains between a SRI and a CAI on a 7A, after all...

Go by this, get some tubing and make your own intake and when you can make a box like what rusty has shown in the link. its really the best option
