what is the best cold air intake for the celica gt on the market?

**Burrcold** · 04-09-2007, 09:13 PM

both Injen and AEM

**celi01** · 04-10-2007, 10:22 AM

do u know which specific intake will give out the most horsepower?

**Burrcold** · 04-10-2007, 11:23 AM

They honestly don't do that much on the GT. Makes it sound better and breathe a bit better, but as far as performance it is so subtle. Just go with whatever one you can get a better deal on.

wat do u think would be the best option for performance gain with 300 dollars, not just talking about air intakes, like a muffler, etc.

**Burrcold** · 04-10-2007, 03:28 PM

exhaust will give you about the same minimal gains as the CAI. Personally if I had only $300 to spend right now I would go with a short shifter kit (assuming you don't already have one). Changes the shift and driving feel of the car completely IMO. Of course you aren't going to be going any faster but it sure feels nicer.

ya i dont already have one i dont have anything, just a stock celica gt, only 17, didnt have enough money for a gts, but would like to start adding some stuff to it, just wondering what would be more worthwhile to get. i found this short shifter for 145 bucks

That kit is good, it's B&M. Others worth looking into are TWM and TRD. I would not go with any other brand then those.

**celi01** · 04-10-2007, 03:57 PM

obv i dont know that much about cars askin all these questions but what exactly does the short shifter do? just keep the shifts cleaner

IMO if you can shift fast/good (overall a good driver) a SS would be a waist of money. My friends GT has an injen CAI and you really don't feel much till he hits around 5K rpms, when the intake really starts to roar and the butt-dyno feels a small pull. I have a friend with an AEM aswell an that one seems to start pulling around 3-4Krmps. On my Celica (which i dont have anymore) i had the BLITZ SUS SRi and boy did that thing roar. Much better than the other both and i never had to worry about oiling the filter

i was reading some old posts and it said that the older aem CAI's had a lot of bogging and CEL's. is this one of the older ones i should stay away from?
