eBay intake for V6?

by **slickballer2000** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 7:49 pm

I'm still relatively a n00b when it comes to the Solara but I've been reading on the forums about intakes for the V6. Anyways, I was wondering if it's worth spending $40 for a SRI from eBay compared to the cP-E one which costs quite a bit. What do you guys think?

the 40$ intakes are just sound. there is no difference in Hp. its just like keeping your stock intake, just with added noise.

agreed, same thing was true with my gen 3 camry as well

its worthless.. this is why im not investing in an intake for my solara. just get a K&N drop in.. unless you want noise.

That wont help. The pipes too big for the sensor to get the right reading.

Youll get CEL sometime especially in really hot or cold weather. Other then that its just sound. Youll get maybe 1hp and I think a member on here claim awhile back it causes the car to lean out.

oh wells, i hope i dont get the CEL too often, i guess im in it for the sound. I already enjoy the power the car already has so im good. thanks.

POS FTMW!! Dude don't waste your money on a intake that wont do anything.
just get a drop in K&N dosn't do much either, unless you can save up for a injen

from my experience, it's just your luck

lara , i had charger, INJEN, not ebay, INJEN with extension, i got a CEL..

95 camry, ebay intake, NEVER had a CEL...

POS!!! I had an ebay intake until the filter head FELL OFF while I was driving causing the car to stall. Also, the tube is a half inch too big which means too much air for the sensor and the engine runs lean.

Dont waste your money on this. Save up for an injen or a CPE

Thank you all for your input. Does anyone know where I can find an injen one for cheap? I found one on eBay thats going for $185 + shipping.
