Cold air Intake? - Not a Joke or Noob question

For some reason the picture you posted just cleared up. Its the 2 blues.

 

Awesome... swinging by my local HD now 2 pick up the suggested parts... (1) brass 3/8 inch barrel and (2) small hose clamps.

 

Its easy. Just don't cut your hands on the rad. It's a tight fit there. You can re-use the crimp clamps but I prefer a good old hose clamp.

 

Bought the parts from HD... cost just under $6 - will post pix up later.

 

Of course, I want to test both versions out and actually dyno them both. I just don't know if I'll get them welded up before I get my DC header on. I'd like to dyno each mod to see what the difference actually is for each and then together. Going to talk to a welder today and also trying to get in contact with a skilled welder in LA and see what I can come up with.

 

...AAAAAAAnd it was CAT-Less After we heard back from ToyoTechWV and his experience with his exhaust..

Once I add the header, I'm seriously considering cutting off the 2nd Cat as well and welding in (2) 7" round Magnaflow mufflers as resonators and calling it good. There is enough room for 2 round mufflers there in the middle of the car vs having to have one in the back like OEM. Haven't decided if I'll dump the exhaust or route it back to the rear of the car and do something like this..


maybe more of this angle...just not chrome (blacked out).

Just not sticking out so far - more streamline..

or the norm..out the rear like the original..just blacked out tips.
Slant (blacked out)

Or Straight (blacked out)

 

Got one piece welded!!

 

when you get this stuff all done, you will have to drag race someone out there on the left coast to see how it goes. cool stuff you got goin', fo' sho'!

 

hi guys,

like to get a 90 degree reducer from ebay.
can i know, the prius throttle size is 2.25"? that why your are using 2.25" to 2" to connect to the 2" customized maf housing?

 

2004-2009 throttle body is 51mm or 2"

My "test fit Yaris MAF housing" was 2.25 - so i had to use a reducer. My new MAF housing I had CNC'd is 2" - no need for adapter.

 

Yes??

 

i custom order from kstech.biz for a 2" ID MAF housing after i read this thread. so excited so i was wondering why u chosen 2.25 reducer.

so based on my setting, i wouldneed a 90 degree 2"-2". is it correct?

 

$105 - Not bad! A bit more than I paid for mine.

The 2.25 reducer was for the original design I had made from a Yaris intake which is 2.25" to have it fit the 2" Prius throttle I needed the reducer. Since we both now have 2" MAF housings u just need a 2" coupler in whatever angle you need. If you want to place the MAF in the similar position I did, then yes a 2" silicone 90° coupler would be perfect. Then slap on a filter and enjoy!!

 

Yes! Finally shippment arrived!
Going to get either hks reload filter or apexi

 

Done the by pass coolant!
Excellent! Weather here 29-36c throughout the year, prolong journey sure can see the benefit!

 

Do I spy another JET performance MAF user?
