Air Box Failure-Damaged + Poll

Please tell me,

First, does anyone ever see that type of damage? Second: What I should do, Buy a air intake kit? Buy a used one?



Look at this too and tell me what you think... its a intake tube...

never seen that happen before. You could probably fix it with some epoxy or you could just buy a cold air intake. I have the afe stage 2 it works great and looks really nice.

 

If you decide to go with a stock intake to replace that one, let me know. I'd be willing to part with my old one cheap and it only has about 7 or 8k on it.

*edit* I'm not sure if mine will fit a 2003 but it if it does, the offer is there.

 

definitly wont fit unless you use alot of imagination and duck tape

 

Thanks a lot guys... I'll keep you in touch!!

 

I've got an extra roll of duct tape that can be shipped as well ....

 

Today, I bought a used air box for 40$. I just start removing the MAF and realized it was tight fit and wont come out... Arrghh...

So, I remember that I had my old CAI from my 04 Corolla... Same MAF.
A couple of hour of work and "Fitting" later, here's the result;

Before:


After:




Really satisfy about the result... A little throaty sound come out in high ends..Really nice!!

 

duct tape

 

if all you replaced was the tube, how are you getting a deeper sound? Wouldn't the sound only change if you increase the amount of air coming in at the filter?

 

I think cold air intake kit move the Maf emplacement too...I don't think it can damaged anything...???

 

No, I think the aluminum tube create the sound... because it does...
