ok i just read it but i am wondering is there any cold air intake i can buy and not have custom made that will do a decent job??

Injen is your best bet. Insalled one on my Gf's Tiburon. AEM has a tendancy to rust internally for some reason which is very odd.

lol

you got me pinned kyle.

do it the easy and cheap way

remove the water ballast under the air filter chamber and use a K&N drop in.

btw 1995

aluminum doesn't rust and that is what the AEM is made of.

So putting 2+2 together does not equal 4 with that statment

unless it was some knock off that the guy bought, I have no idea. I didnt believe him either untill I saw the inner surface. It was either that or maybe the intake was sucking up some rust from somewhere?

[SKperformance]

might be sucking up something

or it w3as excess oil from a badly oild filter?

not too sure, it was just odd. The only thing that i could of since it may have not been rust (if in fact it was a true AEM) is, yes, a filter that was excessivly oiled. the oil then dried in the wall of the tube and started to flake off?

ok i ordered that intake and i was wondering if ,once i get it installed,have to use a different kind of gas or anything

[kyle0k]

[lexusmonkey]

I found a cold air ,AEM, intake that fits 96 camry and people said it would fit my car

[SKperformance]

if it fits a 96 camry it will fit your 96 ES

and yes you HAVE to use premium gas
