1995_ES300 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 i think injen makes one, really the only reputable company as far as the intakes are concerned for that year car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 injen is as reputable as daewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 And what about cold air or regular.. ← All ES's come from the factory with a cold air intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1995_ES300 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 yea, it is probably best to just stick a high flow panel filter in there. I believe the actual aftermarket intakes are just short-ram, probably not better than the stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 and so are you ← Excuse me? What are you trying to say with a comment like that 1995.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle0k Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 well i have a Weapon-R short ram intake. SKperformance hates it and says its *BLEEP* but i LOVE it. there is an increase in power, and SK cant say there isnt when i actually have it, and the sound it produces is amazing. go to the weapon r website and you can order it thee i believe, look for a lexus one but if it doesn thave it then the camry same year is the same.

SKperformance Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Remeber it is nothing personal Kyle i know the weapon r one is crap just by its short arm design , their never has been a design that breathes hot engine air that can creat more power ,It is impossible. i have made 5 designs of intakes for the ES including a short arm, yah at first it seemed better ,but only because the cars engine was cold still. Also the throttle response was improved due to the shorter air pipe. That is the one and only improvment to an engine with an shortarm intake. After makeing 4 more designs with a cold air system the results are definte and proved with a dyno. I know lots of people who had the same design and said they had way more power also then after carbon problems coming out thier asss decide to put back the stock box with out the water ballast and could not belive how much power they lost. You want to say you gained power get a dyno and prove it but i know you won;t be able to . Just as it says in every cars manual " drive carefully, even with active stability controls you cannot defeat the laws of physics" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0k Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 ok,i know we have different opinions. What do you mean by carbon problems... plus dont a few 100mph runs fix that anyways:) I love the sound though,and the new torque curve it creates and the better response. EVEN if i do lose up just a couple horses, with those advantages im willing to take that loss. What do you suggest?They dont sell CAI for the es300. i can get metal pipe and make a homemade CAI but the airflow wont be as good obviously with it, and plus ill need to buy a bypass valve, AND on top of that since the filter is foam it will belike *BLEEP* in the rain i think. I will prabably not gain any horses with the homemade CAI b\c liek i said its homemade ,and not professianlly like u did urse, but on top of that i would lose the better response.

kyle0k Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 also u said that hole that is there from the outside is lik blowing cold air at a hot turkey in the oven with a straw,well guess what the regular filter was trying to power the whole engine through that straw. So i cant see how the fact that the engines load is much less trying to get the sme amount of air compared to breathing hotter air can even be compared. again maybe im wrong,just tell me what im saying wrong..

Why do you ask for advice, when you won't accept it? Driving around with a WeaponR at best is just plain ricer stuff. Put your stock intake back on, reset the ECU, and keep your foot off the floorboards. Listening to that "wonderful sound" and excercising that great imaginary torque and HP is pouring gas out your tailpipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0k Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 hey bartkat, its not "ricer" b\c 1. i dont say it makes my caar super fast 2. youy cant hear the sound except for really jstu in the cabin or maybe 2 feet away from the car when gas is given. I fu noticed my other thread i asked for advice and i got advice and im working on it as u can see, but obviously when i put it the weapon R my MPG IMPROVED for about 2 months and just recently has my MPG been going bad,but ichanged the filter so its not that. So obviously the intake is not the problem,so stop giving bad advice. Atleast SK is jsut giving his opinion and backing it up, and not just flaming.

steviej Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Tempers are starting to flair up and in several posts there have been rude derogatory comments made. Either you boys learn to play nice and discuss this subject on a mature level or I close the thread. signed, The Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Agreed keep it civil. Just changign the filter element or cleaning it will not chaneg the properties of the intake. The best and cheapest it to use the ctock airbox with a K&N filter( not much if any gain) but by removing the big plastic water/sound ballast it will improve the volume efficency with a reduced intake temp from the short arm. But seriously i know after reading your other post you are going to need a motorvac to remove the deposits left from the short arm . As well as removing the arm intake if you want to keep the carbon build up from reappearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0k Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 i dont undersstand what short ram has to do with carbon deposits. But im not saying ure not right. I thought a couple 100mph runs would remove carbon buildup too.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1995_ES300 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 well sk, i would never intentionally ask your opinion for anything...seems to me you just blurt out whatever.

kyle0k Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 hey 1995 es300, SK is one of the most reputable members on this board,we mightdisagree on a topic or two but he helps with everyones problems so !Removed!! But refering back to the question, pretty much you can get a short ram intake and risk the lose of a little bit of power but the gain of mpg and a throutier sound, or you can make your own cold air intake. Otherwise another comprimise is to drill holes in the bottom of the plastic box of your filter,that should help alot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviej Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 ..... so !Removed!! ← Between the calling members stupid and this !Removed!. THAT DID IT!!!
