Excellent, I have the same Air intake. Only problem is that like the other comment said, it's not good to drive in flooded area. Only mod that's left maybe is the Borla S type exhaust.
Hey Brandon, I live in a snowy area, do you think I should be worried about the potential of the engine hydro locking? Got the same intake, I'm thinking about ways to protect the filter from the snow. Let me know if you got some ideas!
I live in Florida and it rains a bunch with lots of puddles. And I haven’t had any problems yet. But they do sell a hydro shield. That you can put over the filter to help prevent water to get in. If you want some extra protection
Bad idea , Myself you can get the same HP with a K&N filter , Not only that keeping the heat out of the intake in your case not only will your air filter suck up moisture in the rain if you hit a puddle you wetting it cause that splash guard is not solid water proof
I was going to be putting a Hydrosheild on air filterto keep the water out. And before I installed the cold air intake I had a K&N filter with the stock air box. I would honestly say it’s more for sound than anything.
Any noticeable power gain from this intake? Throttle response? I've seen the video from mighty car mods guys on cold air intake install and they showed on the dyno that there was no HP gain at all so wondering. Im going to install the Pedal Commander in mine, supposed to make a big difference.
Honestly I want to say I felt a small increase on the low end of acceleration! But it could just be a placebo affect! 😂 And as for the pedal commander, I had one in my Camry, and I wouldn’t say it worth the $300. All it does it make your pedal more or less sensitive when you press on it! I think it’s something cool to have, just not for $300.
@@BrandonStellmach when replacing a stock air intake to a cold air intake would it cause any damage or check engine and would I have to buy anything else to reach full performance I have a full stock Corolla that I wanna mod and not just put money into it so there could be problem
@@Liberamos05 this will not cause any damage to the car, also no check engine light either. And these are designed to work with the stock tune. So you will be all good! I have had mine on for over a year with no problems!
Yeah you are going to need to, because there are some bolts you need to get to, so you can take off the old intake brackets. I wouldn’t be scared to take the bumper off, because it’s really easy to take off and put on. I show how to take it off in the video!
@@BrandonStellmach Ok, I'll check the newer ones. Thanks. Do you recommend cold air intake for the IS250 or even the Corolla? Which one should be better, the Injen or the RR Racing or another one? Thanks
I’m not sure what it is, I believe it might be for the Japanese version of the car. And they just leave it there. But nothing was hooked up to it, that’s why I just took it out.
I think it’s because for the European version of the car. Them being on the opposite side of the car, there washer fluid needs to get moved from the left to the right side. And when they make the American car they just leave the extra part in there and don’t bother removing it.
I didn’t rub anywhere. But when I lowered my car on coil overs. I Had to watch out for the back wheels rubbing the inside of the wheel well. But if you are on stock suspension than you don’t need to worry about it.
I’ve been trying to order on for my 2010 Corolla. I order from two different places so far and they took my money and then days later they they don’t have and that they can’t do it
I ordered mine from eBay, and I didn’t have any problems with it. Sorry to hear that you keep having problems. eBay is good at refunding you if there is problems!
I know this vid is old but does that reservoir need to be placed back on or no. What is it for and do you need it for car to run, I’ve tried googling but nothing helps I’m sorry for wasting your time
That other reservoir is for the intake system, it is there to help muffle the sound of the stock intake. You do not need it to make the car run. Only would be needed if you have the stock intake. When I first did this as well and had no idea. I hope this helps!
It’s the best way to get it out of the engine bay, without having to do any modifying to the car, and they also sell a short ram intake, which keeps the filter higher up and easier to get to, it just doesn’t get as much cold air. But one of the down sides of having the filter so low is I have to watch out for driving into big puddles!
Definitely do not want to drive though any puddles! But I have had this on for over a year and I live in Florida where it rains a lot. And I have had no problems with it so far!

Had my Injen CAI for 2 years. Still going strong 💪
I’m probably getting close to 2 years and haven’t had any problems with mine! And I love the sound from it too!
Wow really love what you doing on your Toyota Altiz 2008......i hope my altis same as your toyota altiz ....
Thank you!
And your corolla can be the same! Just got to do all the things I did to my corolla!
That’s really cool man. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video!

If you are asking about the hydro shield, they should sell something for the 2019 corollas to go over the filter.
Very cool. Any thoughts now that you have it for 4 months?
It is a nice intake. It sounds good. And maybe a little power gain. But I don’t think it’s worth the almost $300 price tag.

Has that cold intake caused any engine damage? How many miles have you driven it since you installed it?
I have had the intake on for over a year with probably more than 15,000 miles so far! And I have had no problems with it!

Do I have to take the bumper off for this install

Did you need to tune the car after installing the cold air intake?? I'm planning on buying the same exact one, i have a 2010 Corolla model S
This does not need a tune, this will work right out of the box!
@@BrandonStellmach awesome thank you so much !
Must be a pain to chanhe those air filter huh?
It’s not as easy as stock, but the bumper on this car is pretty easy to take off, so maybe a 10-15 minute job, instead of a 1-2 minute job.
How come you didn't show the result when finished?
These were some of my old videos! I wander as detailed as I am now!
@@BrandonStellmach Ok, I'll check the newer ones. Thanks.

Which one should be better, the Injen or the RR Racing or another one? Thanks
@@Marcoshary I would say they all preform about the same, I have only had experience with Injen and HPS. And they were both good quality.
What kind of reservoir under left fender? The washer tank is under right fender. Please explain purpose of it.
I’m not sure what it is, I believe it might be for the Japanese version of the car. And they just leave it there. But nothing was hooked up to it, that’s why I just took it out.

What coils overs did u use for your car I’m looking for a set as well
I have Rev9 coil overs.
Hey what are your rim an tire specs?
They are niche m117 Misano 18x8.5 with Nankang 225 40 18
@@BrandonStellmach Thanks!
@@BrandonStellmach Hey by the way, did you need to roll ur fenders? do you rub? Im looking to get the same specs (different rim)
I didn’t rub anywhere. But when I lowered my car on coil overs. I Had to watch out for the back wheels rubbing the inside of the wheel well. But if you are on stock suspension than you don’t need to worry about it.

Does it make difference in sound ? I have a 2012 Corolla LE getting the injen tho but does it make a difference in sound once installed?
Yeah you can hear a sound difference, much deeper tone.
Did you get a check ingen light on after install it ???
No, there was no check engine light! 👍
Check injen* light
Bad spot for air filter...should have been a straight run front

Don't drive through no puddles now lol

If only it was carb legal 😔
Yeah that’s the biggest problem with all these intakes, none of them are carb legal.
