okay, so i've had my yaris for what? almost 2 months now? and only mods i did were interior lights and nice dent from shopping cart.....

that was, untill the other day, decided to check out my intake system. and yes, i did it, i upgraded my intake for free!! lol. it fixed almost all complaints anyone has had about this car:
the car is a little louder at lower RPM's,
its deeper soundingat any RPM,
smoother idle (less idle searching),
HP gain (how much i have no idea but you can feel it especailly in the lower RPM range),
EVEN BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY!!
its alot more difficult to bounce the car between shifts,
engine breaking is a bit better (nothing significant),
RPMs drop faster once the throtle is released
easier to coast in first at low speeds and RPM
REVERSE IS A DREAM NOW!! (still grinds...nothing fixed there, but its smoother)

i do realize jsut about everything i listed is due to a boost in HP but seeing as i don't have a dino i cant test it....

so anyways, i will describe what i did, i also took pics of the process. i really jsut want to note it cost me nothing because i had an extra yaris stock air box so if anyone has a reason as to y this is bad for my yaris i can pop mine back in..... please wait and see what ppl say about it before doing it yourself

anyways, what i did is simple, almost brain dead simple..... i took my airbox cover off, inside there is a white filter that is attatched to the housing..... drill out the melted parts (mine had 6 melted circles) rip it out and remove the pipe from the bottom of the air box and there u have it.... lol. been thinking of drilling the hole bigger at the bottom but haven't decided yet.....

my main question is what in the world did i jsut take out? lol, my car (300km since mod) has been running great with no engine lights or anything.... any thoughts? my conclusion was (seeing as its filled with rubber chunks) that it will stop a back fire from messing up my air filter....

so far i love it!! mind you, i do plan on getting a proper intake for summer
