DIY high-flow intake for $43.00 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Wow, these aren't the reply's I was expecting.

For me, money is tight right now, or already allocated towards buying a new house. Car mods are far down the list, and this mod is virtually free if you have the hole bit for your drill. An aftermarket intake is on the list for me later on, and I am definetly watching chino's for results. If I can get an intake from an American for cheaper, then I will definetly buy it. I know I bought a non american car, but for the money it was the best deal. If Chino's intake works out that way, then it will be the one I buy. Until then, free mods like this are the way for me.

As for Chino's mod being a quick hack job, it may or may not have been, but at least is trying to mass produce it, not to mention help others by offering it cheaper. From the prototype pics I just saw, looks like it is coming along nicely.

Doc Zaius: The tuner tube is tube that feeds air into the airbox. When you open your hood, it will be the piece of plastic connected to the left hand side of the air filter box. This is the tube you want to remove. The holes I drilled into the air filter box where on the right hand side, and in the bottom half (the half that is bolted down). The mod probably takes 10 - 15 minutes to do, and to me is worth it. Try it out, and if you need help, send me a PM.
