Everyone feels things differently. This does not necessarily mean that what one person says is applicable to you. I can say a roller-coaster feels boring and slow, yet someone else can say it was exhi

So what did you do about the large hose for the PCV that connects to the intake? Better still, how about a photo?

I would very much like to see a photo of it installed in your engine bay. Pictures are better than words as they say

Well I'll be damned. Seems like rotating the intake 90 degrees is the way to go with it. You already had a catch can though to make it easier to plumb the PCV hose back into the intake. Two questions though:

1) That nearly looks like the intake is putting tension on the silicone reducer (as in bending it slightly). Is that the case?

2) How much clearance is there around the heatshield where the intake goes through it?

No the catch can was installed at the same time as I knew that the PCV hose was going to be an issue. Still waiting for my red vacuum hoses to arrive to make that part look better as it looks cheap atm. The hardest part of all of this was mounting that bugger as that 6mm bolt did not want to house. Ended up having to remove the heatshield to get my hand in there.

1 - From what I can tell there is minimal if any stress on the reducer at this point. There was alot of position changes in this process and this was the best position I could find.

2 - I am not sure about this as I am back at work. When I get home later on I will take a photo from above and get the tape measure out for you.

On the up side the car sounds insane. I am very impressed with the note it has now and it managed to turn quite a few heads yesterday when I took it for a spin.

One down side is the exhaust is too loud when you are using the manual gears so you can hardly hear the sucking from inside the car.

All in all I am pleased :)

Took about an hour to install. Follow the supplied instructions and you can't go wrong. The sound when you drop it back a couple of gears and boot it is addictive. Interestingly my fuel economy didn't go up.

would be good if i can see how much fuel it burn after install but my meters is not working after i install the kendwood 2din headunit lol i still want to get it work but i have to get those chip thing to program it cost like 50-70 to buy it get them from USA

The intake alone will no affect your fuel consumption on a measurable level for the better or worse. Your fuel economy post-install will come down to how you choose to drive afterwards.

Also, you can get your dash display to work with an aftermarket head unit without the need to use an aftermarket "chip" or module. You can find information on this by searching the forum.

I know this may seem a silly question but i am quite a noob when it comes to mechanical ANYTHING on a car outside of basic DIY servicing. BUT, the question, nonetheless, Do you get the nice sound from just installing a K&N Typhoon or is it in lieu of an upgraded exhaust also?

The sound from the sportivo IMO i've always thought would be nice and grunty if upgraded properly... but like i said, very new to this.

get the intake, very easy to install and sounds great.

So i can get the nice sound without having to install an exhaust system? (which i intend to do in the future anyway) But if theres a cheaper easier option in the meanwhile, i'll take it...

Intake produces more noise in the engine bay, although it affects the exhaust, but the exhaust is where you seem you want the noise from. So get em both. :)

It is the easiest mod that will turn heads. Matching an exhaust is still a very difficult.

Yeah just installed mine (: the best mod (;

Even on a stock exhaust it growls beautifully!

On sharp acceleration you get that sucking noise that I love!! Cruising around its got a slight whine but still sleeper, and then you kick the firewall and a roaring cacophony of V6 delishesness enters your ears :D would recommend!!! So easy to install! Just don't forget to plug in the mass air sensor or its bloody hard to start and won't exceed 80kph or 3rd gear

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
