  1. CES CAI is made to fit the AUDM corolla with the 2ZZ. Comes with K&N filter and clears the fog light in the inner guard. CAI pipe is thermal coated to help reduce heat transfer as well. Dyno figures when tested yielded higher gains than TRD which showed slightly higher gains than Injen. Cannot remember figures as this was 8 years ago that I helped develop this CAI.

    Most of the other CAI's are not designed to fit our model Corolla's hence they are hard to fit and require some modifications to work successfully. The rubber elbow for the CAI - throttle body connection is industrial grade and wont split and crack like the TRD ones do.

  2. diameter is the issue as its metric and most of the bends you can get here are imperial. 2.5' is too small and 3' is too big. if you can get something close to 2.75' it may fit you need something that is soft and pliable otherwise it wont seal. 2.75' is not a common size most companies carry in stock. remember it has to be able to be somewhat oil, fuel and heat resistant.

  3. Your exits on the LHS due to the fact that the Australian models have a full size spare and the JDM models have a space saver. You have more room to go across the back of the car due to the shallower spare wheel well. Ours go over the torsion beam and exit straight on the rhs of the car as we have a bigger spare wheel well in the boot floor.

  4. When was the last oil and plug change? what filter is on the injen Cai? Is it clean?What are the specs of the catback system you have?? Far too many variables to blame any one thing but the fact that you are a lot slower and MPH is down indicates you arent making good power mid to top end which can mean either intake or exhaust side of things could be the issue as well.

  5. I wouldnt of wasted the money on a high flow cat as the standard one flows more than enough for a N/A sportivo. Spend the money on headers for performance gains and better drivability and low to mid range torque. Who did the cat back system on your car?

    I had 2003 Sportivo with TRD CAI, CES headers and cat back system and made 123Kw atw with 113 000k's on the clock. Things like the brand of oil you use etc etc will affect dyno output of the 2ZZGE. they are fussy engines!!

  6. I'm guessing your car is a Sportivo with 2ZZGE. 2.5" is what you need to make power and feel some gains. You will also need a centre resonator in the system as well or it will be unbearable to drive and drone like there is no tomorrow. For the money you want to spend you wont get a quality cat back system thats for sure. If you dont hit lift that often then my advice is get headers. CES Racing do headers which are stock items ported flowed and then HPC coated. Great improvement in drivability in the low to mid range. I'd do this first then add a cat back system later on if you want more of an increase in HP.

    Here's a link to the headers...

    All of their products have been dyno tested and have proven gains unlike some others out there who will just tell you there products work. Buyer beware as have seen waaay too many people been ripped off after being promised the earth so to speak and end up with a car that doesnt perform like it should.

    Cheers SB :)

  7. Have to agree with Neil on this one. It sounds like you have a car that hasnt had regular oil changes or has been using crap oil. Just before I sold mine I had the cam cover off as I had it polished and inspected everything for the sake of it and with 113 000ks on it the cams were perfect. I always ran Penrite semi synthetic oil from day one.
