Default Aem Cold Air Intake

OK I am posting this again for those that keep asking if they are available.

1.) YES, AEM does manufacture a cold air intake for certain Toyota/Lexus Engines.
2.) NO, Most internet companies will not sell you one if they know you are buying if for a lexus not a toyota engine
3.) YES, You might have to tell them you own a camry (GASP!)
4.) YES. It is very very worth it.





ENJOY! if you do have questions just email me or post them here. and btw the install went really easy. The HP is awesome( esp with 93 octane fuel) and I would recommend it for anyone that lives in high altitude or thin air climates.

That intake is only applicable to 94-96 1MZ-FE V6 Camry/ES300's as well as the 95-96 Avalon. It will not work with 97 and newer 1MZ-FE V6's due to the MAF design.

I would get one but I'm scared of water getting in, it rains alot on Guam and I have to drive in a couple of "roads turned into rivers" sometimes.

So you can run with a CEL all day long. Not worth it.

Disabling your EGR is not going to free up power fyi.

it will slightly. every bit helps. dumping 200degree + temps into your intake no way helps performance

But unless you're boosting a 7M, 2JZ or etc, that's not a concern with your N/A setup.
