All right the first intake Cosmo Racing sent me was all wrong. Nothing fit, it turns out (according to Cosmo Racing) it only fits the 97 and 98 model years. I ended up sending the intake back and they in turn sent me a custom pipe for my 99.
The increased throttle response and HP can definitely be felt. Maybe a 5 to 10HP increase, but that is just a guess on my part. All I can say is that I am extremely pleased with the intake. Moreover, you cannot forget about the sound... much improved over stock.

Haven't done much to the ES lately since the tanabes and Kyb and wanted to bring this OLD OLD thread back by Pheonix regarding the Custom CAI he devised for us 1MZ owners. Any other members here performed this mod? looking for some feedback or anyone else looking to perform this Mod in the near future. Anyone game?

In the last picture from the original post in this thread you can see that one of the original hoses is not attached to the new intake (PCV if I'm not mistaken) you can see the nipple protruding from the forward-most valve cover. It is evident that Phoenix has some other mods as well. so I can't speak for his setup, but wouldn't it be beneficial to drill another barb into the bottom of the AFM to route this hose to? I was under the impression that hose was to recirculate combustion gases from the crankcase, thus improving mileage. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

as cool and simple this intake build is, it will absolutely destroy the low end torque.
my setup is a 2 feet long aluminum pipe with 3 ports welded on top. one for valve cover breather, another for idle air valve, and the third for the PS idle up. drilling on the AFM is not really a good idea tbh.

Sorry for dead thread revival but has anyone tried a K&N Apollo?

I have a 2000 es300 and was thinking of ordering one.
Seems to me like of all the "cold air intakes" it's the most likely to actually intake cold air... and even if it doesn't it sounds cool haha. I would like my car to make SOME noise at all instead of being dead silent so this would be perfect for me.

Hey I love the post, been looking for an intake for a long time, unfortunatly there are none made, so I wound up putting a k&n in the stock intake box and drilled a bunch of holes in it, very ghetto, but desperate, and it does actually sound kinda cool. I would however like to try your type of intake, only prob is mine is a 99 and a lot different. Just woundering if u knew nething about the 99's.....coming off the intake are dual pipes going into a box, then into a single pipe where the mass air flow sensor is, then to the intake box...

This will give you a part number and everything. I'm seriously considering getting the K&N Apollo and doing a write up for it...
