Smile Got an Intake finally

Finally got an intake, it was for a V6 Solara and Camry
Its a no brander one of those ebay brands

Here Some Pictures





and heres 2 video







But i got a question for those who installed an intake on their 3ES, did u guys have an extra tubing that has no were to the intake(it was connected to the air box)?

It looks like this (I put a cap over it so it didn't get dirt inside)

My intake is from Weapon-R and it came with three nipples on the intake tube and three hoses. One of the OEM hoses is a small diameter and had to gerry rig it fit on the Weapon R intake tube. In total I have three hoses connected to my intake tube.

Super-easy, just mix any all purpose cleaner like simple green with water in a 1:15 ratio (1 part simple green, 15 parts water), heat up the engine till it's warm to the touch, spray an area and wipe down with a cloth/paper towel. Just don't get the alternator or the battery wet and you'll be perfectly fine, everything else can handle water.

Thank You BadViper22,but i thought i heard that you shouldnt clean your engine wen it was hot, o well since you have done it, then it should work.

Well, ideally you shouldn't when its piping hot, but that is not the nature of things, it is GOING to be warm at the least and that is fine.

You can take a pressure washer to the engine bay no problem.

Just get a plastic bag to cover the alternator/battery; and give'r.
