Sorry to revive such an old thread :p

I have a completely standard intake - how much noisier is it going to be if I remove this item and fill the hole up with something...?

My friends have Celica's and theirs are plugged with nice metal plates, is it easy to get one of these for ours?

@ Chemical, in the UK i believe they are all around 130bhp.. - well, the V6 ones anyway ;) but I wouldnt worry too much, each engine varies.. buying an MX-3, it wont be 130bhp.. or 128... or 135... only way to be sure is to get it Dyno'd, and even then thats a wheel power, not an engine power (tbh e...

Got Toyo T1-R's on mine, running at 28psi and I think they are really great :D

got a trackday on monday, will add ~5psi to them all, and if I can check after a few laps as the front-left gets the most abuse and will need dropping a tad, once its all warmed up a bit.
