    I didn't think weapon r had a cai for our cars. If so it would be new. But the maf sensor line up will probaly be messed up like my dragon intake.

    there is no CAI offered by weapon-r, unless this is brand new information, as far as OBX CAI, dont order it b/c you wont get it-i already found out-OBX doesnt even make them anymore-the guy said that since that design isnt popular, OBX discontinued their CAI for corolla-kinda sux...El p is pretty much your only hope-thats if you can contact them! and i hear they are very expensive

    I have an El Prototypes CAI for the 98-00 (non vvti with map sensor) for sale.. It was their design from 2000... Works great.. I dont us it because I have the turbo now.

    It does not include the filter (because it was smashed up during the de-install in prep for the turbo)... But I will throw in the K&N Filter Charger cleaning kit. $100 + shipping.

    Email me at info@racingsolution.com with your zipcode if you want a shipping quote.

    For all those out there who want a 98-02 CAI, you're looking for them a little too late. I visited ELP last week and they don't have or make any more. I bought mine about 1-2 years ago and that was the last one. If enough people tell them, they might start it back up again.

    supposedly, they're working on the 98-02 corolla header, a celica GT-2 fabrication, and a couple other privately owned project cars. everything they do takes years to come out. They are really slacking off.

    Back by demand

    Hello all,

    Intakes are in stock once again. Price is the same. Give us a call, or email us (best way since we are short handed right now). Sorry the website is down, you can thank the hackers for that one.

    Headers, yes we are still working on it (98-02). 5 designs later and I think we got it. Again, sorry its not done yet. Were not lagging, it is just not at the top of the list. We made the 03 header and we have only sold 6 since it came out. Hope this wont be the case with the 98-02. We have a bunch of 03's laying around..group interests????????

    Someone in AZ really needs to take him up on that... You'd get a free custom built intake out of it.
