Toyota Celica K&N Air Filter

Finally! I ordered this beauty about half a year ago, just got delivered and I have installed it with some help of my good friend Marvin. Installing wasn't hard and isn't specifically a two-man job but it helps to have an extra pair of hands. Especially if those hands possess a great deal of strength to undo and redo nuts and bolts.
Engine before
We also replaced the distributor cap and rotor as the old ones were getting worn. After all bits and bobs were installed we reset the air-fuel ratio. Click here to see how to do that on a 6th generation Toyota Celica.
Engine after
Update February 1, 2009:
I've been driving with this set-up for a few weeks now, had short, medium and long trips which gives a good overall impression. Gain in horsepower are minimal if there are any, but the sound is very nice. Even if it sound like Darth Vader with SARS on a cold morning. Throttle response has improved a little, although not every driver would notice the difference. In my opinion worth the money, especially if you plan to upgrade other engine parts (like exhaust, ignition etc.).
