celica 91 ST 1.6L COLD AIR vs SHORT RAM

[Dackner]

which is better for my celica 91 st 1.6l. I want fast acceleration between cars I heard the CAI is better for acceleration and also not too damaging on fuel.

also can anyone recommend something for exhaust system?
I want to get a new exhaust system (everything: pipes,mufflers, headers)

On a st I wouldn't bother

i agree with subspec though. any of those mods wouldn't do anything for hp on an st especially an intake. I've had many friends who mod their intakes on their st and it doesn't give any results except sound. unless you can do it dirt cheap like i did go ahead. I would save your money and either swap an engine in or buy a new car.

Short ram you get heat-soak from the engine so I would go with a cold air intake and expect minimal gains of any at all.

the 1.6 is the most economical celica model out there, if you're worried about gas, maybe you shouldn't invest in a faster car..

I vote for a GT or GTS I got a short ram off eBay for 27.00

i bought a 93 celica st model fully stock it was slow..
but i put in a short ram intake which later i added more piping
and then threw in a short shifter and took off my cat and welded a pipe a lot faster then when i got it..
