I installed the MST v2 CAI last night and it was a nightmare

[Benjilis]

The inlet was the easy part. But everything after was poorly designed.

I went off the listed instructions and they were very poorly made.

if anyone is installing this, screenshot these notes.

1. don’t tighten the lower ring to the inlet until you feed the top pipe into the heat shield
2. All rubber pieces that held the original intake can stay in
3. Install the sensor at the very very end
4. The ring to tighten the cone is barely big enough for the cone itself. If it’s not super tight, the cone just slides off
5. The rubber seal around heat shield and the intake cover are too long and need to be trimmed.
I had to trim the heat shield portion as the rubbers meet and overlay and cover up the screw meeting points

This was a POS to do yourself. But now I know what the instructions and YouTube videos missed / edited out and I am free to assist anyone in the STL area

I had no issues at all. Maybe you got a bad one. The rubber grommets definitely need to be reinstalled as per the Toyota service manual.

I had no problems installing the v2. Fitment was perfect.

I installed the V2 and didn't have problems either.

I used a youtube video to give me some tips and just followed that. Took me maybe 45 minutes total

I am not sure what you expect from a cheap intake made in Taiwan? Lol

I think the MST is one of the easiest intakes to do. I have limited experience with a wide range of cars,but this 21 Supra intake was easier to swap than my 2000 civic! This car is super easy in general, everything is accessible. Sucks you had problems but at least you got it in there.

I had no issues installing my MST v2. Took me one hour in my driveway.

hmm yeah I echo what others have said. I didn't have much of an issue installing this.
