is the intake for the vibe exactly the same as the one for the matrix??

Yep.

sweeeet. just making sure bcuz i know the 1zzfe is in the xr matrix and the corolla.

now can the xrs intake fit on the 1zzfe vibe??

im going to have to say no. specially if your 1zz is a 2005+ as they are dbw which need a special intake, ie. cosmo. there may be a way to mod the xrs for the old xr though.

according to K&N's website, yes. it's the same part number

nice. imma order an intake for the matrix xrs and try it on my vibe bcuz i found one for pretty cheap. well its got xr and xrs on the title. check it out and let me know. i know sometimes ebay sends the wrong couplers but im up for adjusting and modding.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

just ordered the intake. the pic of the intake is the exact same pipe style as the pic of the 1 from the vibe that i was bidding on. thats another thing i can add to my list of mods for my wife's vibe.

i hope thats not the intake they will send you because thats not the correct intakethe breather bung should be on the other side

well thats really not gunna matter bcuz imma plug it since imma try to install an electric supercharger for the hell of it. lol. i want to see what it can do. anywayz if you flip the intake to point the other way, it is the exact same thing as the vibe intake. i found that they are the same part # thanks to the other guys that helped me.

well a friend of mine got one and gave it to me for free. it looks stupid and funny but well if parts are gunn break off, i might as well get like a meshy type steal filter to make sure that nothing goes in the intake. to be completely honest, i just wanted to try it for 1 day because it looked kinda funny when my friend gave it to me.

no disrespect to you but there is a reason your friend gave it to you.. cuz he realized he is an idiot... and so are you if you put that POS on your car...

dude please don't put that supercharger on it, that will only be a waste of time. bluecrush had one, he was the unofficial genvibe guinea pig for little oddball parts. you'd get better gains with a ram air hood, AND it'll look better

yeah i know my friend gave it to me for that reason. well imma go toss it in the trash then. lol. i think it would work better there.

just gave the eupercharger away to another one of my car club members that really wanted it. the thing is he has a black K20A3 RSX dropped wit red rims so imma give him that mesh that i just bought. lol.

ahahaha,electric supercharger.You should have slapped it in for a laugh.I don't know about that intake,I would say it's real generic being able to fit the xr & xrs,it's best to stay within your year and model type,xr-base Vibe,xrs-GT.If you already bought it,I would buy a better filter for it,just my 2cents.

yeah i know the xr = base vibe and xrs = gt vibe although i didnt know if their was somethin diff about the vibe and the matrix on the mounting side. hehe i wanted to put it on for ****s and giggles but nah its not worth my time making a switch for it and everything else. you know what i mean?? lol. and yes you are correct about the filters. all i really wanted was just the intake pipe. i have a filter already for it. now i can do anything as long as i have that pipe.

i just got my intake in. as soon as it goes in, ill post some pix.

My CAI is from Spectre. It is a modular system so you buy the pieces to make it fit or check the booklet for your vehicle. The Vibe isn't in it but the Matrix is. I bought the mock-up kit also and I will post a picture of all the pieces needed for the Vibe. This system is available through Autozone, ORileys, etc. I am changing the color of it this year to either red annodized or gloss red.

Here is a look at all the components that are available for the system.
