What are your goals for this car?

Weapon R makes some great looking manifolds, but I don't see anything on their site for the 1zz-fe. The plastic intake manifold on this car is really efficient and affective... as long as the intake manifold gasket is intact (which is prone to failure)

I don't think you mean an intake manifold...The intake manifold is different than your air intake (air filter box, hose, etc.).

That said, the Weapon R cold air intakes and short ram intakes are stupidly expensive. Buy one from cosmoracing.com. Affordable, and they work.

Also make sure you install the intake properly. An improperly installed intake will likely throw a check engine light for some form of vacuum leak.
