I have decided to invest some time in installing a cool air induction kit to my 91 AE92 corolla with a FWD 4-AFE engine.. ive been reading a bit on the net and ask people at various shops on the gold coast and brisbane and have mxied stories about which is the better way to do. Here are the two i have discovered:
1: Leave Original Air Box and filter connecting to the engine. cut 3inch hole in bottom of air box and run flexible 3inch hose to the free area behind the front bumper.
2: Remove air box from 4-AFE engine and construct pipe (stiff or flexible) leading to free space behind bumper with pod style filter attached to the end of the pipe.. so the actual filter is behind the bumper.
Which of these methods would work better for power, looks, and of course price.
If someone could post me a message of Msn Or ICQ i would be most greatful as i sometimes forget to look at these forums.

Hi and welcome!
I've done #1 to my AE102 7A-FE and also did #2 to an EG5 ('92 Honda Civic Si)..dodgy style with lots of duct taping 
For my setup I also increased the size of the intake piping from the top of the airbox to the throttle body, tapering from 80mm back down to 60mm or so. I also put a big scoop from the bumper going into the bottom of the airbox. Oh and I also put a few little holes in the bottom of the airbox.
The #1 setup on my car has had better gains than the civic. Also, when it's cold outside you can REALLY tell a big difference.
I think the AE92 4A-FE and AE102 7A-FE setups can't be all that different. I'll email you the details and results (yes very subjective) soon.
I just found this link which is the PROPER way to do #2 (ie not w/ old pipes and duct tape like I did).
