Avoid going for a short ram intake, like the one in the photo you posted. They suck in hot air from the engine bay and hinder your performance. However, on the other hand they tend to increase your fuel mileage slightly. If you're after a slight performance increase then opt for a cold air intake. You can't buy cold air intakes for the 7th Gen Corollas as nobody makes them, but they're very easy to make yourself. There's a great DIY on Toyota Nation which shows you how to do it, step by step. I've got one on my own Corolla and I'd never go back to a short ram again. Since you're wanting to go with a blue theme for your engine bay, you could just use blue silicone joiners for your intake pipes

if your going to do a cold air intake use the celica intake(the one that has the 4afe/7afe), but its easy to suck in water with that one. The way i did my cai, i just used extra pipes i had sitting around and made it curve around the batter right behind the corner light.I think one of the honda accord from like 95 around those years had piping that reaches towards that way, don't waste your money on an expensive intake, its not neccesary for a 4afe/7afe, and like kiwi said, just use blue couplings, you won't even be able to see the intake

I actually found your DIY after I made mine. So I basically just started cutting the pipes and hoped for the best, haha. Turned out well in the end
