Keaole Bradenton Florida, US Detailer	I'm considering a K & N CAI or injen CAI. I looked at the TRD CAI from scion and it just doesn't look appealing. I know that intake is covered under warranty. My "Stupid" question is... would it void my warranty if I decided to go for a K&N or Injen CAI instead?

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	Wait. Haha, I don't think it would void the warranty.

krdshrk New Brunswick New Jersey, US Godlike Advisor	It will not void the warranty if it did not directly cause the problem. IE: If you have a CAI and your stereo stops working... how would they call it a problem caused by the CAI?

Keaole Bradenton Florida, US Detailer	wow thanks guys, that makes my decision a definite then. Rather spend my money on something I want.

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	To continue answering your question, by simply installing the intake, your warranty will not be voided. However if your intake causes you to hydrolock (fat chance) then its likely your warranty will be voided. But don't let that scare you man. Most bolt on mods are pretty safe and your warranty is will be just fine.

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	^ Thats what we are here for. I hope we didn't scare you out of getting an intake. Dude, they are safe and it wont void your warranty. (Welcome by the way!)

Keaole Bradenton Florida, US Detailer	Lol naw you didn't. I'm definately looking into K&N or Injen. Just gotta figure which would be better on price and performance.

Keaole Bradenton Florida, US Detailer	oh and one more question, where should I order it from? I'm looking at a injen CAI on ebay for $285

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	Intakes will give you the same performance, there is no difference, haha. Check this out for proof: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=92108 And $285 for Injen intake is a ripoff! I got mine for $240 shipped from www.hopupracing.com. But PM our site sponser, carcandy, and see if he can hook you up with a better price.
