[AztecTQ50]

Honda

[carl4goz98]

Does anybody knows when the filter needs to be replaced ?? Till how many miles does it need attention ?

[RogueTOPGUNS]

Fuck Hondas there everywhere!! Tired of these vtec faggs always talking there shit!!

[extinctdoll29]

Hi there, any HP gain after that? thanks

[GwoodBloodz]

[carl4goz98]

I just got mine today !!!!!! (=^

[wudthephuck]

Was tht vtec?? Jp

[ScorpiosBite1]

Thats mexiyota sound... Not k24 smoothness.

[MaddDogg81]

not K20 quality sound

[sawyerbobby]

I'm no "expert" but,be nice to your car and don;t rev it after a cold start!

[reefchief8]

Still nothing beats the sound of a 4 rotor.

[litwana]

stupid question: when do you have to replace the filter on the CAI? The same as you would on a normal filter box?

[KrziiFlipRyder]

How much hp did it give you?

[pena1128]

hey wuts up. i i have a cai and i noticed that the water that gets in through the crack of the hood is water that leaks on the air filter. have you noticed anything like that?

[hector1234]

how much horses does this add anyway? cuz im lookn to buy this for my 06 tc that and strut and sway bars and the trd brake kit im lookn at about almost 2gs...

[evolve900]

hi i wana get a trd intake for my new scion tc 2010 will i have to take it to the dealership and have them install it so that it doesnt void my warranty?

[jediado]

Installing the part yourself won't void the warranty. It's pretty easy to do yourself.

[gaidenninja9]

R u sure cuz thats not wat they told me

[arjay031]

dealership wont install trd cai.. it wont void warranty yet it will have its own warranty runned by trd

[honorskid93]

wut is the maintenance on this cai compared to the k&n?

[MRxEn3l4x]

me to no inspection

[cbridges]

does your car pass inspection with the cai? cuz ive been seeing all this stuff about carb approved, emissions, and for off road use only, and what not lol jw, before i go out and buy this...

[SuperStreet04]

yes it pass the inspection besides trd is made by toyota so yeah

[jediado]

I live in Florida, no state inspections here.

[WhiteViper254]

@jediado FL4LIFE

[Isaacdlc]

@cbridges anything TRD sells is 50 states legal

[dustinclark83]

@cbridges trd is 50 state legal a lot of mods are 48 =P thats why you see that. Make sure its 50 state. All TRD items are.

[boytwofat]

Did you have any problems installing the intake?

[jediado]

No not really. It's just very time consuming. Set aside at least 2-3 hours. There are a LOT of steps required to remove the stock air box and finally install the CAI. Just make sure to have a lot of time.

[ericeng91]

realy? when i put in my injen intake, i just took a phillips head and loosed the metal clamps and just yanked the whole thing out. the air box is the toughest part, but taht didn't take me any more than 10 minutes. I'm not sure how the TRD intake is setup, but pulling my intake infront of the wheel was the toughest part, it just didn't want to go in easily.

[mviking36]

haha no crap it took me forever to install my cai.. i took over 3 hours jus caus i didnt want to screw anything up.. ended up taking the front bumper off too.. not fun

[emgpickups1990]

@jediado Really? It only took me about 1 1/2 hrs. Never had installed one before either. Only like 4 clamps, 5 bolts and 5 screws hold it all on.....Then reclamping the C/A/I

[Strikey222]

@boytwofat lol for my honda accord it takes me maybe a minute to switch out the stock airbox and aftermarket cai for yearly inspections =D

[wildscionkidtc]

hey can u tell m eif u lost any torque form th eexhaust and intake thanks

[jediado]

nope

[internationalnineone]

TRD vs. Injen.

I pretty much have to get TRD so the dealership can never blame on problem on the intake.. which shady dealerships will do.

Do you know the power differences between the trd and the ingen?

Also, how does the car feel after the install? More power or about the same or what?

thanks

[MustangMillman]

I just installed my TRD last sunday ITS AWESOME noticeable change without a doubt deff more power obv 3 months old for other ppl i wud look into a cai i have the full one idk bout the short ram btr airflow if u go all the way

[sk8orhate55]

i heard that cai could draw water to your engine and cause the engine to fail

any problems with urs?

[jediado]

You'd literally to plow through a heavily flooded street in order to get water into your engine. I haven't experienced any problems with my intake. Like I said, you'd have to be a complete idiot to drive through a flooded street to get water up your intake.

[sk8orhate55]

oo seriously?

wow then

everyone has been makin this big deal about cai's drawing water into your engine and then ur engine hydrolocks

whtever then i rather take advice from someone who owns one

thanks

[lieutenant671]

ya...i put a cai in my wrangler...n for u to hydrolock ur engine with it..ud hav to go deep enuf to wer ur stock intake wud hyrdolock anyway

[koma526]

The CAI on this has a bypass valve that helps with that but it's pretty hard to suck in water anyway.

[ccbikeryder]

nto to mention that little rubber thing that connects his two chrome pipes is a bypass valve... ie: if the filter becomes completely submerged, it breathes from that join instead.

[sourappleTc]

yea if you drive across a body of watter higher than ur wheels it can lol

[malvind166]

since u installed this yourself i take it you'll have to take the front left tire off just to clean the filter every now and then?

[jediado]

Yeah, just about every 10,000-15,000 miles.

[seetherage]

How much did it cost?

[jediado]

$150

[seetherage]

For the part????

where can I buy one?

[miamitalent]

I own a 07 tc with 7k miles.. and got the chance to switch over to a 07 Mustang GT. With fuel costs and everything I'm trying to decide if I should make the switch. Maybe just add the TRD supercharger with the upgraded fuel injectors, headers, exhaust and get a little more power out of it.

[kevinomarL]

Nice car bro, that car is my second choice :D

[Kmangoagui831]

How much more horsepower did it give you?

And did you have to order it?

[jediado]

Between 3-5HP.

Yes I ordered it. I'd suggest looking around, if you buy it from a dealer it'll cost you a lot more.

[jaysong87]

did u install by takin off ur front left tire? or the front bumper off?

[jediado]

Had to remove the front left tire .

[naochue]

Could you feel the difference in power after you installed the intake?

[jediado]

Yeah I could, also got better fuel mileage.

[persiansoccerholic]

eyy man i just got a tc and wondering bout the TRD exhaust..how does it sound ..is it worth getting it ??

[jediado]

Yeah man, I got the TRD exhaust about a month ago. Increased gas mileage and it sounds great!

[Soul6Eater]

Hey You have to make this tC turbo. Its gonna sound heavenly and the WHP youll get will be equaly great

[jediado]

Yeah I'd love to but I don't have that kind of money right now, maybe in the future sometime hehe :P

[cgrif81543432]

yea i second that, it sounds really good. does the intake make it sound much different?

[Racing1on1]

how much was the intake and any other mods you did

[jediado]

I bought it on ebay for $200. Other mods are TRD exhaust, TRD rear sway bar. Saving up for new wheels and tires, got 16 inch steel wheels w/hubcaps >:|

[Racing1on1]

Thanks bro,im looking into getting a scion tc probably a used one not sure what year,but theres lots of things can be done,just overall a nice sporty lookin car......what year is yours

[jediado]

It's an '08. Got it back in December. I would definitely recommend getting an intake and exhaust. Great increase in power and gas mileage. I fill up once every 2 weeks. Once I got those 2 mods, I saw a change in my gas mileage instantly.

[wildscionkidtc]

nice!is the trd cai loud ??

[pie695]

is the injen CAI better than the trd

[damonc]

nice intake, but a couple of questions.

when did you buy the intake? Did you get it from a Scion Dealership? and Is it the AEM intake with a TRD Logo over it (AEM intake is displayed on the Scion Website) ?

Thanks...and nice car!

[cocacola711]

sounds nice. btw, do you feel a difference after the intake was installed?

[jediado]

Yeah I did. I didn't notice it the second I started the car..but once I got the RPMs higher I noticed it had a bit more gains to it. Not like "HOLY CRAP!!!!!" but enough to notice.

[TECHKLEC]

I think it needs more than that.
