The Stealership wanted to charge me 200 for install but it only took about an hour and 10 min to install. easy. i think the 2.5 inch diameter makes for easier install than the 3 inch injen.

I had to get a TRD (AEM) CAI from Sparks and then have it installed on my xA by my dealer. Dealer charged me less than $50 to install it. With the TRD exhaust system, it sounds awsome. It may not be for everyone, but it works for me.

TDR? hmmm sounds cool but more than likely wrong buddy. 'sok! ;) im not usually the ahole but it was said twice. wanted to make sure everyones on the same train.

PunkInDrublic

I'll be the ahole.

It's "TRD" which stands for Toyota Racing Development.

The mis-spelling in the post was fine, but it's also wrong in his sig.

HE SURE DID! wow this is a deeper issue than i thought.

Smokey, watch out. your in a TOYOTA forum. Yota boys arent as mean as Honda boys but u dont want to get on their wrong side

smokeydog001

I stand corrected and can only beg that you forgive an old man

AcrimoniousBear

'sok! ok im gonna sound dumb but are you REALLY 87? i mean....whoa. u've gotta be one of the coolest 87 year old men to have a tuner xA.

smokeydog001

At my age its not a tuner. Anything with a big block chevy or hemi is a tuner. I think of it as an all weather wheel chair! Nitrous Oxide and ZPI lite pully coming next!

AcrimoniousBear

this is a jok you CANT be 87. how old are you REALLY?

i so want a 1970 Chevelle SS!!! my uncle wants to give me his 69 Oldsmobile 442 and that will do nicely. runs faster than when it was new with all the mods and up to date technology with the antique feel on the interior. bangin sound system and a bit of reliability to boot!!!!!

Well, I'm 60 something, but I feel near 90! Been rode hard and put up wet. The old lead sleds were great screamers, but had 2 minor little probs. They were hell to turn and hell to stop! They were basically farm implements compared to cars today. It was a time when men were men and the sheep were nervous!

AcrimoniousBear

How TRUE THAT IS!!! i was scared of that 442 for a good 5 years cuz the steering wheel spins like a top with one finger! and to have 400+ horses behind it.....eh...that was VERY unnerving! and it was definately heavy. it took half the 1/2 street we were on to slow it back down!!!!!! i was the whole time! a 1/4 mile to get to 105 and seemed like another 1/4 to get back to 0? that was enuf for me for 5 years! now i want it again. just got my quote from progressive to add it to my policy with my tC!!!! only 20 xtra bucks! Clearly they dont know what they are insuring!

^^ I think the AEM battery tie and oil cap are standard on the RS1.

here's jonny!!!!!!!!!!!, i finally arrived, it seems as if this post was posted behind my back huh? lol j/k i was prolly sleeping! anyways most of you know how i feel about the TRD CAI, if you have the money and like it please yourself by getting what you want, dont please others and what they have or wish they have. Lastly you know I got the intake, and i can tell you i paid roughly $488 and that included instalation. Yes i could feel some better performance out of my tc , seems to get it up faster, and it sounds imo great not obnoxious. In the higher rpms yhou are able to step on the gas whitout the feeling of restriction. All in all it's a great purchase, but as i said before if you have the money and like it get it, if you have nothing good to say about it, then dont. Also the thing about not being carb legal...eh. Warranty is still kept as long as dealer does it. And I know someone will post " warranty is not voided if they can't trace the problem back to the after market part" or something like that. But as always it's a nice thing to have + if something goes wrong with it Scion will replace, but remeber only replacing if it has natrualy failed, so dont horse whip your cars lol.

It is nice... and I'm glad you're happy with it... but holy crap. That's well over double what I paid for Injen.

I just didn't think it would be that much, though I suppose it's mostly b/c of the install? The numbers are supposed to be pretty close as far as HP is concerned anyways. Though we really don't have any "good" test. Just a couple people that went to a free dyno... which is a start.
