make sure you have all your tools..

can cold air/short ram intakes harm your engine? I just dont know enough to mess with that yet. Basically, I'm asking..what's the worst that can happen with an intake? I've got the extended warranty and I dont want toyota to tell me that they arent going to honor it if the intake causes problems. AEM/dealer cai costs too damn much !!

2. Low quality filters or filters with poor filtration can result in engine build up
