PLEASE DELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shouldn't have any CEL's as long as you install it right. Depends on how much you want to spend aswell.

Which is better?

Oh, and Do you HAVE-TO remove front bumper? My girlfriend has the brand new style eclipse, I got her the injen cold air, I installed it with out removing front bumper even though directions say you have to, I just unfastened the inner fender well.

some people didn't need to remove the bumper, But i removed the bumper during my install. It wasn't hard to remove.

/\/\/\ But you half to be careful with the tc and injen cai i get rattles but i fixed it but be aware but injen sounds alot better

Yeah, might might as well get the injen, where was the rattles coming from

i have vids on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/CSUnited14

Rattles come from the cai section doing through the fender well its a tight fit soo it hits the sides the supplied rubber is crap and fell off... but Doc I makes a part to fix all that as well.. http://doctorisotope.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=29

So when I buy the intake I should buy that part and install it at same time right?!?!

yea i would helps prevent rattles... because it moves on rubber washer things so it has some travel with motor moving from first.

Okay cool good to know.

i got the injen with the dr. isotope panel and havent had any 'bumping' issues at all.

Yeah I have a K&N and after a year the top bracket broke. Dr. Isotope holds the intake better than the stock bracket with no rattles. Def. worth it

Check out the classifieds here - there are a few CAIs for sale, including a TRD and my Fujuta.
You can save some money...
I think it's all about the price and the look you liek - they're fairly comparable really.

lol black TRD intake yeah right....

I have to say the injen cai will make you smile when hit the gas, it makes the engine sound soooooo much better. Definitly want to watch for it ratteling, I had mine done at the dealership and the stupid rubber trim that goes on the fender fell off, but the dealership took care of me and put some weather striping in its place and everythings fine so far.

I have the TRD cai and i love it. Its a good intake and it comes with a bypass vavle, but i also got mine new for $285.

lol black TRD intake yeah right....

The TRD CAI is black chrome.

uh yeah i know, but that one link said black as in black black.

Well, if you look in the small pix, it is black.
Could be a rebadged AEM, or maybe a powder-coated one, but it's black.

um yeah I own one so...

And?
What does that prove?
You have one and the one for sale looks different, and does the one I have.
Yup, got one too.
So...

and?

Will stick to INJEN Cold Air with the Dr I's little panel thing for it, might order an air diversion panel for my car too while im shopping there ;)

i have the injen cai and love it, the sound, everything. looks great too.

do yourself a favor and remove the bumper and driver side wheel (both only take a few minutes), if not you're going to have a hard time.

Ahh, I was going to leave the bumper.

trust me take it off, you'll damage the piping really badly if you don't, and only taking off the wheel really doesn't help that much.

Alrighty, My uncle has a lift in his garage, should help a little. Can I just "undo" the drivers side of the bumper? I hear night mares about aligning the bumper back up properly

^ can't really undo one side and bend it away, that will just screw the bumper up. the bumper just snaps right back into position, no aligning problems. i was relieved at how easily it just popped back on.

feel free to try it without removing it, just trying to save you a headache.

No i'm sure i'll just take it off now. ;) Thanks alot

i installed my fujita cai without taking my bumper off, and by just removing the tire and holding back the fender cover.
It was really easy. Took me probably a total of 35-40 minutes.. im taking the fujita off and installing an injen this weekend the same way.

I recommend leaving the bumper on, but to each his own.

You just put on a Fujita, and you're taking it off for an Injen?
Why?

I'd like to know also, I'll scope it out with the bumper on first I guess, idk i'll see what it looks like.

i took my bumper off just makes it alot easier... But i mean its not hard to take the bumper off just time consuming...

Yeah true..

it was tripping my CEL and Im tired of looking at it. It does it on some tC's but not all. I guess i was one of the unlucky ones. I'm selling it if anyone is interested! lol

I hope that won't happen with my Injen. I wont be happy.

I haven't heard of this problem with the Injen's, hence why I switched to that one now...It's weird though, not everyone had a CEL...unno.. :shrugs:

nah Injen is good very high quality just bad rattles lmao

It'll rattle with the Dr I's fender plate thing?

just get a fujita.

UGH NAH THANKS.

I'd get weapon R before some Fujita stuff.

TRD OR INJEN, I was told injen is the way to go. I'm not settling for Fujita. I'd run stock air box before a Fujita.

Based on what?
You crack me up - it's an aluminum tube with a filter.
And FWIW, the stock box is probably better than any of the CAIs so why waste ANY money on one?

If fujita is so good why sell yours, I've seen problems with fujita, if i dont wanna put one on my effin car whats the big deal, i dont tell u what to put on ur car. from what i have seen in person Fujita is garbage.

The Ingen CAI gives you one thing the others does not.........the ability to make it a SRI like the Weapon R.......this is great in the fall when the rains come..........

Ingen is a nice big tube and really looks great and has a great sound to it also........when it is in SRI it sounds as good as the Weapon R.........but when it is in CAI it is a pretty mean sound too.............I went with Weapon R mainly cause I am too lazy to pop off the tire and clean my filter............and I have no garage and living in an apartment I don't like to pop the hood so everyone can see what there is to steal......LOL

Go Ingen you will like it........

thanks bud

If fujita is so good why sell yours, I've seen problems with fujita, if i dont wanna put one on my effin car whats the big deal, i dont tell u what to put on ur car. from what i have seen in person Fujita is garbage.

Whatever...
I'm selling it because I got another one as a gift, and I can't use this as a short ram.
Nothing at all wrong with the quality, don't know what you've "seen" that shows otherwise.

i got TRD cause of warranty, i alreday had my bypass valve replaced for free.

ppl say warranty isnt an issue, but ive read countless threads where dealers wont work on cars or whatever cause of mods, even mods that have nothing to with the problem your having with your car.

like that guy that had hvac light issues, and the dealer wouldnt work on his car cause he red led foot well lights (lame)

so thats why I say TRD, just so the dealer doesnt give a me hard time.

There may be some odd logic to that.
Not on your part, but on behalf of the dealers, which are tools.

yeah they can be hard to deal with, but im happy with my intake, it was the only one i wanted anyways, not having the dealer or a dealer hassel me about it is a plus.

The TRD is the best-looking, hands down.
TRD is quality stuff, er AEM? :)

yeah haha AEM,

I used to have a link of the AEM when it first came out for the tC, had the AEM badge and all in the pic, but I cannot find it. was interesting to see lol.

I was told AEM doesn't make one for the 08 :(

AEM makes CAIs for TRD I believe, TRD just badges them.

I see.

i have an 08 tc and i have the black injen intake, but i dont run cold air i run short ram because of alot of rain in WA....its good

it's scary to see watermarks on my injen cai tubing near the motor haha

Ok...

Injen, the sound it makes man is awsome. I have one it it will rattle a little bit not much, and it only hits in one spot so Im goin to glue a rubber piece to the spot where its hittin to take out the rattling. Injen will give you the most gains/best sound/ and its cheaper then the TRD. You can get the injen on without takin off the bumber trust me I did it. I got mine for 279 from trd sparks shipped for free. And dont worry bout hydrolockin really, if you arnt goin through puddles that are really deep you will be fine.

So injen FTW

I got mines for $230 new at a local shop =D haha but damn wtf I had to take out the bumper to install haha

injen sounds the best did you hear mine on my youtube videos?? i have a video of the intake

Hey CSUnited, just wondering, when you got your crank pulley installed, did you feel a big difference in your acceleration or was it just a tid bit different?

Well its hard to say since its been awhile but i Personally Felt a pretty nice Pull in rpms when getting on it... But it could be my butt dyno or whatever.. It actually took awhile for me to really notice the difference of it.. but it seems that the rpms do run through the gears faster.

lil clips of the TRD CAI and TRD exhaust sound while driving...

whatever

Ugh, Automatic?


:blah:

Wow that's the first time I've ever seen the Auto...glad I got the 5spd :love: .

Yeah, well sit in LA traffic 4-hours a day and you'd love it!

Yeah, well sit in LA traffic 4-hours a day and you'd love it!

I'm from Jersey, it's just as crowded here :P .

Ok to break teh tension... haha. Before installing your intake, if you plan on buying the injen water repellent cone cover or the AEM bypass valve, I advise you to buy it and install it the same time as the intake. I have the cone cover but too lazy to take everything apart to install it haha and please no one reply with "you don't need to worry about hydrolock, just avoid puddles or deep rain" blah blah blah b/c we all know that, just telling him if he chooses to buy it, it'd be easier to install the same time as the intake than wait, which was my mistake...

I dont mind stick in traffic... I just Fning hate it on hills WITH traffic haha =[

I lived back east for 20 years - you got more toxic waste, but not more traffic :rofl:

i like arizona.
