Default Which is better the TRD CAI or the Injen CAI

Hello guys, I'm planning to put a CAI on my xb and I can't choose between the two. I have some concerns in installing an aftermarket CAI, like my warranty will be voided in I put the Injen?. Just want to know, cuz I will be dealing with the engine and I don't want to turn my ride into a piece of junk. I need some info... Thanks!

Injen FTW, you wont void your warranty but as far as i know, TRD has the only emissions legal aftermarket intake for the '08 xB.

Both are good, but TRD comes with warranty and is CARB legal in case you live in California.

^^^x2. I have the TRD and the reason I opted for it instead of the Injen, AEM, or the Fujita is because IF something happens, it's covered by warranty.

On the other hand, look at how they both install... The TRD is a clean install, no doubt. But when I look at the AEM install, I think it looks ALOT cleaner. Instead of routing the pipe kind of over the negative battery terminal, it's routed to the side of the battery.

I notice the small stuff. you---> <---me

Yes, I hear ya, but if that hand doesn't shut up I might have to break it.

If you lived in California, with the auto-police, you wouldn't put anything on that isn't CARB legal; warranty or not. But yes, I agree about the warranty.
