I bought mine locally, but there are a ton of places online.... I'd do a search in only the sponsored sales forum for Injen CAI, and you'd probably get a couple of threads where a Scionlife Sponsor is selling them... which is always the best to buy from!

In my opinion, i have to say that i had one on my last car...
its nothing but trouble for your car....

i had an injen cai on my old zx3 for like 3 years...

it sounded cooler then normal but i live in south fla...
the rain and getting stuck in puddles and crap...SUCKED

im sure the bypass valve may have helped but whatever/
after messing with the engine on my last car i learned my lesson,.
dont ____ with it

Where it sits in our tC is perfect for running in wet weather.... no one here, out of the 5000 or so somewhat active members has hydrolocked a tC yet, and I live in Oregon, where it rains all the time....

As long as you don't drive through any 2 ft. puddles, (Which would be REALLY bad for your car without a CAI) you won't have any problems....

Tattoo, read up on the old posts about the CAI for our Car... It's been debated 1000 times and everyone's come to the conclusion that the CAI is just right for our setup and pulls in some decent HP #'s for what it is.... and has no rain/hydro problems unless pushed to a limit where you shouldn't go anyways.

I completely agree, all my friends are jealous of tC CAI set up

THe tc really cant reach water with the injen cai cuz first of all there is a huge plastic guard under the car, and the intakes filter is around 7 inches above that plastic guard and pretty mucg 13 inches from the ground depending if the car is lowered or not.

Also the best place i got it from was intrigue motors in walnut, ca. called them up and they told me they ebay bids and sent me link and i got my injen cai for 250 shipped. They are also listed as a injen dealer on injen.com. My scion dealership wanted to sell it to me for 385.

You might want to check out the warranty on your CAI when you buy it from non Injen Dealers who are just reselling it after buying it from someone else. You can contact Injen directly for the bad news.
