Can anyone recommend what should be next? either an intake or rather and have my audio system done.? About the intake can anyone recommend what would be a the best Intake? and the audio i have a CD8445 eclipse but changing to the newer model if i go with the system including component speakers and a 12sub.

What should be next?

Since you already have a little audio upgrade...hit up the intake. You'll love the sound and feel.

Audio. The CAI offers a neglible performance gain and a little bit of noise. If you're gonna spend the money, get all the noise you can.

It mostly depends on you, do you want more sound in your car or a little more get up and go?? The big question you is do you have an exhaust already?? If not are you planning on getting 1 in the near future? If not I would say get the system and save up and get the intake and exhaust together or within the same time frame....

I agree with Da_Mac. It depends on which direction you are going with your car...show or go. If you are planning on more speed in the future, go for the intake/header/exhaust combination. If you are going for more looks than speed, go with a system.

well guys i have the TRD exhaust already and i also started with the audio as well i have an eclipse CD8445 HU but upgrading to newer model CD5000 cuz it is ipod ready.
But have been thinking what to get next either my rest of the audio subs components with amps? OR go with an intake? BUT if i go with the Intake WHICH one would be the best choice? im lost there!

I'm pretty lost because im doing both but slowly performance and looks. I have been thinking about the Injen intake is there alot of horse gain and how much is it out there for? or is there other intakes that are better? also is there a difference in sound with a TRD exhaust which i have already? And installing an intake will it void my warranty?

Not if you buy it through the dealer and have them install it. While other intakes, and doing the install yourself shouldn't effect the warranty, in reading some threads on this forum, it would appear that it effectively can. Not to worry, if you ever have a problem such that you need to take it in for warranty work, just remove the aftermarket intake and put the stock unit back on before taking it to the dealership.
