Ahh, a nice rep over there at carson scion aka newscionparts.com gave me a niceeeeeeee quote. under 400, mid 300's installed. Super sick. Its the best they can do since they made me pay 250 bux for some "animal" chewing through my wiring harness to my charcol filter.

I have a TRD cold air intake in one of my 2008 xB's and it is the first time that I have actually felt a difference with and without. Like the kinda ram air in the front side vent. Looks cool as well.

Sounds good but I don't think I want to dish out $300+ for a CAI. I might just remove the resonator and get the same effect

Still trying to find out if I can get a deal on the intake for the xB. My work gives me deals all the time on parts, but then again they know that I drive a tC, not a xB.

Oh No worries Flea, honestly i dont want to get you in trouble , just wanted to see if it was easy to hook up an Scion lifer But its all good, i got a quote for 370 installed and its 5 miles from my work. I can probly get it done while im working. Which would be realllly nice.
