Removing the AEM Intake and Replacing it with the Keyless
Hi everyone,
I need some input and or help in a decision to make about my new XA that I bought from a dealer that I have had more than my fair share problems with. Make that 2 XA's I have bought, one for my mother-in-law as well.
Both Scion reps were out of complience when they quoted me 10-11 Hp for the AEM Cold Air Intake. In fact, they both later admited to reading the specs for the Toyota Matrix AEM, and applying it to the SCION.
So, now that I have my new XA with the 3-4 barerly noticeable hp at the wheel, and I received this offer from the dealer GM, because obviously I had no way to test out the AEM on my automatic XA before install, I can assure you, I would not have got the option had I come to this forum and learned my abc's about AEM>.
He will uninstall the AEM and put the credit towards the keyless entry/alarm, instead, since I was seriously misquoted, or I can keep the AEM, and he will give me $100 towards installing the Keyless. I have also received another $100 credit in the form of the mudflaps for a door ding, and dent when I went to pick up the car, and had to wait 10 days for them to fix it.
What Do you all think?

I'd keep the intake. The AEM isn't bad...it's not as good as the Injen or SPFR, but it won't mess your warranty (not that that's a big deal on an intake which can be put back to stock in 10 minutes). Also, it makes a big difference over stock. For the headache, I would just run with the credit for the keyless. But like someone said...make sure they don't jack the price. Check the price they're quoting you against Scion.com and the dealers webpage.
