I just called the Dealership about it and was told that they had some Toyota reps there and for an extra $75 (out of pocket) they will replace the motor with a BRAND NEW one that comes with a 12 month warranty as part of some Service Assurance Program. W00t x infinity.

I dont know how many times people have to go through this before people get the message that these things kill your car. I personally know of 5 xBs that have suffered the same fate with cold air intakes.

I only got an Intake because I had money to burn in the Paypal acct. I would recommend against them. It doesn't help performance, just allows you to hear the suction & valve noise. But if you must have one, the shorter the better.
Good to see they worked fast. Did you end up getting an all new engine with that $75 extra?

But I called & they said Dealer Item only. Maybe another place might have one.
