I got mine in the PPC(Private Party Classifieds). Check that out for a good deal. I believe showstoppersusa.com is the cheapest place to buy the Injen CAI with free shipping I believe, but I am still not positive.

i did have one problem , i couldnt get my vacuum switching valve to mount on the tab. how is it supposed to go. i assume the plastic tab goes through the big hole and the screw through the small one , but it i align it to set like that the vacuum lines are kinked and it hits the brake fluid resivor.

any suggestions ?

Step on the gas!!! Your smile will get bigger as you approach 6000 RPM. It sounds a little better in CAI mode. The SRI is LOUD and not as deep as when you are sucking the air from inside the front bumper.

when i was driving, approaching 4k RPMS, i could have sworn a car that was redlining was passing me, but to my surprise, it was just the sound of the intake.

pure awesomeness. definetely loving this intake.

It sounds good but with a combo of an exhaust, it'll make the exhaust louder as well.

Ahh, that sucks. Because I am planning on getting the S/C and it will make the exhaust louder than a CAI and I ordered a Magnaflow Catback.

And don't say they won't make a S/C for the 07s because that would be a HUGE mistake. And 2007 CANNOT be the last year for the tC.
