wow. i was hoping a little better than 140. lol. I want to lower it asap. still doing a little research on the choices. ill probably buy the tein. and ill also buy the trd exhaust for warranty. but thats probably it until i get the cash for the descendant turbo kit. lol

" it only voids warranty if the MOD is the cause of the issue" thats the general answer ive always gotten when it comes to mods and warranty issues

thanks! i will check it out. Idk about toyota, but when i got my cobalt i had a header, catless dp and exhaust. a few months later my feul pump went bad (has nothing to do with exhaust components lol) and they voided my whole powertrain. Chevy wasnt an easy companty to work with. lol.

Welcome!

While the TRD exhaust is nice and has a great sound, there are other exhausts out there that give you more for your money. And Scion won't void your warranty for a mod. As was stated before, if it causes the failure, then Toyota won't cover it, but otherwise mods have no affect on the warranty. Technically, the same hold true for all car companies, but some dealers (including some Toyota ones) will try and tell you otherwise.

As for a drop, if you're just looking at lowering springs, I'd look at the Eibachs as well. I'm on Teins and have been toying with the idea of switching to Eibachs for months.

One last thing. Most baseline dynos of the tC2 actually are a little over 160 whp. I haven't seen any show as low as 140 whp on the tC2. That number was what the tC1 usually baselined at.
