Sounds good... Probably some of the best parts you could have bought.

Make sure you reset the ECU and let it idle after the install. And let us know
How it sounds/performs.

Peace

Your welcome. I am glad to help you out and remember to post up after the install here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12451 Also post up a pic. :D

 

Did your aem cai come with a bypass valve? what price if you don't mind me asking for the aem cai?

 

no bybass valve included...got it from www.ptuning.com price was in the ballpark of 209 with something like 5% off and free shipping. it was the cheapest i found, but i didnt do a real extensive search either.

the bypass valve type aem intake can only be bought through the dealer . the aftermarket style is the "L" pipe

 

I wanna see the pics. :D

 

i will take some tomorrow...im off from work and theres gonna be a heat wave up here where im at (36degrees) so im gonna wash my car and take some pics and i will hopefully get them posted on here for u.

I just bought the same setup and I am new to working on cars. What do you mean by ECU?

 

ECU = the car's computer.

 

how do you reset the thing? I am doing an Axle Back shortly too...
do you need to reset it after the exhaust or only after the cai install?

 

disconnect the neg battery cable for 15+ minutes then re-connect

 

Thanks!

 

When I do intake installs, I don't reset the ECU or unplug the battery. I just let it idle for 15 minutes. Yes, some say 15 minutes it too long, but that's how long it usually takes my to clean the tools and put them back. It works for me, and I have yet to throw a CEL.

 

Ħsquirrel es loco! lol, j/k. When I installed my intake, I threw a CEL right when I started my car. I pulled the EFI fuse and left it out for 15 seconds to reset the ECU. link to tech article.

I swear squirrel is hiding some CELs somewhere...

I love you, squirrel.

 

ya never threw a cel eh? how about this ... you ever catch one? lol. when i started my xb after intake install i threw one too. but i just shut it off then restarted it and no more probs afterwards

 

Haven't got one one my car either, and I too never reset the ECU

 

Nope, I've done over a dozen installs on 'rollas, Matrix and Scions, no CEL. Just lucky I guess since I'm not an expert.

 

BangorXB, that exhaust system must be installed and driving around already. You haven't posted in a bit. :D
