they wont cover an item thats doscontinued. chances are if it dies/fails on you the whole supercharger is gone which was one of the main reasons you bought it. had it on my 05 and it was a complete failure

Aftermarket header + supercharger = boom. There is a reason why trd designed a new header shield to clear the supercharger.

Warranty voided on the supercharger

i guess i could be wrong, but I don't think they can give you a full warranty on it if it already has the aftermarket strup header and exhaust.

i do like it though, just take care of it, keep it well maintained. nice car
