:thumbup:
Well just installed my CAI and I must say that it is sweeeeet!!! :headbang:
It sounds so deep and awesome, I am super stoked about it.
Super easy to install except on the instruction they dont say to lift the car up to take off the wheel, but whatever. Took me about 2 hours and 15 minutes. That includes setting it up, cleaning it up, test driving it, and taking pics
( which will I will post later because I dont have the cables right now ). Also I gotta super good deal on it, the AEM CAI (any color) and the Tanabe Strut Bar for 3 bills. If you live in the So. Cal area let me know and I will see if I can get my hook up to do the deal again.

Well first of all sounds a lot more deep almost like a WRX, I mean not quite but hopefully that helps with the discription a little bit. And when you rev it up it sounds like there is instantly a deeper suction. Hope that helps.

How did the strut bars work out for you? I'd like to get some on my sedan with a sway bar also.

Enjoy reading about it! We are reverse-engineeering the work put into the car by Toyota. :smile:
Yes, I know that I am guilty too. :wink:
