If you were to go to a dealership with an aftermarket intake on the vehicle and you had a problem which should be covered under warranty, Toyota would have to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that your air intake is what caused that specific problem. Manufacturers can only void warranties on parts that are specifically damaged by the modification in question.

Now, another note for you guys looking to do header and exhaust mods to your Yarii- if you go to the dealership with, say, a bad O2 sensor or any other emission control part (which is actually, under federal law, covered until 8 years/80K miles) and you have an aftermarket header or exhaust, the chances are nil that the O2 sensor will be covered. Toyota (or any other manufacturer) will argue to the death that those two mods caused the premature failure of the sensor.

I already posted all the Magnason Moss Act info, but knowone seemed to care...

Im not afraid to mod all my cars/trucks.

there will be intake companies pouring in for sure..one of the most common mods anyone can make.

AEM has the patent on the air bypass could this Trd be aem?

Wouldn't be too surprised.. it happends a LOT in the industry.

Take for example the new FRAM Boost intakes... they are renamed, recolored AEM products, made for FRAM. Even the instructions are the same, with the AEM logo's blacked out. FRAM just uses their filter, and rebrands the entire intake as their own.

So if they are paying AEM for the intakes to rebadge, Im guessing Toyota could/would do the same thing.
