catback exhaust

[j-bles]

someone set me right.. from what ive read, most everyone agrees that catback is the way to go.. i dont know much about mods but ive been researching.. i want horses, but i dont want my exhaust coming out crooked. case and point, the megan racing drift spec catback.. i think they have picks on krazykustomzonline. the pics of the tc looked horrible.. will all catback systems come out like this?

also, i live in the WV hills.. it snows, it rains, how worried should i be about water getting in my engine if i get CAI? would a short ram be better?? what do you suggest?

I live in RI and have to deal with all the seasons, I am considering a CAI as well and from what I understand you would have to completely submerge your filter in water to do any damage to your engine. They sell bypass valves just in case water does get past the filter it won't go into your engine.

if you want to get the most outta your engines breatheability yes, go with a catback, and make SURE the one you're looking at IS a catback! and no, they don't all look crooked like that, i personally hate anything that comes out of megan racing, but that's just me. as for the CAI, go with a short ram, go with a full-length, by a bypass valve, doesn't really matter. you're not going to suck any water unless you're cruisin through at least 2 foot deep water.

so i talked to my dealer and they said that if i buy anything other than TRD, it will void my warranty.. are they just blowin smoke to get my to buy through them, or will i void my warranty?? i asked a couple questions and the dude couldnt give me a straight answer so im guessin he just wants to make a couple bucks.. what do you all think?

[claytongozoom]

they're full of sh*t, i was worried about the same thing, only had my car for 3 months and i've talked to numerous dealers about it and they say as long as you're not jeopardizing the engine's structural integrity or modifying the ECU or wiring then it's fine.

is ur tc an 2007 , and are u sure the drift spec will fit on ur tc if it is an '07?

It will TECHNICALLY void your warrantee on that part. For instance, you get an after market exhaust so your exhaust warrantee is covered. However, there's a catch. If there is some kind of problem, they have to actually prove that said aftermarket part has damaged the structural integrity and blah blah blah. So yes and no ;] ... Just be smart with what you get because you can blow out your engine by putting on parts not designed for your car.
