    Smile What type of catback and CAI? Does it void Warrenty?

    Hey everyone i decided not to go with trd its wonderfull but way to expensive for me, i was looking at aem cai but they dont show any for a08 will on 06 model fit? i was also looking at Injen cai but do they have a carb legal one or no? For exhaust i was looking into megan drift spec catback and maybe injen im not sure which ones is better for the buck. Any sujestions on which cai to take and what is the best catback i can get with a good sound (no rasp) for a good price?

    TRD's CAI is really AEM just rebranded. Injen is good, that is what I have, I don't know about it not being CARB legal, I thought it was. The 06 will not fit on the 08, but the 07 will. I'm not a fan of Megan. Cat backs won't give much rasp, most of that comes from installing headers. For exhaust just read around, there are a plethora of threads on different forums about which are good for what purpose.

    NO on the Megan. Experience has proven to me that their product is poorly R&D and has a low offshore quality.

    IMO the TRD has the best note in all ranges for the stock exhaust. Not so good with aftermarket header. In that case you will need to have a larger resonator installed. Add an straight-thru mid-pipe and it is unbearably loud.
