good SR intake?

[kvinhtc]

I have a magnaflow exhaust I was thinking of getting a weapon r intake. Anyone have suggestions on what intake would go well w.a magnaflow to make the best noise?

[TBITB]

i didnt know there was a certain combination of intakes to give certain noises i would think the exhaust would be the overall determining factor in noise level since all intakes are just about the same...

[kvinhtc]

I thought SR intake had some effect on noise? If it doesn't then what can I add besides an exhaust to add more noise?

[TBITB]

SR will have an effect on noise - but i mean i dont think there will be a substanstial difference from one SR to another.

headers will make you noisy as well... intake+headers+exhaust=lots of noise!

but, just curious, why are you so concerned with noise?

[kvinhtc]

its jss one of the first things I wanna do to my car. And what intake would u say I should get?

[TBITB]

injen is pretty popular cuz u can go back and forth from CAI to SRI.

weapon r SRI is a good one too.

you really cant go wrong with any of them... AEM, Injen, Weapon R... a couple people on the forum have even gone with the ebay special...

I have a magnaflow and I had my Injen CAI on it. Sounds sooooooooo good. Then I put headers on and it became raspy, but my cars a sleeper now. When people pull up the think I just have a fart can.

does the injen cai/sri affect waranty on the car?

[Vmix06]

yes it does if you install anything that is aftermarket there goes the warranty on the car the dealerships are really sensitive on these mods

[TBITB]

but the fine print says if that mod is the result of a failure, then your warranty is voided. if u have an aftermarket intake, and ouy have to replace your springs or something, you should be fine. they may try to give you a hard time cuz most people assume the worst. but it should be in the contract

[sexpistols505]

thanks, im looking to get most of my parts from trd, so would it still be the same for the warranty?

[TBITB]

if you go with trd - and the dealer installs - then you get a warranty. if the intake blows your engine up - ur covered! (i think... but you get a warranty for sure!)

i think the trd cai is actully an injen cai slightly modified... and overpriced...

[Vmix06]

yes if you stick with the TRD performance parts and have you dealership install them you will most deffinatly get a warranty because TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development and Scion is a branch off of Toyota lol

[sexpistols505]

yeah i know lol i was just going to install the **** myself but that might kill the warranty

[TBITB]

yea they have to do it. they wont wanna fix your mistakes.

it's worth it to spend the extra money for certain things like the s/c or something else that has a higher rate of failure. intakes dont really fail tho unless you put it on wrong so it's worth the risk

yeah im also looking at the weapon r, i hear good things about it and they got some good lookin chicks on their page (irrelevant but still a bonus haha) but in all seriousness the weapon r looks legit. the injen as far as i no isnt street legal. like posted in my other thread, you can always pull the trick of buying an inspection sticker from a gas station. a bit illegal but i know alot of my friends do it because of their mods. im going to be matching my intake with a borla catback exhaust.

oh but whoever asked about the weapon r with the magnaflow. search weapon r intake for scion tc in google and one of the first links send you to youtube with a tc with the weapon r intake and a magnaflow exhaust and you get to hear it. i mean, you obviously dont hear the true sound because of internet streaming and whatnot, but you get the idea, sounds good to me.
