Does anyone know if installing the Injen AIT will void factory warranty?

Also, I have 2600 miles on my 06 and I like the car but no totally impressed with the power...is anyone else unimpressed?

 

You gotta search that questions is probably the most asked question on the forum...

I can attest to the fact that even in Canada, without consumer protection laws like you have in the States, that I am picking up my car on Monday from getting a complete teardown and rebuild.

I have an Injen CAI. Since it wasnt the cause of the problem, it wasn't cause for concern for the dealer or warranty.

 

Click here and read about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

 

It seems that everyone has their own opinion but is there anything in writing from the factory regarding aftermarket parts?

 

I can do you one better...it's federal law

If you aren't impressed, why did you buy the car? I think everyone that loves their car on this forum knows that it's NOT A FAST CAR. If you wanted a fast car either get an STI, EVO, or spend the extra cash and pick up an M3.

Either way, I don't think it voids warranty, even though your dealership might give you crap for it.

 

i loved this car from the first i laid eyes on it.....and after I test drove it I made the decision that this car offers everything I was looking for hands down....but now after owning it for three months I have different take on the vehicle......

It just needs some additional power and it would be perfect...

The CAI I am debating whether or not to install....I have the part sitting in my living room for months.

I do not ant to rice this car out just improve the performance...

 

The CAI literally doesn't give the car a noticable bump in power as would the Comptech SC. It however let's you hear the wonderful sounds of the K24 engine.

 

wrong car . No mod aside from the SC or a turbo will give u that much more power. If ur that worried, i woudlnt bother.

 

is the sound over powering or a pleasant growl? does it sound rice burner like?

 

Dude, i know you have a lot of questions, but use the search function. These questions have been answered so many times

 

I have done the search and read peoples opinions but the responses left me craving for more opinions.

 

Sound: Great. Deep, throaty (lol, deep throat), NOT ricey. Sounds extremely healthy and quite nice.

 

based on your opinion and what I have read I am going to do it....


I want to do it my self but I have no garage and it is cold here in MA. I may take it to my mecanic or just wait till Spring

 

Its not too hard to install. I would recommend NOT taking the bumper cover off, as its unnecessary. I believe the K&N instructions (visit their website) shows the wheelwell method, which is the recommended method.

Took me and a friend about 1 hour to do. The only PITA is the dreaded bolt behind the bumper. With a gear wrench, however, it wasn't bad at all.

 

Thanks

I will check out the website for the wheel well install....I also have the great picture and direction which were posted on the Acurazine site....

any suggestions with the PITA bolt? What tool do you reccommend?
