Hey I was wondering if any of you guys had your CAI installed at the dealership if you have a newer TLS. My is relatively new and I would like to still keep it warrantied. ALso how much did it cost? Did you go with INjen or AEM- which is a better fit? I was going to get exhaust, but its too much $ and people on the forums have told me that our exhaust is already pretty adequate in terms of flow and that I would only get minimal HP gains. Intake should give me more bang for the buck? Any tips or advice would be great! Thanks... p.s. should i get a bypass valve?

I bought the AEM "replica" for 70 bucks... I mean - its a metal tube with a filter on the end, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. Now I am going to upgrade to the AEM V2 WITH the bypass valve here shortly... since I'm scared to death to drive my car in heavy rains right now. I installed mine at home, and it really wasn't too hard. I have no mechanical experience, so I'd recommend doing it yourself. But based on what people say, I'd buy the AEM, hence why I am upgrading to V2 shortly.
