    And if you ever think of putting on one of those 'High Performance' units that put an unboxed filter lower than the OE - DON'T if you ever want to cross large puddles. I have a close friend on here that hydro locked his engine. ...that CAI was a very expensive 'upgrade.'

    And let's be very clear. Dealers are stealers. If they can get Toyota to fund their repair bays, they jump on it as it is good work if you can get it. I know of one dealer that would try to push everything through because it never hurt and the customer loves them. Owning a dealership is a license to steal in many ways and this seems to be a case of thievery of sorts. As long as they get the money from Toyota, they don't care.

    That’s perfect! :thumbsup::rolleyes:

    We gotta organize a sumo match between Toyota’s Lawyers and K&Ns lawyers. My money is most likely with the Toyota guys, because they know this ancient Japanese fighting move called “monkey clutches peaches”. No defence against that.

    Holy smokes! You have to get the “directors cut” of Karate Kid to learn Dragon Snatching Plum. They cut it out of the movie......it was a threat to pubic safety.

    What? No. Come on. There are way worse things in the world. Sea world charges more money for entrance than Disney land, and who wants to see fish? Or that 5guys burgers and frys rip SO hard on in n out and people just eat that shit up. Or TRD pro suspension cost. It’s not even that robust! Ramen went up 10 cents, and my mail woman is sabotaging my LIFE.
