CAI and Sports Muffler - Toyota Yaris Forums

Has anyone done a DIY example of installing (with pics) of the TRD Cold
Air Intake and/or the Sports Muffler? My dealer wants $1050 for the
parts installed. That seems a little steep.

It only takes 30min (dragging ass) to un-install the muffler and maybe 45 min for the CAI. $249.95 for the CAI and $324.95. So $574.90 will get you covered with just a little bit of knowledge, so just go to the dealership and kick them in the NUTS!!!

ps. Those are prices on the AEM CAI and TAnabe Medallion exhaust

Yup. That’s what I came up with too - about 500 bucks labor for the
install! Me, well I can’t even change a light bulb. Seriously, this is WAY
over my head - BUT my brother-in-law can do it. He would like to see
some photos of someone doing the install for the CAI first. We’re pretty
sure he can do the muffler - in his sleep.

The exhaust took me maybe 10 minutes - half of that was going and putting some water in a spray bottle to lubricate the rubber pipe hangers so they'd slip off.

The AEM CAI comes with the most complete and easy to follow directions I've ever seen for anything. It had photographs of each step. It was easy and fun to install. The hardest part was getting up inside the fender well to install the air filter element.

The dealer is a ripoff.

You can pay me a plane ticket and I'll do it for you for free and still you'll come on top

Ha-ha thanks for the offer, but I wouldn’t want to subject you to
my little hillbilly town. You would be scared.

I shot this video clip from inside and outside the vehicle to give you some idea of the sound both will give you. My car is better insulated than stock.
