AFE cai intake....pros/cons

[Edgarm87]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have a stock '08 yaris 4Dr.

Does anyone know if there is a risk in putting a CAI? such as ruining the engine somehow or burning a sensor? I want to get the Fujita CAI for my car but I am not sure if I should or not.

Also, I just want my car to sound cool..would an intake make any difference in the sound my motor makes?

Thanks for your help and time!

The only risk is if water gets into the engine via your intake. Any short ram intake, such as the AFE talked about in this thread (http://shop.microimageonline.com/pro...2&productId=74), will reduce the risk of hydrolocking.

Also, yes, the intake makes your car sound "cool". It gives it a very throaty, deep noise.
