Here are some news on the TC intake from Paul at Injen. Paul advised me that although the intake is not CARB certified and the way for them to get around it was to market it as an off-road aftermarket part. He also told me that they sold over 300 TC intakes the FIRST week. Yup, the first week.
That's why there's no aftermarket parts for our cars. Different marketing schemes. TCs are geared toward the younger generation. Not trying to put our solaras down by far. But we must come to a realization that our cars are very nice and classy. For those, that want to mod the solaras; most will have to go the custom route.
Getting back with the Injen intake for the Solaras. Paul did advise me that there needs to be a higher demand for this intake from 02-04 Toyota Camry and 04 & up Solaras in order for them to continue the R&D process. Therefore, Injen may release the SRI for the Gen 2 Solaras as an off-road product as they did for the TC; so that they can get around the state of California CARB issues. It's all about the demand for this.
I hope this will shed some light on the Gen 2 SRI.
