Default Just purchased Joe-Z intake, aFe filter, and a new license plate frame =)

Going shopping can be fun for boys too! I just went to Carson Toyota and bought a Joe-Z intake tube, aFe drop in filter, and a license plate frame. Luis helped me out and was real cool. A quick question though before I install it today, if I get around to it because the GF is already in a complaining mood , but any thing specific I need to watch out for or do when I install the intake tube? It's all just "plug and play" right? Just want to make sure I don't do anything dumb.

Yea Sunday will be fun! LOL yea it would have been nice to have gotten the plate free, it was $27, but it's all good. I have the hookup on all things cycling related scratch my back and I'll scratch yours... but not in the Obama way

You're gonna like the blue Joe Z intake! It's not as OEM looking as the black one, but it sure gives a nice color to the engine bay.

I would definitely in for a group buy on the Joe Z PTS Exhaust. Im kind of still torn if I want to get in on the PPE headers. I would like it for the performance, but I dont like anybody else working on my car. Im happy with the car already. I just need a better sounding exhuast not to loud.

^^ I can easily tell you guys that there are no GB plans on the exhaust anytime soon...

As a positive side note, PTS & I have also made sure the price hasn't increased in the last 4 years..
Even though the cost and materials has increased over the years.


Give a call to your local vendor and see what kind of "Special CL rates" can be given on shipping or no tax deals (where applicable).


Best Regards,

~ Joe Z
