Is the injen intake really that low on the bumper? I was thinking about getting this before I heard about all these incidents.

@tbox
It's just part of the game. I just got back from the dealer for a valid warranty repair. My radio was malfunctioning. The tech came back and said they wouldn't replace the radio because the problem was intermittent and wasn't malfunctioning at the time. In other words, they didn't believe me. You should have seen their faces when I pulled up the video showing the malfunction. Priceless. Long story short, my new deck comes next week. Dealers want to make money like you not wanting to spend money.

At the same time a elderly lady next to me was getting service done. She said her 2009 Altima was getting poor gas milage. I thnk she said she had about 15k miles on the odo. The service tech said she needed an air filter change, throttle body cleaning and injector cleaning for a discounted price of $300 plus tax. It might not be "stealing" but I'd be pissed if someone tried to pull that crap with me.

I'll speak my mind when someone is being a theif, because if he does in fact file a claim that's exactly what he is.
If you decide to mod your car (which I'm all for), you should take responsibly for the fact that repairs are inevitable. I've been in this game long enough to see hundreds of jackasses rip companies off making them warranty repair blown motors because they cranked boost, or some crap like that. Stealing is stealing, it doesn't make it right because it's from a big business.

And not that I have to justify myself, but I'm 31 years old and haven't had a speeding ticket or accident in 10 years smart ***.

That's why i went with the gen 3's, they are much higher up. Unfortunately if someone going FI..TT or SC the air intakes are very low.:shakes head:......But i wont FI in one form or the other.

yeah it's not valve you could have bent the rods, damaged the head gasket broken any number of fasteners, can't remember where but there was site with a good section on hydrolocked engines one had streched the head studs lift the cylinder an 1/8th inch and sprayed a fine line of oil like a laser all around a dyno test cell, be really really happy if ****'s not broke.
