Lol that looks pretty darn close to stock, why not go with a cai?

^^ because that intake is CARB legal.

sorry ~ i am pretty noob about thise thing~

whats is different between cold air intake and this one??

if i choose CAI, i would get Fujita

i c that fujita only increase 6 hp but this one increase 7.58hp~

s why should i get CAI??
please teach me

loss of words really... all i really got is the fact that you can drive with that particular k&n intake legally, whereas any CAI is illegal.

how about HP??
which increase the power more?

an intake is an intake, its Really only just gona sound, but if you want one that supposedly adds .1 hp lol more than any other intake out htere, get the INJEN, prety much b/c it has bigger piping then the k&n, or fujita. i have the K&N and i just replaced teh air filter that it comes w/ with an AEM air filter...and i noticed a bit better performance all around. I suggest you just remove your airbox in general...see what happens.

i c ~
my friend told me that CAI will not pass the smoke check!
is that true???

CAI won't pass a visual smog check on the tC.

so what should i do when i need to do the smoke check??

put you stock airbox back in...

or as i said.. if you buy that one you posted a pic of.. it'll be fine... you'll get an EO# and a sticker for it.

what is EO#??

i tihink i might get the one i posted, but do u know or any one know about the sound of this intake?

is this one sounds like CAI?

hopefully you have a 2007 tC because that is what i believe the intake was designed for.

judging by the picture, sort of reminds me of the old swiss cheese stock airbox trick. people just cut holes in the bottom part of their stock airbox, drop in a K&N filter, and supposedly you would have some decent sound but minimal to 0 gain. this looks like that with the bottom half of the airbox gone.

what is EO#??

You need to have one to pass visual inspection, and the 2007 version of this intake does not have one... yet. I wouldn't worry too much about it, '07 won't get smogged until 2013 and since it keeps the upper air filter box, no one will notice it's aftermarket.

i have 2006 tc...

i wanna change a intake or a CAI
but i also wanna pass the visual inspection~
what should i do?

a) Use a drop-in filter from K&N or TRD

b) Don't worry about it and install what you want, go back to stock for smog check in 2011 or 2012 (and don't get pulled over and hood popped by law enforcement before then)

c) Convert you current box to a Dr. Isotope GFI (you'll have to search for that)

so even i chage the trd intake from dealer,
is it still illegal??
