Default 2011 xB TRD CAI

If I missed this somewhere else sorry, but does anyone have the new 2011 xb TRD CAI installed? Is it worth the money? Any power gains? Mileage gains?

Thanks for the feedback!

Don't own it, but certain to be power gains (perhaps a little less than the original TRD CAI, but shouldn't be by much). Forget about improved gas mileage -- neither CAI nor RAI give that. Worth the money? No idea!

I would go aem or similar, IIRC it was import tuner that tested the aem cai on the xb, i dont remember the power yield but it was right around 10whp and 10wtq (well worth the money imo), I'll try to find the dyno charts.

Correction:
peak 12whp
peak 14.8wtq

Ok here it is, this car reacts VERY well to these mods especially if you understand the difference between wheel hp tq and flywheel hp tq.

Does the AEM intake fit in the 2011? I've read that the engines have pretty much the same layout.

Yes, 08-11 is the same for intake and many other mods, just do a bit of research before you buy anything to make sure though.

Also, AEM, Injen and Fujita5 are basically the same thing imo you will get the same performance out of any of these brands just a little different styling and price. And I dont think the TRD will give as much performance and sound, it's still geared around oem styling which fine but its over priced as compared.

I installed one 2 weeks ago on my 2011. I also slapped on the Strup Header, Weapon R s-pipe, and Strup Exhaust today.
