Do you want to make noise or are you looking for more power?

If you want more power skip the CAI and save up for a good header/exhaust combo. If you want a noise maker, remove your resonator from the airbox. CAIs are overrated, especially the TRD one.

The TRD cold air intake is 50-state legal, and includes a certification plate that mounts inside the hood.

I'm running the Injen.

It has really helped the pick-up (especially in 4th) and the noise is badass. It has the bass without the rice burner whine.

Install was a cinch. The only under the car work I had to do was to loosen the front driver corner splash guard to loosen a plastic pop rivet and fit the filter on the installed intake.

The intake cost $260 from NewLevelMotorsports.com

@family tuning - did you install it by your own? I think much more of a power.. sound doesnt really matters because our box is automatic... hehehe...I like that kind of filter because it looks good..hehehe..
