does anyone have this particular intake? if so could you tell me the diameter of the piping... i have a TRD intake now and its cracked now a couple times and my bypass valve basically shattered in two pieces, also i've noticed with a coupler on it where the bypass was.. it keeps slipping off alot... since it wasn't originally mine, the dealer wont cover it, since i've already had the rewelded a couple times... it was off an 05, and mines an 07... i think the TRD piping is 2.5 inches, but i would like to know seeing its got a K&N filter on the end of it compared to the off brand one their gonna give me... anyone have any info regarding this intake please help me out... fitment/quality/issues... thanks, and sorry for all the reading you just did.

9 times of 10 you get what you pay for. in other words, if you like your car, dont use cheapo parts!

yeah well im not about to spend 300+ on a new intake... thats just stupid... all it is is some tubing and a filter... $300 dollars could be put to much better use... IE: hotchkis sway bars... anyone else...?

lulz dont listen to the noob, i opted to go that route 4 yrs ago, and have NEVER had a problem with mine, no CEL no Bad fitments nothing. i never used the CAI section i have it on SRI and i love mine, i dont justify paying 300 plus for an intake that doesnt do anything at all and ur basically paying for a badge thats on the piping. what i did do from the very beginning was switch the filter that it came with and bought a AEM dryflow and injen filter for it filters cost like 35/40 bucks and the intake itself i paid 30 at the time. so i spent 70>300 plus to have the same "whishhh" noise and no add on to power like every other intake out there. just make sure u get another filter for it tahts all i recommend

i do believe the bomz intake is bigger then the trd though

I have the Bomz intake in my 07tc and I have not had any problems with it. Sorry I really dont know much about the specs on the intake. For the price it does the same as the big boys "Brand name" intake.

I ran the Bomz intake and filter on my old car for a couple years and it worked fine, no problems. I would recommend changing the filter to an AEM dryflow or something better than the Bomz filter.

yea i just picked up the bomz intake 2 weeks ago. havent put it on yet. will be doing so this weekend. picked up a injen filter to go on it. going to be using it as a sri though. not planning on doing the cai pipe. painted my piping gloss black turned out pretty good. i was in teh same boat as you. i mean if you could find one used injen intake are good i just wouldnt pay 200+ for a intake.

an intake is like masturbation anyways, do what makes you feel good, there isnt much differance between a expensive intake and a cheap one, plus Bomz sells a ton of intakes to be crap at least he isnt trying to make one himself

ebays not always bad if its not mechanical, wouldnt buy Bomz camshafts or an underdrive pulley, or anything of that nature
