^some of us know that (and other sites as well).... it still hasn't been proven to me that anyone has one. no customer pics... no seen in person... nothing. why don't you try buying it from that website and see what happens? i'm really curious.

Best looking system on the market. I bet the performance will be closer to k+n than injen.

For cryin' out loud - are you going to keep posting this over and over and over?
Like I said - email the freakin' guy.
Call SCION.
Do something, but quit saying it doesn't exist because someone here hasn't posted a pic yet.

Default trd intake

do any of you guys know why, some intakes say not for highway use?? that mean if u get on highways a lot it's a bad idea to get a trd intake.

The trd intake is available in chicago dealers have them but they dont have the info and specz. on the horsepower and torque. They go for $440 without install.

the ebay intake is correct if you compare the aem intake displayed on mcgeorges wesite vs the ebay the pieces are the exacts same, so for the sceptical person above, do the homework!
