Does anyone have this in their car yet?

I'm just curious to know if it sounds anything like adding a ram/cai, and if it feels stronger or not (dyno's if you have it).

And for all the ppl that'll say "Do a search", I did, and found nothing but more questions.

Thx,

Ive been wondering the same thing. I have an Extra Corolla 2003 K&N dorp in filter which i know works on the TC. On my supercharged corolla Auto, putting the K&N drop in i got 8hp extra at the dyno, have no idea what the gains or sound would be on a tc. Now that i got the Injen axleback "very nice muffler" im thinking of dynoing the k&N drop in filter axhaust combo. If i do ill let you know hopefully the guys here at the forums have more answers. 05 TC 4 sp .

 

i actually have the trd drop in filter. it actually sounds pretty much like stock. horsepower gain is minimal, if any. increased throttle response. i bought it the filter mostly in part because my stock filter is needed replacing and the trd filter is reusable.

 

TRD and K&N filters are exactly the same. TRD uses the exact same fabric. I asked about 3 toyota/TRD dealers (online,dealer,TRD) and they all said the drop in filter is quite the same as K&N, they use K&N's fabric.


samething buddy.


get a CAI

 

i would use a cai but doing so will drop low end torque too much especially needed on an auto tranny. I learned this from ray one of the members here. I wont touch the intake im purchasing the supercharger anyway. As of now the injen exhaust has increased throttle response. sounds nice too.

 

i got the TRD filter, and removed the charcoal filter. the intake definately makes some noise.

as with any intake, increase in power is negligible.

 

Isn't removing the Charcoal filter bad??

Where is the TRD Filter cheapest? like what site. ok thanks

 

should be the same

 

i got mines off of trdsparks.com

 

So no sound difference and a minimal gain?

Well, I like the fact that it's reusable, but I might just wait for the AEM... dayum, they're taking long making it CARB legal!
