Best Price, HP gains, personal preference. Whichever comes out on top in those three criteria
I have the trd intake and exhaust. I don't know if the intake made a difference cause I've had it since I got the car, same with the exhaust but I love the exhaust note. It's not raspy, its mellow, and super clean.

i would go with injen intake, or descendant intake....as far as exhaust descendant sounds good. If you want an exhaust i will sell you my hks axleback for 300 with shipping included.ive only had for about a month or so. Im only selling because since i have the headers i would like to put a full catback on the car

Agreed 100%. TRD is designed for the car specifically by Toyota. everything is bolt on perfectly and fits like a glove. horsepower gains are whatever someone wants to tell you but all TRD parts are designed to give you positive gains. Plus the TRD CAI wont allow your car to potentially hydro lock. Although it all comes down to personal preference, spending the extra money on TRD will save you a lot of potential headaches and money fixing your car in the future from aftermarket parts.

understandable, but i know that was all for the 1st gen. i dont think b&m could have made the ss for the new ones since its a cable relocator under the hood. the new CAI looks like they would have made it since its the same style a OEM. i wish i still had the box but i do know the ss was made in canada lol. so idk if anyone else might have any thoughts. i wish it would just say on their website but noone wants to admit that they dont physically make the product
