FYI,
dropped by dealer today to purchase all-weather mats.

Apparently they have the TRD CAI in stock, but the prices have not come out yet. And that's in Canada (it looks good, I saw it )

Any word on this in the US?

 

^I bet you they don't.

Hate to say it, but be careful what the dealers tell you. They aren't always as accurate as you'd expect.

Can you get them to give you a part number?

 

I have the part number....but I checked and its not available just yet.

 

trd sparks shows it on their site now. i called them and they said they would have to call back when its really available though.

 

Last I heard it was undergoing final testing this month.

 

Theres a link for it on trdsparks.com. However, states, NOT AVAILABLE TIL FALL... what a disappointment. Last I asked, Fujita was about to release their F5 intake for the tC2.

Descendants intake is coming out the 15th of this month

 

Can't wait!

 

anywhere to verify this?

 

I was reading cstc forums and two people mentioned that they went to dealerships and found out that the trd CAI is being discontinued? Can anyone here verify?

 

I emailed Scion last month about the intake and they said it was still in Development would be middle spring maybe. Impactracingzone.com has SRI and CAI intakes they were released from Injen on Monday.

 

I have not heard anything about it being cancelled. We are currently waiting for a production piece to come in for final evaluation.

 

ok, that's a relief i'll probably end up choosing between injen and trd once trd's comes out since injen seems to be one of the most reputable aftermarket for CAI's

 

isn't the TRD CAI supposed to be a larger air box than stock rather than a cone filter? What are the advantages of such differences?

 

I went to my Toyota and the guy said they have them, but they are beyond backorderd. I asked him twice because once before they told me they had it but it was actually for the wrong thing, he told me something like $560?? Dont quote me 100% on this, cause i was just dropping by before i had to head out to class. It's definately more expensive than the Injen though.

yup i told ya not to quote me xD I totally forgot about the trd sparks thing

Guess that dealership was wrong, again ._.

 

planing to buy an intake in a month or couple. what's a good intake? like, what CAI/SRI will give me more HP? or does it give same HP?

-noob.

 

No intake improves a stock vehicle's powerband. They usually provide a "blip" in power around where most variable valve systems kick in; high in the powerband. This can be anywhere from 1-100hp gained, but only for a brief moment.

If your buying an intake with power on the brain, you'd be wasting your money. If your buying one with the premise that it actually improves air flow and efficiency during all types of driving, you'd be leading down a better path.

 

yeah i know that it improves airflow. lolz so, what's a good intake that improves more air flow and efficiency then?
thanks.
