do they make a acutally cai or sri i can't seem to find any pics.

 

ScionCanada or CanadaScion (i dont remember which order it went D:... ) but he has the TRD CAI and im pretty sure its not for sale to the public yet

 

TRD Sparks appears to have the TRD CAI in stock.

if that is it then it's not worth 400 bucks

 

I couldn't agree more. Doesn't seem like much for 400.00+!
another pic right from the scion site. Oh and they call it a PAI, not a CAI.

you'll be surprised by how many enclosed intakes match up to the open ones as long as they are made by a reputable company. So far every intake here will drop HP on low end where you actually use it and add ~5HP at 5000 or 6000rpms which you never get to unless you enjoy fuel economy in the 10s. TRD actually boosts HP at every RPM and has a bypasss valve for water

 

Hopefully people are buying intakes not just for show or looks but are actually using it because they enjoy fuel economy in the 10s

 

1stOne and 2tCornot2tC both have the TRD intake.

And I haven't seen dyno numbers from the TRD intake, but I can't imagine it gaining any horsepower over the stock one at under 3K rpms.

 

I am leaning towards takeda and trd intakes. Although still lotta research to do.

It's a daunting tasks picking out the intake. New cars have pretty good ones already so gains from aftermarkets are marginal....I think we are due for a new passive intake technology of some sort...
