This is what I do not like about forums like this. I ask a legit question for a reason and there is alway someone with a wise a$$ answer. If you do not have something positive to ad then don't comment.

Other wise I have the same question, what cold air intake has the best flow and looks decent as well?

Again, All intakes do the same thing. They take in air, also, I would get a tenzoR intake, save yourself some money. Buy an AEM dry-flow filter. Thats your best bet.

Dont waste your money on TRD stuff, if your a TRD fan boy, take the TenzoR intake and put TRD badges on it, no one would know lol.

"best" is relative.... there's no single correct answer.

get whatever you like.

My Ebay intake with a K&N filter pulls cold air in, had a spot for all sensors and doesn't throw a code. $65 + shipping...in just about any color you want.

Plus, since its so cheap, you have plenty of $$ left over to buy a bypass valve.

If a tC intake will fit then fine by me. Taking it off in December.

^It pretty much looks like any other intake, just a tube going from the intake manifold, past the battery down behind the bumper(it just says TENZO R instead of AEM/TRD).

Here ya go:
