Like i said in post #12,im not dissagreeing that the TRD intake may not be made by Toyota.Im interested if there is a difference between a standard AEM CAI and the TRD CAI.

The only difference is probably the bypass filter on the TRD CAI.

I've had the TRD CAI for 3 years now and would never buy another one. The bypass filter cracked after about 1 1/2 years. It doesn't come with a warranty either because its for off road use only.

I got lucky and another member removed his and gave it to me for the cost of shipping. Otherwise, I would have had to buy a whole new intake. I contacted TRD about it and they said that they don't sell just the bypass filter by itself.

Glad you got that settled.

And that is why I didn't bother to buy the TRD intake. For less I got a better (IMO) intake (injen sp2024blk).
At least the exhaust, while not made by TRD, is unique. |

At the time I had a TRD theme going on with the Egg, that's why I went with it. I got a great deal on it though, as TRD was having a "sale" at the time. I think I got it through Sparks for $185.....cheaper than the AEM at the time.

Just as a heads up I found out further clarification for Maine today as a friend was mailed a letter about the changes. As long as the exhaust does not go above 95db you can run it on your car in Maine.

Now that we have all of the facts on the TRD blasphemy, what intake would be best...between CAI's and SRI's?

maybe it is just me, but the OP was about TRD Exhaust not the CAI
