Which is the BEST intake for the Yaris?

I have an AEM intake in my Yaris.

It's certainly not a super mod, but it helps the car through the midrange RPMs.

Looking closely at the designs of both the AEM and Fujita, I would say you cannot tell the difference between the two in terms of performance. The tubing of each intake is very similar, and the filter is situated in the lower area of the engine bay, well away from the hottest air circulating in the engine area.

Considering the filter of each intake (AEM, Fujita, TRD), there may be differences between the filters that affect the performance. But I don't know anything about the TRD and Fujita filters to make a proper comment.

dngz has a WR short ram intake, so maybe he can add a comment here about his experience with a short ram intake.

I have an automatic so that rules out the Fujita.
Too bad too, because I liked the placement of the filter and easy access. Would have been 30 mins faster in removal and cleaning vs. the AEM and TRD.
The location of those filters is out away from the engine down below the headlight.

But the benefit of that is the AEM and TRD is getting cooler air and at less risk of getting wet!
Don’t know if the TRD filter is small enough to fit through the hole that is left after the removal of the factory air box but the AEM is too big.
Front wheel and splash guards must come off.

The AEM is easy cleaning it is DRYFLOW Synthetic filter eliminates any warranty concerns is much easier to clean and since you don't have to oil after cleaning, and service time is cut by approximately 90%! Just soap it, rinse it, shake it dry and go!

I don’t know if the TRD is easy clean.
But I do see the TRD has the bypass installed just incase of water. However I don’t see how that will happen unless you try to cross a flooded road where you see people in a canoe having fun in the flood watered streets. Who knows how much air flow it restricts with it on there?

Anyways that’s my .02cents worth on my research b4 buying mine, the AEM cold air intake.

Thank you very much. I'm glad to be back even though i checked this site everyday after being gone but like I said happy to be back. Im in a tight decision here because I personally like the Fujita but I have an automatic but they may come out with a auto or somethin you never know if not I may go with the AEM.
