    So I'm looking at jumping on this TRD CAI group buy that ends in a couple days but reading a couple of reviews, I'm not sure exactly what the product entails. I have a TRD Air Filter on my 09 and am wondering if the CAI already has a filter build in that would take the place of the TRD Air Filter I have now......or will they work together. A couple of reviews on the forums say a different things.......I'll keep searching for answers, just wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks guys
