Toyota TRD cold Air Intake Question

jabrackin · 10-21-2009, 07:29 PM

What would it do for me if I installed a Toyota Trd cold air intake on my 2008 off road tacoma? I have the trd cat back exhaust. I have never really talked to anyone who has one before.

It will give about 3 more hp, alot more noise, and be not 50 state legal.

chris4x4 · 10-21-2009, 07:31 PM

Oh....and give you a washable gause filter.

Give you a couple ponies, sound a little louder, a little quicker throttle response and drain about $350 out of your wallet.

98tacoma27 · 10-21-2009, 07:33 PM

Damn you 4x4!!!!

By removing the OEM intake, and installing the TRD one, you are ommitting the Charcoal filter. This is an emission "Device", and you could fail a test if the guy doing the inspection knew what to look for.

There are several people with one form of CAI or another. If you decide to get on I would suggest AFE. Same "benefits" only cheaper.

I concur. They are Identical.

The people that do the inspections here in NC typically just look at your vehicle and pass you. Sometimes they actually hook it up to a computer, or even start it up and actually do the test, but very rarely.

I just put mine in last weekend. I like it. It sounds throatier and it seems like the car had a little better pick up, esp when WOT. I live in CA and will burn the emissions bridge when I get there. Could always just switch back to stock for the smog check.

If you want one you can get one brand new now for $250 shipped. See this thread for instructions:
