TRD. I just installed one. I findk a crisper response and a sucking like slight growl sound. If that makes sense.

Not bad looking.

How's install on those things? Im pretty car retarded and was planning to get one but dont know if I should attempt an install. I just put my HiD's on this week and did my first oil change, thats quite an accomplishment for me...lol

The install went fine, once the filter box is installed you will need to kinda lift it/move it to get the cover on. I think when tightening down the box the shape changes making the cover difficult to get on. I had to lift mine up from the rear of the box after it was installed to get the cover on right.

But I would put it on the level of an oil change. Pretty easy.

The TRD and AFE are the best designed intakes out there, hands down.

I'm running the K&N, and I like it alot. I have had to modify it slightly to get better performance out of it, but as of now, my MAF accuracy is damn near perfect.

I would not recommend the URD intake.

I found a used one that Im thinking of buying. its got quite a bit of miles on it though (probably really dirty) and I was thinking of just replacing the cone filter. Will replacing the cone filter make it (practically) brand new? Or are there others parts that need cleaning too?

You will either need to clean the filter or get a new one. IF the intake is cheap enough, get a dry filter. No need to oil. No risk of over oiling.

The rest of the intake can be lown out with compressed air. Push a microfiber towel through it to pick up any dirt/dust. Hit all the outside parts with a mild cleaner and shine them up with a good protectant. (303 brand or better). If the clamps and screws are dingy looking, you can always get replacements for it them. Make sure the MAF filter gasket is in good shape as well. And as long as the pieces don't have any cracks I would say your good to go.

Alot of people say the location of the filter could be prone to water etc etc. I guess it could. A pre-filter screen could be used, I just can't comment on how it would reduce performance. The only other down side I saw was cutting though the metal to get the pipe through. Kinda hard to make it go back to 100% if ever needed. Outside of that, I thought it looked good. I like the URD MAF cailbrator better though. I want one bad.
