TRD CAI or the AFE CAI SI

TRDSPRT · 10-13-2009, 12:12 PM

Im in a bind between the TRD CAI and the AFE CAI SI.. I found a used TRD CAI for 290 vs a AFE CAI SI for 296 new... Which one do you guys think is better..? I know AFE makes the TRD filter.. But does name brand matter at this point..?

I know this from an FJ forum but they are pretty much the same.

That link does help.. But I didnt see this question asked.. I was told that the TRD CAI gives you a 3-4 hp boost, does the AFE give the same..?

You should PM Chris4x4. He has dynoed a lot of different intakes. You aren't in Cali are you?

TRDSPRT · 10-14-2009, 10:22 PM

No in AZ.. and I have talked to Chris before about the TRD CAI..

I have the AFE... there both the same.. TRD intake is jus more xpensive that's why I didn't get it..
