    I would like to thank Coupe for helping me with this project. I had a lot of fun doing it, hunting down hardware and replacement parts. I call it; "Refurbished" TRD Cold Air Intake with aFe air filter, and custom powdercoated aluminum TRD airbox cover. Its been so long since I had an intake on my truck. Night and day difference! The finishing touches are as follows:

    1. aFe Pro Dry Air Filter
    2. Vibrant 2736R Red 4 Ply Hump Hose 4"
    3. Vibrant 2714R Silicone Sleeve Connector 3"
    4. Isolation Vibration M8 Rubber Mount Replacement with Stainless nut & washer
    5. 3/16" Hose ID, 1/8" NPT Male Barb Hose Connector
    6. New MAF Gasket and Hardware
    7. New Aluminum Hose Clamps
    8. 5/32" Vacuum Hose 16"
    9. Custom TRD Aluminum Air Box Cover by Coupe

    Just installed my Volant one today. Anxious to see how well it does. Just got my exhaust done and went from averaging about 16.4 mpg to around 18.3mpg. I'm hoping the intake will step it up a little more!

    ^^it should. I love mine, but I've been using the throttle more so haven't seen a MPG increase.
