Beat to Death CAI

Before I get blasted for posting this thread, I realize that Tacomas come stock with a CAI. With that said, I'm looking at purchasing one purely for the sound. I don't really want an exhaust considering it's a V6. What brand would you guys recommend? I realize it's probably a toss up, but I'm just wanting to hear opinions.

 

What

 

Which CAI would you recommend?

 

I liked my Volant - only reason I don't have it anymore is because TRD quit making superchargers and fubarred my plans - nice and throaty even by itself

 

I second this. But I still have mine. Mine came with a dry filter too. Much better for dustier conditions, as it doesn't get clogged as fast as k&n oiled filters, and you can just knock out dust too.

 

Do you have a link?

 

aFe POWER 54-82342 Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Si Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System

I have one and I like it.

 

Best sounding on the market is the urd.

The worst sounding (to anyone in the cabin) is the afe stage 2 si. Unless u have the blower, this stupid intake resonates so loud when passing, getting on the freeway, or doing anything above say 2500rpm, it sounds like ur glovebox is full of change and ur flying over whoops.

Seriously, this intake is stupid loud and raspy in the cabin unless supercharged.

 

Seconded

I suppose that's why I like mine.

I have this, but the "ram air scoop" is optional for about $60 less.

And put in your vehicle

 

If u like having to yell when going up a grade (unless supercharged), then yes, the afe is for you.

 

I'm supercharged.

 

You mean "blowed"

 

Its night and day then.

Its NOT loud at all when blown. Its one of the quietest ive heard on the blown tacomas and all u really hear is the whine of the blower.

Na, its not a "awesome engine here" scream even... its just resonance from the plastic.

 

@tacomavoyager might have a CAI for sale

 

Yes. Pulling that shit off this weekend. URD TCAI.

 

Make sure the maf sensor seats flat or u wil have a whistle, and possibly unmetered air.

 

So URD or AFE if I'm just a V6 4.0L without a supercharger?
