TRD Cold Air Intake

I'm about to get a TRD Cold Air Intake for my 08 Tacoma PreRunner. I heard they are discontinued. There are some on ebay but I don't think they'll last. Does anybody know if they're gonna make a newer one. Does anybody know where to get replacement filter cartridges or can anyone tell me how often i would need to change the filter.

 

I believe they are discontinued. I just sold mine and I was trying to get a part number and couldn't find one. Toyota does sell a cleaning kit for it though. The filter is reusable .

 

Just out of curiosity, how come you sold yours? Did you get a better one?

 

Discontinued huh? Cool, collector's item now. Need to buy one of those cleaner kits...need to service my filter soon (1 yr).

 

My little girl didn't like it. She was ok with the exhaust but when I added the intake I guess it was too much so I pulled it out of the truck . It was too bad though because it was almost brand new .

 

What do you mean it was too much? I'm getting both on my truck soon. What was the problem?

 

Toyota just released a new part number for 2010 models, so that's why they appear to have been discontinued. The intake wasn't discontinued, just the part number that used to apply to the 05-09 models has been discontinued.

 

Any idea if there was an actual change besides the part number? I just ordered one of the old ones under the assumption that it worked fine on the 2010's...

 

Yeah, as far as I know, there are no changes, just a new part number.

 

Find another one.

Sounds like you got the new style, manufactured by AEM.

Not a lot of people with them yet, so it's a bit early to know how they compare to the older style.

 

Dunno. Like I said, not a lot of people have them and I haven't seen any qualitative comparisons.
