    Still in the testing process. I've only driven about 18 miles since installing the intake last night, so I'll be following up in this thread after draining the tank and calculating the MPG based on a near-full tank. Stay tuned!

    I have a big gaping hole/scoop that collects leaves,dirt,water, etc. I need to block the hole off with a plate. Hence the K&N that doesn't need that hole.

    on shoot, that's definitely exposed! Ok, now that makes sense.
    You probably already know this, but for others who read this thread that are unaware, that scoop disappears from your fender when you remove the stock intake since it is attached to the stock intake box.
    Blocking off that hole should be fairly easy after removal of intake.
    Hopefully you don't get any errors after your swap, man. :fingerscrossed:

    I would imagine the TRD intake to be carb exempt, right? I mean, it's a "mainstream" intake, and the build is very similar to the stock intake.

    The carbon element that S&B is referring to is that white mesh type filter that's part of your OEM intake air box (not the replaceable filter). Assuming the TRD intake does not use this, which to me would mean it is not CARB legal.

    Time to smuggle a Air intake into your state.
    * I do not condone illegal activity. But it's a damn AIR FILTER folks.

    yeah your supposed to get a tune if you change your intake or else your ecu will eventually default the new intake to factory then its pretty pointless other than the sound.

    I have a OVtune waiting, and I listed an aftermarket intake. So hopefully it will recognize and adjust AFR accordingly

    ive also heard of companies that make pre tuned maf sensors and you just replace your oem one with it. not sure if that's snake oil or not or if anyone has actually tried it.

    not sure the gains outweigh the cost on a n/a vehicle though. that's also something to consider.

    Update; ran 2 full tanks of 87 octane (10% ethanol) after install.
    1st tank mpg improvement was .5 mpg.
    2nd tank was 1.5 mpg improvement (note; 2nd tank included more than normal highway driving. I drove about 120 more miles on the highway than typical due to a small road trip to the coast)

    It looks right at home with the color scheme:thumbsup:
    Curious to see if you'll see any long term changes
