    Obvious using the word “best” is subjective but what’s the best aftermarket CAI to use on 2015 with Supercharger? I’d buy a TRD CAI if I could get one to fit because I don’t have to do emissions tests where I live!!

    the CAI is just going to make noise, not actually get performance gains. You should get LT headers with the cat delete, and a Y pipe :D

    The one that your truck came with, the stock air box. Nothing colder about the air that a "CAI" sucks in versus the stock intake.

    You've already got the best mod you can do for your truck horsepower/torque-wise (supercharger)...don't waste money on a CAI. Spend it on fuel mods and a smaller pulley to get more ponies out of the supercharger

    A CAI on an NA motor just makes sound, but on a supercharged 4.0 it can help lean out the mixture to create more power on the rich TRD tune, which is why Toyota states it will void the warranty when combined with the SC. Running too lean will cause bad things in a forced induction motor possibly leading to needing a new motor. I'd be sure to have the upgraded fuel pump first and an AFR gauge to know whats going on. As to specific brands I have no recommendations.

    Will an upgraded fuel pump affect warranty?
