    Hello TW I just purchased a 2012 supercharged 4.0l but it didnt come with cat back exhaust nor a intake. Will a recallibration of my ECU be necessary for these upgrades or will their tune work? :confused:

    Yeah Im aware of that since the tune remains the same, but it is mostly to clean up the appearance and maybe gain some noise. thanks for the info tho!

    I have the TRD S/C with an AFE stage 2 and dry filter. You will be fine. Don't go with the new TRD style CAI, it will cause you to throw a check engine light.

    Not enough air, its to restrictive. Its essentially just a repackaged version of the original intake. Go with AFE or air raid or find a older style TRD intake.
