    Your post is a big help. I am butchering my 2012 Tacoma now and appreciate the additional explanations over the tiny photos supplied with the Airflow snork.

    So what's the difference between the airflow and the arb safari? Or is it just all cosmetic?

    Depends on which one you're asking about. The old hilux one has a smaller diameter tube so I prefer the airflow since its bigger and had more air going through it. The new ARB is huge so I'm pretty sure the diameter of the tube is comparable. All three are ugly as sin but if I had to pick one on aesthetics alone it would be the hilux model.

    I think the main difference is the fact that the ARB reaches all the way forward outside the fender so it goes directly through the fender to mount to the existing intake location. The airflow is much shorter on the outside of the fender and has a flex tube under the fender with 2 90deg elbows to connect it to the intake. I doubt this affects the actual performance in any way as it is all just a tube for air to pass through but it opens up a couple more locations for possible leaks on the Airflow due to more connections.

    I think so - there appears to be some sort of check valve membrane at the bottom of the airbox - its hard to see but that is what I think is going on.
