TRD cold air intake for 2009

dust aint gonna hurt it....you'll still have the real filter there!! and yep....just pop those small rivets off and out she comes....i think there are 6 rivets,all plastic.

 

I understand the CAI will make the truck louder. But how much louder?

Any approximations?

I already have a mellow Magnafow muffler.

 

it will just give it a bit more tone..........a little more rumbly, but not enough to where it will annoying.

 

man thats exactly what im looking for i cant wait to install it and hear it

 

gonna be great man!!! then......you gotta post pics man!!

 

yeah for sure, i need to post pics of my dual exhaust and my new tinted windows as well the truck looks sweet

 

hell yes.....we LOVE pics man!!!

 

yeah ill take some tomorrow or this weekend and post them for everyone to see

 

cool!!!

 

sorry i couldn't resist

I have a flow 40 and trd cai. sounds a little better imo. I am sure you will love it. keep us posted.

 

will i get better gas mileage if i put trd cold air intake? how much does it cost?

 

i would skip on an intake......expensive as hell........and not worth what little gain you may get. i'd go with a good drop in filter.....such as the afe pro dry s..............and you will have better mileage at a fraction of the cost of an intake. just a heads up!!! plus.......that fiklter can be washed and dried and reinstalled.....no need for oiling it.

 

installed the trd cai and i love it. also have the trd cat back. i have to say the cai made quite an improvement. more than i thought it would. easy install and nice fit. i cant speak for the other brands, but i would recommend the trd set up. as far as mpg's, i just clocked 17.25 mpg, v6 6spd dc 4x4 shrt bed.

 

Don't lie to the poor guy about the sound.

A CAI will change your engine tone a little, but when you wind the engine up it will howl like a raped ape. At redline it's all you're gonna hear.

It's rather wonderful

 

so should i go with the drop in filter or the cai?

 

So, I want one too. I see the URD one is about $300 and the TRD one is a little more.

Which to get? The URD one seems creative in it's plumbing out to the very front of the car to get the true cold air not from the engine compartment.

But I think that at speed, the wind blowing into the engine bay is cool enough. Right?

 

Depends on how hard you drive it. Intake air temp. on my scan gauge reads 5 more then what's outside during norm.driving.
