do a search on diy cai using the blinking search button at the top and you'll get info on how to make one yourself for half that price

Just a little info (as I have pointed out before), intakes do nothing but cause you to lose low-end torque (which is where you really need it). You may gain 5hp near your peak, but that doesn't do you much good when you shift 1 second later. It's not worth $100 to lose hp. Unless you just want it for the sound. Then buy away.

And please, you the search button before starting another thread. Intakes have been covered a million times over. Thank you

wow. smokey's regulating like 5-0 giving folks warnings.

intakes are coo, but after having a ram air and stock, i'd keep the stock one and buy a TRD filter for it - slightly wider holes, washable, and you gain a little power and lose a miniscule amt of torque.

TRD drop-ins are nice. I wouldn't mind one.

But I am all about the K&N. All highest gain of any filter, and no loses.

K&N! REPRESENT!!! *wall pose*

Yup they are. As well as the many American TRD products - just rebadged and/or reddened. Not that its bad products, but you pay extra for the Red.

Keep it stock, drop the K&N in and forget about it.

Edit: Might as well clean the throttle body while you are there.
