"Now available for the first time from TRD is a Cold Air Intake for the
Toyota Matrix. Designed to fit all Matrix models (no 4WD), TRD's Cold
Air Intake offers up to 11 additional horsepower and 9 lb.-ft of torque.


The intake features an aluminum tube, powder-coated in candy apple red
with a reusable, high-flow conical air filter. The longer, smoother
intake tube improves cylinder fill rates which in turn maximizes power
potential.

The new Cold Air Intake is fully warranted and emissions legal in all 50
states."
