CAI definately performs better. They both sound cooler than a stock intake. I think Short ram might be a little louder. If you've got the extra money, go with the CAI.

I agree. Lift + CAI =

I think only Injen makes a CAI for '04s b/c of the smog pump in the engine.

'Lift' is the "L" in VVTL-i (2ZZ-GE).

Here's a good way to explain it... http://www.toyota-europe.com/technol...es/vvtl_i.html
