Some CAI Systems (Perrin) only provide gains at +4krpm and actually reduce low end torque. I could care less about 2whp at 6k. Drivability in stop and go traffic seems like a much more practical performance improvement. It's somewhat surprising to me that everyone only seems to care about peak tq and hp.

Who has the best price on the TRD intake? Would the car benefit or require a tune with this intake?
No tune necessary. It's a bit pricey but I like mine. I think there are some dealers who sell them on eBay that have the best pricing.
