If you really want to add performance through an intake system just get a CAI or SRI even then I doubt those will add much a noticeable difference alone. Full bolt ons and a tune would be the only real way to get a nice performance increase that would be noticeable.
No not crazy not expecting any power increase but since the TRD drop in will cost me about $50 and it's reusable I think it will tide me over until a decent CAI comes out
