I did interested to remove the sound tube.
However, I am not sure that just simply buy the Silicone Intake Pipe as below.

or TRD intake.

What’s your suggestion and opinion?
Thanks a lot.
Yes, I highly recommend the TRD intake if it keeps a/f ratio the way the factory intended because that indicates normal operation whereas running lean is abnormal.

I haven't researched those other intake pipes enough to give you an informed opinion on how they compare. My initial opinion is they may improve airflow but the amount of air provided thru them may not be as much as the TRD intake. One advantage is the TRD is warrantied for Scion whereas those other intakes aren't. Not to say the TRD intake will be bulletproof but it must have gone through some sort of rigorous development testing to qualify for an OEM warranty even though it doesn't apply to me (Subaru).
