In fact, if it does perform anything similar to AFE, AEM or K&N, people would be happy with it. I believe a lot of people are hesitant to buy a intake because they won't want to risk voiding their warranty.

If this TRD intake provides similar gains to the rest of the short rams in the market and it keeps the warranty, then that's a WIN

It's also CARB rated for those that need to meet emissions and don't want any hassle. I hate you CA. So another win for those here with this setup.

Why do people think this is a short ram intake? It doesn't draw air from the engine bay. It draws air from the stock location, in front of the radiator support, just like all the other "CAI" aftermarket intakes out there.

I meant short ram because the filter sits inside the engine bay and not like Perrin, AMR, FA20 which sits outside in the bumper

Can't wait for the dyno data so everyone can stop bickering. You all bored at work or something?

The size of the filter is 15,5 X 4.75 inches or 73.6 in. sq.

Sub'd for dyno results

mistawho · 04-11-2013, 01:40 AM

I want Dyno results also! Interested in getting the TRD CAI!

Cadenz · 04-11-2013, 08:49 AM

You guys think Subaru would hassle me much on potential warranty issues if I were to get a TRD branded intake, or treat it as factory compliant like on an FR-S?

bdub85 · 04-11-2013, 09:42 AM

In for results also. I might pick one of these up depending on the results.

tennisfreak · 04-11-2013, 11:57 AM

In for results.

Injen = sucks, crappy design takes in hot air from engine bay
Perrin = have to take off bumper and I dont want to do that
aFe = after reading about the exhaust debacle I wont ever buy their products

Not going to argue that this is the worst or best design just want to see if it yields any/decent gains; if so I will get one.

Minus the low RPM extra gas needed, the aFe sounds pretty mean and isn't too bad.

FYI, pulling the bumper for the Perrin isn't hard.

Damn, I should probably get to selling mine soon before their rep resembles Airaids....It's just sitting in my trunk.
