Anyways, when I get my header, I'd like to come up to VA and dyno with you guys.

Let me know if you figure it out. I got an oil cooler that I'm waiting to install. But I've been wanting this intake. The fitting issue is what has kept me from buying it.

Maybe banjo fittings? Here is an overhead view.

Actually, it appears people are getting solid results out of this unit..that it performs as well or even better than competing unit. Yes, the badge ups the price, but not as much as you would think.

What about my dyno proven 7whp.... I guess that doesn't count?

Not to Matt (is he still banned?) or Nick, apparently.

Occasionaly, TRD gets something right. Blind squirrels and nuts, after all.

You're also paying for carb approval.

Post # 195. It just gets annoying when people talk shit yet they have no information to base their "opinion" on. Care to show me your hard data backing why you think this intake is a $350 TRD emblem?

You need to sit back and drink a beer good sir. Is your car tuned or is that a stock FRS with just a catback? Was any tuning done to adjust for the intake? Also what did the AFR's look like between pulls. If the car wasn't tuned the AFR's would be conclusive data to compare vs stock. Since you don't show AFR's there is a chance the intake leaned out your ride resulting in more power. Also you should know parts don't stack on parts. One of the reasons you see these gains is because in fact your car is basically stock. Parts don't stack parts HP. If we went by those claims my car should be sitting around 230WHP... Chances are once you get a full exhaust and go get a tune if you took off the intake and put it back on you wouldn't see that 7Hp increase anymore. wouldn't that be awesome ahaha. Also did the graph change after 150 miles? The ECU will correct over a time after a flash. Chances are you saw gains by unplugging your battery and plugging it back in and the ECU was relearning everything.

Also get out of the mindset that i'm bashing you.

Also my car has every power bolt on I can do minus a intake and i'm sitting at 191WHP 150TQ. I don't think a TRD intake would push me even over 192-193WHP in the same conditions.

It only get better bro!

mine just came in, gonna install it this weekend, just had a quick question for everyone who already installed theirs, did you guys reset the ecu or not? does it really make that big of a difference, i see everyone saying different things, i figured the ecu would have to learn either way, does just learn quicker if i choose to reset it?

I've read about every thread related to TRD intake filters but couldn't find the answer.

Does the $75 TRD drop-in filter also produce improved throttle response and low end pull? Butt dyno impressions are welcome.
