Where is everyone buying from? I asked the local dealership and it's almost $100 more compared to ebay sellers.

I'd like to know this too. I am ready to buy but would like to get a better deal than dealership pricing.

I'm assuming you're from Texas, some ebay sellers that look to be dealerships from California are selling $365 shipped. I'm waiting for an out of state dealership to sell it for around that price so I don't get hit with tax.

I'll keep you updated.

Btw, you should check your local dealerships for parts specials. Many around me have 20-25% coupons but they exclude TRD parts. I know once in awhile they forget to add that exclusion.

I just received mine. I bought the one for $365 off ebay, even with tax, $391 with free shipping, not too bad. Its from Toyota of Fairfield.

Just picked mine up today, about to install. Going to swap it with my injen. Hoping to get better low/mid range response.

I know that's not what you want to hear lol but others said they're gonna do the dyno so I'm waiting like you but more out of passing curiosity.

Glad some others are experiencing the same low-end improved throttle response that I did! It's just been a couple of days, but as I expected my fuel mileage is down about 2 mpg. Not a bad hit considering how pleased I am with the improved throttle response and driveability. I'm still urging you all to consider the SS brakeline mod; that and the airbox really elevate the cars performance and utility.

[tennisfreak]

Red2Liter, before the TRD CAI had you done anything to the intake system? (other CAI, high flow filter for stock intake, etc) If so is the TRD an improvement over what you had already done?

Why do you recommend the SS brakeline so much? I think the brake response feels pretty good stock.

Just got mine done



For me, the obvious benefits were having a carb emissions approved intake in CA. But surprisingly coming from the greddy intake, I was impressed with the low end throttle response. It was definitely far more responsive than even the greddy. At the same time, I felt that power delivery throughout the rev counter was smoother. This is all with a stage 2 tune that was calibrated for the greddy originally, so I expect changes to my tune will make it even better.

While I too am curious what the gains are on the dyno, I'm not gonna put too much thought into it. Seriously, raw power gains should NOT be your deciding factor on parts. It should be how the car feels. It may not make the most power compared to some competitors, but just the changes I listed above was worth the price of admission for me.

Nice DSOmegaX.

I just pulled trigger on one off the bay for $365 shipped. Decided I dont care what dyno says I want one.

I hope you're not just making "lean" power. Get that tune readjusted for the TRD intake. The AFE/Greddy MAF curve was substantially different than stock. I'd rather see you make safe power.....

That really is a great price for it. I was sure I wanted to go FI, but this, the P&L header and an update to my tune might have me happy for a bit... hhhmmmm
