Just checked their website and I couldn't find it -- do you have a link?Are you referring to the TRD Cold Air Intake? If you are, I haven't seen anywhere to buy one yet, but AFE is offering one. I've heard that AFE designs and manufactures the TRD intakes. So if TRD is going to release one it shouldn't be too long.
The AFE intakes are available now. Someone needs to buy and install one and get some dyno numbers. Who's volunteering?![]()
Are you referring to the TRD Cold Air Intake?
YES...........It states in the '07 handout propaganda that it will be available summer of '07.
Thanks for the info. How long ago did you order? Mine probably wont be here until mid may anyway as the dealer won't be placing the order until the end of this month when they get their allocation.I did on my crewmax and it pushed the order out to May. It was ordered as a "fleet order" which also pushed it back.
Personally, I am more interested in an effective air filtration system that enables me to clean the filter myself and not buy a new one at every service. If there is any HP gain then that is icing on the cake IMHO. If you can build one for me for $13.00 count me in.Drawing underhood heated air is far from "COLD AIR"
Yes even with the heatshields some kits include.
True cold,forced air doesnt come from under a vehicles hood.
Depending on who built and under what name its marketed you could be helping the 300-600% profit their netting off of about $13 worth of material and some lowbuck shmuck doing the assembly.:tu:
3-5 hp net :td:
While This is a slightly better config. It wont yeild any more than 1 or 2 more hp than the open kit. I have spent alot of money on CAIs for Porsche (pointless), BMW, and Benz. Yes I know "sucker". None ever got me more than 7hp (Dynoed). Ever. While I cant speak for TRD empiricaly. I'm gonna guess a total of 5 hp max. Personaly I would'nt waste my money on any CAI now days. It just doesnt make any sense to pay upwards of 400 bucks for 5 hp. I'm holding out for F/I on the Tundra. TRD or who ever makes a better product.The AFEs are a sealed box w/ a small "snorkel" if you will drawing air in from the wheel well, not the engine compartment.

I talked with my dealer (son in law) today and he told me that mine won't be in until mid May. He ordered it as a "fleet" truck and will save me some $$$. He said they are building those after they get the retail trucks out in the market.Thanks for the info. How long ago did you order?

I installed a very similar intake from Volant on my '05 4Runner and got 17 AWHP on the dyno. However, the 4Runner has a fairly inefficient intake system to begin with -- alot of air impedences from the fender to the throttle body. I also had a catback exhaust already installed when I put the intake on.Drawing underhood heated air is far from "COLD AIR"

Yeah, 17 is kinda high for any CAI alone. I have personaly setup 5 total. And seen countless dynoed. NONE ever got to double digits.I installed a very similar intake from Volant on my '05 4Runner and got 17 AWHP on the dyno.
