I saw pics of it... I would agree with a guy on TN saying that its a K&N pipe (polyurethane) with an AFE or VOLANT box and K&N filter... for 400 bux.

http://web.mac.com/porterfamily/iWeb/Site/Library.html look at that. i think its cheesey I just installed my AFE yesterday!... I LOVE IT! If u guys want pic/sounds I can put it up here for u... I posted on TN already.

 

[WHAT HAPPENED]

WOW i bet that "TRD" name on there will cost $500 :lol:

 

[Chipper57]

yes it is out, and yes you can buy it now. There is already a site out selling it at 300 dollars, and yes it does look just like a volant with a trd badge.

i think its going for 350 and up....toyota parts had it for 378

now who would want to spend that much ona tube and box

 

[Firdaddy]

wow a nother research lacking product that trd put its name on and claimes ad its own wtf is new now...:looney:

 

[xue-runner]

it looks almost like the gm intake http://www.mataga.com/accessories.php?id=44180eb12c2ec260c31673e27e3f85fb

i have to say tho guys the trd kit is way more thouight out. over priced yes but the fact that it seals to the original cold air hol ein the fender is nice. also the way the air duct seals to the box and not the filter makign it yet again more impervious to hot engine bay air. if they dropped the price 100 bux it would be a good alternative to the k&n kits peopel are wasting their money on.

I'm going to wait for URD's CAI HP claims before I choose... I think URDs sounds like a better concept... The TRD CAI looks just like my stock airbox how can it pull in cold air?

TRD did not release anything...they just slapped their name on the Volant kit.

 

[cahaire]

If you compare the two there is a diffrence in the way they are made. But the TRD is the same design as the Volant.

im not a defender of trd but i have to say your wrong man by a lot. uless you own the volant you have no grounds to stand on. the trd kit looks way more thought out. the volant kit i had worked great but fit like azz. i was triming the box and the tube and all sorts of stuff to make it fit right. plus there was a huge gap between the box seal and the fneder well. also there was a large gap around the intake tube where it entered into the box the trd kit the tube actually ataches to the box with a flexible coupler then the filter clamps onto a shoulde rinside the box that is part of the box allowing no hot air in the box. the other side by the fender actually has a tube comign out about an inch to reach to the inner fender with another seal on it once again sealign out the hot air. the design element is truely the same but i think trd executed it much better.
