No light with my AFE. I loved the sound of it until I put my TRD exhaust on. Now I can't even hear it, lol.

Haven't heard my intake since the TRD exhaust went on. Nobody believes me that the sucker just booms inside the LB.

I had leftover hardware but this intake replaced the TRD CAI so I figured that some brackets were removed previously.

Do you guys think a CAI (AEM/TRD) will make my car louder if i currently already have the Medallion Touring? especially under normal driving?

The Tanabe is rated 93db not sure if the CAI will help the cause. I like it to be a bit louder... especially under normal driving.

Personally have that axleback with the afe intake and I love the sound. As for cruising like the freeway it is a little louder, but not annoying. After I installed it though I noticed it has a mean sound above 3k rpm at WOT. It sounds very sexy when it's revving and doesn't get annoying at all for normal cruising

Thanks for the reply... I'ma hold off on the CAI for now, the sound gain seems only nominal at low speed, not sure if it's worth the $200+ investment. If I come across an AEM/TRD CAI for cheap I'll reconsider

Lol, you could just make your own

. Autozone sells the necessary hardware. IMO, the AFE CAI is adequate for normal street driving. Any more competitive, and you'd probably need something a bit more free-flowing. As for me, I'm perfectly happy with the symphony the AFE and my Fujitsubo Wagolis make together.

Yeah, right now I got the Tanabe and stock air box. It sounds great at high rpms but I need more sound at idle and around town cruising.

Earlier posters mention after getting their TRD exhaust they no longer hear the intake... I don't want that to happen to me specially after dropping 2+ bills. I'm also not expecting any performance gains... but I still want the AEM/TRD cuz it's got blingish tendencies

mrbond · 03-06-2009, 01:58 AM

^ yeah, I was a little disappointed with how the Fujitsubo kinda drowned out the nice growl of the AFE. But then again, the Fujitsubo doesn't sound bad...and it doesn't completely drown out the intake. The TRD CAI does look nice, I must admit. I'll try one of those out and compare it to a Fujita (since I see almost no one has talked about that one).
