AFE all the way

AEM. With the front foglight mod you can get temps 10F cooler, scangauge proven.

AFE for the convenience and growly tone and lower price.

I carry both in stock by the way.

+1 and it looks so clean and it never moves around under the hood

I used to have a Simota but changed to AFE

mastaofdisasta · 03-16-2009, 02:55 PM

I vote AEM. Colder Temps, thats my argument, although the AFE looks better

AlexNet0 · 03-16-2009, 03:35 PM

even though I have a cold air, I would prefer the AFE

seal the hood and there is hardly any risk of hydrolock

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 03-16-2009, 03:51 PM

i have TRD(aem rebadge) and i like the fact that i can't see the filter......

+1, clears up a lot of space and looks very clean. Both sound about the same under the hood.

What is hydrolock and why does it happen

33OH · 03-16-2009, 04:31 PM

Hydrolock is when your intake sucks up water and forces it into your engine. More of a risk with a Cold air intake as it's closer to the ground.

aem(TRD) comes with a bypass valve thats supposed to prevent that. not sure if its true but then again im not gonna drive through 4 feet of water to find out.....

33OH · 03-16-2009, 04:46 PM

I thought it didn't come with a bypass, but you can buy one separate?

But I don't plan on driving in any lakes or Yaris scuba diving either.

got this from their site......

33OH · 03-16-2009, 04:51 PM

Ohh I see. I do have that on my TRD. Never realized what it did, I just thought it caught water trying to roll down the tube.

JapRulezz · 03-16-2009, 08:30 PM

AEM all the way .... they invent really good stuff
but personally i would take an K&N SRI (low range rpm power gains+no hydrolock+gr8 heat shield+best in filtering+easy install) and they have the guts to say how much Hp it will gain

PHXDEMON · 03-16-2009, 08:56 PM

AFE for 3 reasons

Cheaper

sounds awesome

no hydrolock risk

doesn't look like a ricer pipe under the hood
