problems with TRD INTAKE.....
does anyone else who owns one have the problem of the clamps around the bypass tube loosening up causing the intake tube to be exposed??/ i thought at first it was cause i like to launch hard and bang 2nd gear but this time i was a good boy. i got home yesterday and the car was sputtering and almost stalling out at idle. got out and looked and the intake tube was fully exposed...... WTF....

You can always throw a little silicon on it (RVT) inside the joints to keep it from slipping... a tiny amount is all that should be needed. I had this problem with a Neuspeed intake on my Jetta, bu no problems on my Yaris with my Weapon R, and I drive some hard roads with coil-overs at high speeds.

How much did you guys pay for your TDR intakes? I'm seeing them for around $40 on eBay and that just sounds.. sketchy beyond comprehension.

Those are not real TRD's, they are cheep imitations... most of them do not even have a place to mount your MAF.... I paid $355 for my TRD CAI... I think you can get them on ebay for about $250 or so now... they are the same as the AEM with the water bypass

Got my TRD for $330. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the AEM a once piece intake and requires cutting for the bypass valve? Whereas the TRD is a two piece which allows effortless install of the valve.
