Cold Air Intake Questions

Hey guys,

I am thinking about getting the TRD Cold Air Intake (only because it is 50 states certified for Smog).

For those of you who have a CAI, is it worth $400? BZ told me he likes the throttle response and it makes the FJ sound a little better and doesn't really affect MPG all that much... just wanted to get a little more feedback before deciding to purchase or not.

Thanks!

What about going the AFE route? It is basically the same as the TRD but not nearly as much coin

It's hard to get one certified for California. That's the only reason why I was thinking about the TRD one.

Nestor gave me a link to the Amazon page and said that specific model is certified for all 50 states. I just really don't feel like taking it off and putting the stock one back every 2 years for smogging.
