no such thing as cheap trd parts, check the forums clasiffieds, someone might have one for sale. the best price range ive seen is 325-360. your paying for the name, you can get other brands (AFE is dry , volant- which now can be bought with dry filter etc.),, somewhat cheaper than that, ( 260-300 if you search) even if they come with the WET filter , just make sure you buy a DRY filter to replace it. the oil from the wet is what fouls the MAF sensor & thats when you have problems, but ive never run into anyone who needed that costly a repair, most notice some problem (bad gas milage, stalling , rough running, etc.) long before anything serious happens. then just clean or replace the maf. by the way , the stock box is already a true CAI, some others are not. i myself bought the volant , installed a dry filter, sealed leaks & holes, then ran a rubber coupling out the widened fender hole, so now only the cooler air flows in. man, 3500 seems mighty high, & also, far as i know the trd unit is pretty much the same as afe.
