The growl my TRD cai makes was almost startling at first. Tough sounding indeed. Installed my snorkel and it pulls so much air through at WOT, the grate on the snorkel vibrates pretty loudly.
It sounds like a ricey muffler. It's kind of cool sounding, cause it's only after about 3500 rpms. Otherwise it would start getting annoying. I did wrap a little e-tape around the outer frame in a couple places to shim it out, it helped a little. 
Definitely happy though. With the addition of the URD crossover and a Magnaflow to go with the CAI, the Low end torque has improved, so at 5980 lbs on the CAT scales it really helps get this beast moving.
I do have a slight whistle (possibly the WT rain gaurds creating it off the snorkel) but not enough to bother me.

Did you plug the hole in the side of lower box, or was it plugged when you bought the whole unit preassembled?

oof. it's been a long time since i set it up. but if i recall correctly, there were no holes in the lower airbox... or if there was, that there was a grommet/plug provided to fill it in.

I purchased my order pieced out from camel back. There was a hole in the lower box that i plugged, as well as a hole next to one of the grommets that i left alone, should that be plugged?

After digging through this thread for the 100th time i found my answer, just sealed the hole on bottom of box that is adjacent to grommit with silicone caulking. Thanks again for all your help

You can definitely hear a whistle, it almost sounds like an STI turbo but not as loud. I also have mine hooked with the Magnaflow exhaust (which I installed before) so it's getting a bit more throaty from that. It is more of a "Whisp" than a whistle. It's very subtle. But after dropping in the intake, the sound is much deeper with the Magnaflow. But, not as deep as a pair of Flowmasters would be.
All in all, I think the TRD intake is an awesome addition. Also, since the pictures are not pulling from photo bucket in the first post, here is our full step by step install ( TRD Intake Install 4Runner). Also the Magnaflow install: Magnaflow Install 5th Gen Runner

for those with the whistle, are you running the stock filter or the TRD filter? I'm running the stock filter and hear no whistle...
The TRD one has the steel mesh like a K&N I believe, which could cause the whistle.

I apologize for the delayed response. Yes it worked. I had everything except for the filter plug meter. Which I just capped off with a standard black plug.

Does anybody have actual part number for the whole unit? My local dealer cant seem to find it and asked for a part number. I have a 16 Limited, is it one part number fits all or are they by the models? Whats the cheapest place to buy it if the dealer cant find it? Thanks
