With the TRD Supercharger you will definitely need to do fuel modifications, being it the 7th injector or the URD fuel kit. This is a must... Do not let others tell you other wise...!!!
Read up on this link... it will give you a greater understanding of what is involved...
No rattling whatsoever-- Bass is deep & clear...The Q-logic box is well constructed.. Had it in my truck for over 4 years now with no problems... One of the best investments I've made in my long list of MOD's...:D
You may want to do something similar to what I did--
Q-logic 10" subwoofer custom enclosure... works great as a space saver...
I still have full use of my cargo area...
How 'bout we all meet up at Pismo for the 4RJ3 (4Runner Jamboree 3) on Aug 5-7 I'll be there along with many 4Runner owners and Tacomas best bet to get and meet everyone... here are the details...

Didn't loose any... actually stayed the same... with proper tunning gas mileage should'nt change much-- I still get around 18 to 20 mpg with normal driving...
With very aggressive driving-- pedal to the metal-- most of the time I say I get aroung 15 to 18mpg but then again I don't floor it that...
I havent' gotten time yet to shoot a good PIC of my burn out especially since it has been raining for the past two weeks... Yes my tires are not meant for Drag they are ALL Terrains set up for off road... that's why I was surprise to see that the power in my truck was still able to burn these...
Like everything else on your truck things will wear or break down regardless of what it is, the key here is maintainence... as long as you well maintain your vehicle it will last forever...
I have had the SuperCharger on my 4Runner for nearly 5 years now with no major problems or hitches...
Here's my set up with fuel upgrades and lots of other goodies... I put out a little over 300 HP over the stated 183 HP spec sheet... these are cranking values...so you can see that is a very huge difference... Felt power wise, I can smoke my tires from a stand still on 1st & 2nd gear...this is...
Putting on just the headers will add slightly more horsepower but nothing that is really noticable...I would go with the Supercharger-- the true power would come from the Supercharger itself, the headers & exhaust basically just aid in the performance... With the Supercharger I needed to do fuel...
Funny you mentioned that...??? Yes, my front passenger side inner CV boot tore off at the clamp-- I was lucky the dealership repaired & replaced it for free--They could not really determine if my 1"lift may had caused it but the service advisor highly doubted it-- My lift wasn't putting hardly...
