Installing a TRD CAI on a 2020

Got mine installed yesterday on my 2020 ORP. The URD extension cable saves a bunch of time. Great find.

I read in another post about using the bracket that secured the resonator in the stock intake as a mounting point for the wiring bundles. This worked like a charm also. I’m OCD about such things and have the wiring tidy and secure now.

Question - does anyone have experience with how this intake sounds with the stock paper filter versus the TRD oiled filter? My kit obviously came with the oiled filter, and my suspicion is that it is louder than the stock paper filter?? Perhaps I will need to try both. Initial impression is that maybe this thing is too loud!
 
Wonder what it would sound like with the Borla Touring exhaust?

I have a URD MAF Calibrator, S&B CAI, and Magnaflow cat-back exhaust and I'm very satisfied with the sound and performance of my 2016 SR5 now. Initially I was worried that the MF would drone and be annoying and too loud, but that is not the case at all. Has a nice note when driving, gets loud when you step on it, but it isn't obnoxious. I have heard good things about the Borla cat-back.

Good Question...if anyone knows if the stock paper filter fits the TRD intake box, please share!
I thought i remembered that someone said the filter size was a little bit different....
 
It should be exactly same. I have installed TRD Cold Air Intake on my 2017 TRD PRO. It's so nice. The sound and the pull that you feel. Use the TRD Oiled Filter and you will feel more difference. I have made Installation video so hopefully, it's helpful.

Hi All,

I was thinking about Installing a TRD Cold Air Intake on my 2021 TRD Pro. Any issues i should be aware of? My local dealer says the newest part number they can find only fits up to a 2013 4Runner. Also is it worth ordering the URD MAF Sensor Extension Harness if i am going to have the Dealer Install?

Thanks! Appreciate It!
 
Very similar to K&N - Here is a link:

Part: PTR43-00083

Amazon.com: TRD Performance Air Filter: Automotive

I also purchased this dry flow filter which fits as well. I do find that the Toyota one is a little harder to get the top on indicating a slightly tighter fit.

Amazon.com: AEM 28-20438 DryFlow Air Filter: Automotive


I have the same AEM already in the stock box and was looking to get the TRD intake, glad to hear there aren't any issues using it. Just looking for a little more growl out of this large V6.

The TRD CAI will fit years up to 2020. Many sites have not updated the year range.

But there is a better way to go: the K&N CAI is half the cost, doesn't move the MAF sensor (no wire extension needed) and uses the same size air filter element as the original. Performance Air Intake System

FYI, I tried the stock paper filter in place of the oiled TRD filter. Can confirm it is indeed a little quieter. Still much more pleasing than the stock intake, just a bit more muted than with the oiled filter. I prefer it.
 
Looking to get one of these intakes just for the sound. Does anyone know where we can find the best deals on these? And can we only order these through dealerships?

Shit. Now I see I missed one. I'll have to order that tomorrow or whenever. I also ordered a URD MAF Sensor Extension Harness for NEW STYLE MAF from URD. I hope all this comes in soon, I can't wait to do my first performance mod.

Thank you for listing the part numbers and descriptions. Made them real easy to find.
 
picked up my kit this morning at $200 OTD , wouldn't have order the intake indicator if I'd known you could just plug the hole with a grommet to save about $26
 
Do not know if you bought and installed the TRD CAI. But you might want to forego cutting up your wire harness and you and extender instead, It is a little longer than needed but I tucked it out of the way. Underdog Racing sells them.

have pics of how you tucked the wiring away? Debating if I want to order one or just go ahead with tape and loom I bought.
 
Potential dumb question here: Is the TRD CAI compatible with snorkels? I'd like to get a CAI, but I'm planning to do a snorkel for the dust.
