What are your thoughts on the best air intake

I would not wish a header install on a 96-98 4Runner even on my worst enemy. I had a shop install it that I trust and it took him 2 solid days. He was a standup guy and only charged me 7 hours labor. The amount of welding and relocations needed is insane.

What's different about a 96-98 over 99-02?

I still regret not putting headers on my 97 when I put the new engine in it.

Now that I know a company makes repair parts for the frame I’m committed to wearing out this new engine.

California emission vehicles with 2 cats are bolt on to the exhaust and the transmission dipstick doesn't have to be moved at all. The installer had to create a new upper dipstick tube and bracket, it pops out in the "loop" in the passenger's side header. 01-02's also have less clutter in the engine bay as things were relocated and went electronic.
