Removing TRD CAI for SXTH CAI?

[CAMTuning]

Lots of great discussion here. I have tuned a number of TRD Pros on the dyno, but none with an aftermarket intake. Judging by the power that they make relative to other hybrids or non-hybrids, I can't make a conclusive claim about whether or not the intake is a factor. I would assume that the gains going to an aftermarket intake would be somewhat smaller on a Pro than they would be on a non-Pro due to the larger MAF housing. If I ever get an opportunity to do the testing on our dyno, I will publish it for sure. For those talking about the intake versus the stock intake on a non-Pro, there are significant gains to be had without a tune, and as mentioned, those are much higher with a tune.

I get it, I understood what you were looking for…..I just used it as an opportunity to mention my CAI for sale should someone be coincidentally interested.

I know brother I'm just playing. I looked at your post, I'm just too lazy/cheap to deal with ECU or I would take it

If your ever gonna tune it, it’d be a great upgrade for ya

Haha will do !
I was considering Banks, but idk what I believe about these damn things. Too much internet.

We've discussed the topic in detail several times but to make a long topic short. There are always compromise in any intake design. Manufacturers, aftermarket and Oem alike have to compromise between cost, noise, planned emissions, filtration, ect.

Oems are going to trend towards a quieter intake, thats low cost, with higher filtration based on the air flow needs of their emissions target. The compromise is less hp. Aftermarkets are going to chase that hp at the cost of the other three. Not all compromise filtration of course (like K&N), but they won't care about overall emissions, cost, or noise.

So far it appears Banks is best for hp from what I've seen online. Sxth seems to be the loudest and makes nearly the same power. But no one to my knowledge yet had gathered and tested the filtration of all the filters yet. Which would be interesting to see.

Great comments.
Still failing to see how SXTH could be could be much different or provide any real gains v.s. this setup. The boxes appear to be the same size. The oiled filter and pleats look very similar... The consensus I'm getting here though is that no one really knows. That's cool. Life is full of mysteries.

You could get the intake and be the tester.
