theres no "the best" for anything, its really all opinions. But if you want the best sound, i'd go with Injen, they are the leading brand for intakes and i personally do like the sound of it. go on youtube and look them up

yeah injen is known to have a real mean growl when you're on the throttle. one of my friends said "O MAN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A HEMI IN THERE!!" not really the brightest person in the world.. but you get the point.

yeah i've heard injen sounds really good and has a pretty good HP increase. i personalyl have the AEM which sounds good and has good HP increase. i also like the AEM because i got it from Toyota so it didn't void my warranty and it has the dry filter which u dont have to oil

the Injen has noticeably larger intake piping than the other intakes which will obviously have more HP

I have an Injen intake, I loved the sound of that alone..and it just so happens that I bought and installed the TRD sport exhaust today, and it sounds AMAZING...i love it..i'd recommend it. Injen FTW.

it only does if they find that the injen intake was the one that caused any problem. otherwise a lot of dealerships wont care about aftermarket parts

if you're getting header, sell the trd exhaust.

pretty much... any aftermarket part you stick on doesnt necessarly void your whole warrenty... but if they are somewhat a part thats causing whatever problem you have, they will use that against you just so they dont have to fix it

yeah, but this is just what i've heard. the trd/borla doesn't do a great job at drowning out the rasp.
