    so ok is the trd cold intake just as good as other ones??

    This is a dumb question but could u put a blowoff valve on a cold intake, and still have it make the noise as if it was a turbo??

    Then how bout doin like the s-pipe, and bigger pipe from the resonator back?? Also do different spark plugs help out in anyway for gas mileage???

    almost all intakes are the same - larger diameter pipes with an open intake element. Streetwise, you won't notice the difference between the different brands.

    A blowoff valve on a regular intake is 2 things:

    1. Useless, since there's no back pressure to even open it, let alone guard the engine from.

    2. Rice. Plain and simple.

    Getting larger pipes (header, s-pipe, mid pipe, axle back) will boost performance. In order, I'd do the cat back 1st, then the s pipe, then the header (since opening up the restrictions closer to the engine before the others make no sense)

    Toyota oem plugs are some of the best you can get. IF there were another plug that boosted performance, you wouldn't really notice it unless you re-did the entire ignition, or at least added hi-performance coils.

    Hope this helped a lil...
