    the differnce in preformance is not noticeable so just go with the short ram, it makes your car sound like a beast and not some kids toy. Try it .

    I guess its time to join the bandwagon and get a SRI.

    But I'll need one that's compatible with the TRD S/C.

    I am also trying to figure out which one to get. It just seems like a SRI would suck in hot air with a stock hood thus decreasing your engine performance. Seems like a CAI would be better. Can some of you educated ppl give me your opinion, I am new to customizing cars.
    I love my ride

    anywhere it's cheapest lol.

    look around on the net, there's always at least one site that's having a "sale" or look for a used one on forums. make sure they have all the parts tho. and make sure it's for your year
