hi there guys just wondering if anyone has installed a trd cold air intake and if you guys recommend them.

im planning to get a cold air intake installed but still deciding between trd and also seeing what other options i have.

Got a corolla zze123 with a 2zzge engine.

Thanks guys.

yes works very well.

does your car have fog lights in the spoiler?
if so you wont be able to use the TRD pod filter
you need to get a shorter K&N one.

oh man thats great but i do have fog lights : ( so i guess i will have to get the trd piping and then buy a k & n filter. How much can i get the trd cold air piping for? Thanks a lot, i really appreciate your help.

yes you need to get a K&N.
but not just any, theres a specific one which i cant recall the p/n of.

im waiting on TRD USA to get back to us on the current price of one.
it will be a coupla weeks to get it from the US

not sure if it will affect the Jap zze123's but the guys in Aussie can't use the ones made for the US market for some reason.

Will see what I can find out about it.

its because of the fog lamps interfering with the filter :wink:

after a quick check, you are indeed right... as expected. :)

We sold dozens of these into the Aussie Sportivo scene. There was an issue with the fitting of the TRD filter but it could be done without reverting to the K&N.
Also there is a bracket that is hard to get at but must be tightened or the rubber elbow will split.
I think I've still got a box of spares somewhere.

that sounds sweet man. can you let me know how much it would cost me to get them? it would be sweet if you could let me know of how to get it to fit in with the foglights. can imagine removing the foglights because they do make the car look better. Thanks you.

unfortunatly TRD NZ no longer source these from TRD USA

by **doublezero** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:23 am

oh i see...so i guess my only option is to find some pipings that leads to just behind the fog lights and fit an apexi pod to it. Any ideas where i can find these pipings? or would you be able to supply me some, trdman?

its really pity i cant get the trd ones.

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:23 am

you may be able to order directly off TRD USA, or ebay
if fitting a pod filter, K&N would be my suggestion

by **TRD Man** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 9:24 am

TRD USA will not supply a retail customer directly. Warwick, I will send you contact details of the place to go ... later today.
