I’m very interested in the sixth element air intake, but I’m afraid that if the dealership sees it for service, they might get all weird, and say that the car is modified. Technically it’s probably 49 state legal I live in California so I’m sure it’ll be illegal so I would have to put the stock airbox back in for emissions testing.

also been interested in this and wondering how it would affect the dealerhsip and warranty etc. I do enjoy the sounds from what i've heard in various videos. I have a TRD Pro and i'm wondering if much like subaru's there is some sort of baffle or noise canceler that subdues the sounds from the turbo. Even with windows down on the Pro there's not much report from the turbo.

I have the TRD Pro Cold Air Intake that came with my Pro. I’m thinking changing to the one posted above.

I have the OTT tune on my Pro, it says the Intake requires Pro to be tuned. Does the OTT Tune cover this or do I need a different tune?

You would need a custom MAF scale after installing the Sxth Element Intake due to the larger factory MAF housing on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter.

Not doing so will result in a CEL, this is consistent with any intake that was originally designed for the smaller MAF housing of the non-Pro/Trailhunter trims.

The same is true if you install the TRD Pro/Trailhunter airbox onto the smaller MAF housing, requires custom scaling.

"Fits but tuning required" Yeah, um, how do you do that?

I guess I will just wait for a bigger one built for the Pro, the K&N has the same issues. Wonder how long until the ones for the larger housing will be offered?

OTT is capable of custom MAF scaling if needed.

I’ve heard K&N brings other issues related to design flaws rather than tuning needs, would avoid personally. Keep in mind there are no gains to be had going aftermarket with the stock turbo. It’ll sound good, though!
