Thanks for your comments!

One thing I did not include in the post is that once you install the TRD Pro intake (4A, 'foam method') you can switch between "music" (Trailhunter) and no music(TRD pro), by simply installing or removing the foam from the snorkel inlet only. No need to plug the TRD Pro air box inlet, since the "music" will be heard when both inlets are 'open'. Unless, you do not want to miss a Note!
Good Point !
I just wonder if having both airways open might set off the MAF sensor or something along those lines ( too much air for ECU to compensate). I might be overthinking it...
I'll try to have both "plugs" (if one foam won't do both) in case of dusty trails too.
I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering the parts for the mod. I'll report back if needed!
Thanks again and Good rides!!

Here is an update on this mod :

- A tip for anyone doing this: there is a small plastic cover that needs to be removed that gets replaced by the " basket" assembly. To do so it will require removing and replacing 2 of the snap cap things. Just push on the middle of them to release and once out "rest" them with your nails.

- the black cap is the one existing on the air box and the red one comes with the TRD elbow.

- The elbow itself seems to be "impossible" to fit without removing the airbox, but at the right angle it works its way in there and fits like a glove. Then then goes in the " basket" and snap clips.


I still plan on making a cap that I can block the "noise" from the inside of the air box when "needed". For now I am running them both open and did not notice a difference on sound or performance. Only a few days int it.

Cheers!
