As you can see above it's not that hard to do a quick search my friend.

Joe Z is one of the cheapest and best intake pipes you can buy. If you're paranoid about heat soak (you shouldn't be) then the HPS silicon pipe is available. Personally I have the HPS pipe and it works as it should. I only have that one because I struck a good deal with another CL member who sold his F.

If you're curious about filters, a lot of members use the aFe dry filter or the Tom's filter. However you will definitely not see any added benefit other than the reusability of the aftermarket filters.

looks like from what I read in the previous threads the stock intake has the best gains. This is too funny. Will the aFe filter give me some sound with the stock intake at least.

^ Pretty much spot on, Toyota did a great job designing the intake system on the F to be as efficient as possible out of the factory, hence the reluctance of most people to mess with it too much. The Joe Z pipe would make the intake tone a bit more aggressive due to it being made of aluminum. That would do more for the sound rather than the filter.

I recently picked up the Takeda intake before I saw FIGS comparison where it appears that both the injen and takeda are less efficient than stock.

I was wondering if this was due to the limited size of the cone filter?

I have considered modifying my Takeda to use the stock intake box and stock filter.

There are many intake threads but I like the Joe Z and HPS silicone intake tube.

That's my point with the last post, modifying the Takeda to function like the Joe Z or HPS.

take out the filter in the stock airbox, you dont need it and it only restricts flow
