My question is WHY would you possibly want any conversion that resulted in drawing HOT air into the intake which instantly REDUCES your horsepower? I learned this in flying airplanes, you pull the "carburetor heat" lever and rather than fresh air coming in from outside the airplane, hot air from inside the engine compartment is directed into the intake--result--instant and significant drop in RPM's. That leads me to believe that Toyota knew exactly what it was doing when it put the intake outside of the engine compartment to draw nice fresh ambient temperature air.
No offense to anyone, but the pictured conversion looks like a reduce horsepower "bling" option to me. ;-)
