    I’ve scrolled through a ton of threads based on the cold air intake, I am hoping to find a side by side comparison review for the best/worst intake. This is the next step for my tundra, and I curious who can point me in the right direction?

    The best one would be your OEM cold air intake that you already have. Adding in an aFe drop in filter to complete.

    The CAI designed for your Tundra is the best you will find for performance, longevity, and reliability. If you want something else that looks flashier, it's gonna be really hard to find what you are giving up for it. Just remember that you will be driving down the road with your hood closed.
