not really, I have a Magnaflow exhaust also.
Sounds alot better but I have an automatic so not terribly interested in boosting hp,
I am running the exact same set up in mine, I have a manual though, I would say that the combination of intake and exhaust made a difference in power, either one alone I couldn't see making any noticeable gain...
Yeah, sounds alot better with the intake / exhaust on.
I love my Magnaflow, nice low deep tone.
The TRD exhaust sounds really good too.
Oh, also if anyone wants to get rid of the goofy handle thing on the stock intake, I found a solution.
Found a 1" nylon plug at Lowe's, in the specialty drawers by the nuts/bolts section.
Fits perfectly in the place of that dumb handle. (See pics above)
yeah, I found some kind of plastic plug just laying around on the floor in my house that fit that "handle" hole, I think it may have been packaging from one of my kid's toys we had just opened, you know, the packaging that takes an army to undo? lol! iI'll probably look for that plug from Lowe's, though, since it is black and the one I put in is translucent white plastic...
I was going to get one of those axlebacks from PrecisionMuffler.com they make for the xD, since theirs was a lot cheaper than the TRD ($270 vs. $450), and they used a Magnaflow can... but then I found a TRD listed on Ebay for $219 starting price, and no one else bid on it, so I got it for the $219 plus Free Shipping! And the TRD is pretty polished stainless steel, the precisionmuffler one was not... so, what the hey, I ended up with a really cheap and really shiny TRD axleback instead!

Can you post up pics of the magnaflow exhaust i have searching for a pic and i can't find nothin anywhere, how much did it cost you, n whered you get it from? im really interested in that exhaust.
Has anyone that installed the Fujita intake noticed a power gain? I hear K&N makes one as well, but pricey. I live in Cali and unless it's C.A.R.B. legal then I will have to take it off and replace a CAI with the stock box for smog.
Come on TRD, help us out!!!!! AEM, where are you????
