Intake system
Has anyone had any experience with these guys? They don't list what engine this goes on. Looking to do something like this on my 22RE.

I have never purchased through them. I have always dropped the K&N kit in my Yotas. What you really get out of it will probably be determined by what other mods accompany it. My 2 cents.
I have read around here, and it seems some people think they are useless and would rather run stock. Who knows. Guess we need a reliable dyno.

cheese an rice.
In that case you'll need to open up the intake a wee bit. I'd also look into the supra AFM mod and possibly a Big Bore throttle body to get that true 3" intake.
If you want to get crazy:
Get your upper and lower intakes flow match and polished.
Get your injectors cleaned and flow matched(I RECOMMEND witchhunter.com).
Go with a cam.
Do a battery/intake swap.
Paint a rally stripe on the hood.
That might get you 120 hp...LOL!

Personally not a big fan of those intakes on trucks. They get dirty faster and can sometimes "if you 4 wheel" take in water. I just by an "OEM replacement K&N" which i do like. Making the intake tube bigger will not affect the 22r that much as most street engines can only take in soo much air before it can't take in anymore. But its up to you.

my 22re had a spectre intake arm on it when i got it, I took it off and put the stock arm back on. It fits way better around the radiator inlet hose than the spectre did, you just have to locate the mass air flow sensor housing to where it will fit.
And performance wise, I think that intakes do help out these 4 cylinders. (EFI's) Noticed a nice top end gain on my 22RE and 3RZ-FE, and they sound BA when you get above the 25000 RPM mark, you can really hear that intake kickin in!
No matter what you believe though performance wise, you can't really argue that a cold air intake isn't WAY more efficient than the stock intake system. I can't even count how many pointless chambers my intake system had before air actually reached the throttle body....

Alot of people don't know this. But one reason toyota put the intake hose where its at is for safety. If the truck were to get in a front end crash that was bad enough or enough to push the front in and break or punch that hose a good bit the engine would natually cut off cause it would create a vac leak so big it can't compensate for it. But the throttle body opening is only so big right? No matter how big a pipe you put on there it still has to evenly ditribute through that same size opening, ports, and runners... soo... almost pointless. The only thing really help full is a OEM K&N filter repalcement for street use anyway.

Kiroshu, I see where you are coming from, but you don't think that air going through all those extra cubbies isn't pointless?
I'm not saying intake is a dramatic increase, but I do think that the design is more efficient.
And my bad big blue pile, I guess the correct term would be air flow sensor housing.

IT really seems that way looking at alot of intake systems on cars. But theres really not much performance gain for a "street" engine not designed for high performance anyway. Now if you where trying to build and race engine and your built the bottom end and bored or stroked it and port and polished the intake manifold then yea if could prove some affect because of the improved cc's with the dame intake it could due for some extra air but its still not going to be much of affect. The sound you hear is just how the vacuum air is now running through the "non OEM" air system. Street engines are desgined to be quiet, silent, and smooth for passanger use. So naturaly the stock intake would be quiet. Now if the engine has s super charger or a turbo... its a bit different. cause now your forcing air into the engine and filling up the cylinders completely with air allowing for better performnace and some Econmoy depending on how the engine is set up. Only turbos and super chargers can force more air into the engine... not an after market intake kit..

Again, I see where you are coming from haha but like I said, you're right...there isn't much of a performance gain from a cold air intake, especially for the 22RE.
Now for my 3RZ-FE, which is pretty much everything that the 22RE wants to be, the stock intake system was a mess! At least 4 pointless chambers were in that intake system!
So again, no not much of a performance gain, but IMO a much more efficient set up. Probably about the same amount of increased air flow as an OEM style K&N, like you were saying.
Why are we talking about performance and stock 4cyls anyways lol

The 3RZ is just like you said the 22re's greater being. Better flow, better power, beter economy, and alil better reliability. The 3RZ intake system can't get and more straight forward either. Most people put those fancy cold air intakes on engines and well usually theres alot of perfromance loss on cold starts Especially for the 3.0... which does not like Cold air intakes at all. Yes I supose you could put a different set up on there that is more your preference in terms of location and maintenece i supose... 
But yea we better stop before we jack the thread. Lol
