Hey Kakadaz, An an exhaust shop specializing in motorsport in Melb did it for me. They were keen to do a custom cold air intake for me as well, and I was keen but a bit hesitant so I put that off for now. I'd be more comfortable if there was a TRD one off the shelf or at least something that been tested.
I want to get a chip as well. I'd like to know who did Ellwoods.2012 Kakadu, Metal Storm, Petrol Auto, Tow bar, Twin exhaust.

Kakadaz mine has improved over the past week or so as well. Maybe the engine getting used to being able to breath better or something? Post a vid of yours if you can. Would love to hear Ellwood's as he's got the chip as well.2012 Kakadu, Metal Storm, Petrol Auto, Tow bar, Twin exhaust.

Mine has now travelled about 3,000 kms since fitting. More response on country roads, and towing the van. Some of the bigger hills on the Hume Highway around Gundagai and Goulburn still require 3rd gear (auto) with the van, but some of the other hills will tow along in 4th, whereas before would require 3rd.
Loaded van would be nearing 2.5 t, on a flat road can cruise at 100 k/m with ease.
