Default Comment on these mods please:
Yes I've searched and found diddly, so I'd like to hear your experiences with:

TRD air filter
TRD muffler
TRD sway bar
TRD shocks
Pioneer premium sound

Thanks, amigos!

TRD Muffler sounds nice. I have a Strup muffler but still like the TRD. That's the only input i have.

I love my trd muffler nd trd filter is not bad. but doesn't mean all trd is best choice. For the price. Sometimes it isn't worth it. My 2 pennies

Thank you.
I am also looking for the convenience of having it all done at once and rolling it into the loan rather than piece by piece over time and paying cash each time.

You are probably right

Paying for convenience I know

Nah. I love them. But I'm kinda over with the whole exhaust thing. I'm selling the headers nd midpipe too. Funding for other mods. May keep the filter just cause I may want a stock look in the future

The pioneer premium you mean the step up from basic stock or the full navi?

I got the step up from basic stock scion and I like it. nothing fancy but at least has preouts for amps

I wanted the pioneer stereo for the pre-outs since I use the I-pod cable. BUT, since the i-pod cable is acting up, I don't care...I use the TRD suspension and it fine. I still never looked up the spring rates vs. stock and what not. I like the fact it's a bit lower with that rake to it...The xD really can benefit from good tires....Since Labor Day when summer shut off in Chicago and it's been averaging 55 degrees since then, and now all this drizzly rain, I can't get the tires to hook up....

As for a TRD filter, scrap that and install a conical filter form Autozone. way cooler sounding and much better throttle response.

I hear a sway bar is good on this car. I again, never got one. I am still leary of making the car tail happy after spinning it into a guardrail...in the rain....
But now the car needs brake pads. Odd for only 27K. My xB has 47K on original pads.

Setting a bad example using bad words like scrap that. say its nice but.... lol . but yes its a better option. best first mods for the d are springs, spectre cone filter and the sways.

I love trd, but a lot of what your paying is just for the name and "warranty" with the dealership.

Picking up a 2012 manual on Thursday. Can't wait. Been driving my current car for 13 years, it's about time for a change.
