Just do a search on Froogle. I think you should be able to find the MIT for $100, and the filter for about $35.

Don't forget to do the deckplate mod too, it's just fun!

I just was looking at the same intakes! Avoid the no name ones on ebay and get a brand name one, preferably with a poly hose. Metal tubes don't dissipate heat and allow hotter air into the engine, which defeats the purpose of the intake in the first place. And, a lot of the no name intakes are a pain to install because of lower quality parts...been there, done that!

The Vollant kit is nice, but expensive. K&N's kit is cheaper but doesn't enclose the filter element. I bought an S&B cold air intake on ebay for $199 with free shipping. It has the poly tube and a filter element enclosure. They're not very well known, but seem to be a superior intake system to most others on the market.

When I get my new S&B intake, I'll post up some pics and let you know what I think about it. IMO, spend the extra money for a name brand kit.

Don't bother with ebay, you can get all that stuff from Jason B and you don't have to worry about fakes or bad sellers.

Here's everything he's got for your 2001 4runner:
http://www.burtmanindustries.com/lis...om=0&t_step=61

This would be my first choice for an intake:
http://www.burtmanindustries.com/zoo...run_volant_3.4

This would be my second choice:
http://www.burtmanindustries.com/zoo..._truflo_int_96

Third choice:
http://www.burtmanindustries.com/zoo...n_airaid_96_02

If you want to do it cheap, just get one of these and do the ISR & deckplate mods:
