As a 2nd gen owner that had a cold air intake, please don’t. I had one and took it off almost right away. It’s just way to loud for daily driving. It’s nice when you are doing pulls but for daily driving, it’s annoying. When you are going up slight inclines, the engine get under load and is loud. Like annoying loud. Had passengers in the truck and they were like “what’s wrong with your truck?” Everyone had to raise their voice going up slight inclines.

Just put one on my 2019 TRD off road last night. You can absolutely feel the air being sucked into that engine. Sounds absolutely fantastic, no check engine light or sensor malfunctions, and will make the engine breathe better. Worth every penny!

I put a K&N replacement for my stock filter. Reasonably priced and works just fine.

Just installed my K&N Blackhawk edition. Tip I’d keep your hose clamps just barley loose to allow you to shimmy things around until it all lines up. Gotta say it sounds so much louder and better than any of the KZread videos I’ve watched. Totally worth the induction noise and at max rpm the sound literally vibrates you. Truly transforms the sound of the v6.

I did a cold air on my last truck, a Ford with a 5.4 2-valve, primarily in hope of upping highway gas mileage figures. I’d previously modified the air inlet and added a K&N cone filter in place of the paper, along with a Gibson cat back exhaust and synthetic oil. Other than sounding better and making a lot more noise at WOT, it did exactly nothing. It might have given an additional 10-15 horsepower shot at WOT, but that’s not what I was after. I probably won’t do this to my 21 Taco. I’m not out trying to drive it as fast as I can, and it already gets practically double the gas mileage of the big one it replaced. I think I had some increases in efficiency when using a K&N filter in a V-6 minivan, but not as readily apparent on V-8s. Anyway, if building a performance vehicle that includes cam & valve train, headers & free flow exhaust, and other intake mods, a cold air kit makes sense. It does sound great, however.

Wow what difference nice just got tacoma trd off road a week ago

So are the rubber gaskets at the bottom necessary. My tacoma was totaled. Had the collision center get the filter out but they forgot the rubber gaskets that the housing sits on. Does the top rubber lining touch the hood?

I actually have the Injen Evolution Cold Air Intake and oh boy can you hear the the air being suck into the engine. Only complaint, if you need to clean the air filter you will have to disassemble the whole unit as the filter is self container. But oh boy does it sing. (especially since adding the RIPP Coil packs!

2021 TRD Sport. Installed this exact intake and paired it with TRD manga flow exhaust with pedal commander also. My opinion is ehh. My truck does not shift like this when on the highway going through gears, seems mine is shifting a lot harder and not recognizing when to shift. Bought MAF sensor cleaner and thoroughly cleaned it and didn’t make a difference. Anyone have any answers?

The truck sounds awesome!!!!!!

Honda Tuner here: (It's Relevant I promise). - The K&N Short Ram Intake (what's featured in this video); is not pulling in "Colder" Air. It's pulling the same temp air that the stock box would pull though the fender. If anything its actually pulling in warmer air as the top "seal" which sits on the underside of the hood isn't air tight. The slight gains that you might experience are from less air from restrictions thought the system and the engine harmonics (Which I agree are Super sexy) are from the intake design (baffel-less system). - Additionally; You're actually not "gaining" HP, what's actually happening is the overall power band is being displaced. (IE: Less top end power but more low end power.) This displacement depending on the system can be drastic. For Example you might notice your Highway Speed / Power might increase while your off the line power decreases.) A few things to note about Intakes are they come in two flavors. Short Ram and Cold Air. (K&N's Marketing department has since started calling their Short Rams "Cold Air" due to them discontinuing their proper Cold Air Systems). These older cold air systems would bring the intake to the lower portions of the engine bay closer to the ground to pull in "Colder" air. Unfortunatly back in the early 2000's when they started to become popular in the tuning scene, people unfamiliar with how engines work would drive though deep-ish water and hydro-lock the engines. While this Short Ram Might help the Truck "Feel" more powerful, I assure you it's losing power somewhere else in the powerband and finally; its probably HORRIBLE for offroad use since theres more of a chance to pull in the dust. With all that said, I have no hate towards K&N, I love and use their filters in my Taco and also have a Short Ram on my Civic.

I say the stock air box provides just as cold are as this high dollar bling.. All you gotta do is look. The lower half of the box has a snorkel going into the fenderwell. I think the power gain claim is maybe due to the K& N filter design vs cold air. I want to see the dyno sheet for that 18hp.

The stock airbox in the Tacoma provides cooler cleaner air than this pos K&N air intake. K&N actually makes decent filters (if it's not over oiled which screws up your MAF sensor), but there is no R&D behind a lot of their vehicle-specific products. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at the design (in the engine bay) and know that its gonna heatsoak.

So where is the difference in quality and temp of air?

Excellent video. You might add an extra step regarding hydraulic struts for the hood. You have to cut a notch out for the strut.

Only issue I have with that CAI, it’s a metal tube, metal retains heat longer. I went with AFE all plastic with a pro dry filter. I’ve had that intake on for over a decade and the filter is still like new and I’ve only replaced rubber boots due to a decade of engine bay heat wearing them out. The sound actually dampens over time, when I first installed my truck sounded like a race truck now I only hear it when I get into high rpms.I have my intake paired with JBA shorty headers & an a custom exhaust.

S&B quality is way better than K&N and you get a legit sealed cold air setup. The K&N heat shield is useless…

Even just putting one of these on for the sound alone is worth it. I have one on my Corolla and I love it. On the Corolla the stock intake starts right above the radiator under the hood while the K&N starts off to the side. It could be sucking in cooler air, maybe, but in reality the air is probably the same temperature. The power gains come from the shorter intake tube and higher flow filter element. This is what increases the noise. The system came with a dyno sheet that showed the intake produced more power but it was maybe 8-10HP if I remember correctly. Not a crazy increase but I'll take it. Looks cool AF under the hood too. Coupled with a good catback like a Borla and you have a really nice sounding setup without much fuss.

I’ve done my own testing with a OBD reader reading intake temps with a K&N. Temps where 30-40 degree HOTTER than stock! You CAN’T call that’s a COLD air intake.
