Deck plate mod

I know this has been covered hundreds of times and everyone has there own opinion, but is it safe to do the deck plate mod with a K&N drop air filter, and also would hot air not be an issue?

 

Yes its safe.. and i actually just tested running with mine closed and opened now that i have the ultraguage, noticed about a 2 mpg increase with it open fwiw

 

did you do the 4 inch?

 

6

 

No check engine lights?

 

Yes...it is safe.

I had that setup on my 96 tacoma years ago. Kept the deck plate open 95% of the time (6" deckplate).

The only reason (that I can think of) for getting a check engine light...is if you're OVER OILING your K&N filter. Too much oil on the filter results in the oils getting all over the MAF sensor.

 

I'll probably do it

 

You should do it.

 

Best easy mod! i have it ,its great.

 

DO IT!

 

He's gonna do it...

 

He better do it...

 

I should do this too..

 

I don't know what it is, but I wanna do it

 

take stock air box
cut big hole in box
put removable cover on big hole

win

 

You should do it.

 

should I really do it?

 

if you do not use a "sensor safe" silicone to seal the deck plate ring to the air box then you could throw a code

 

You should definitely do it. So should the OP. You guys need to do it.
