    Hello everyone, I own a 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport and was thinking of upgrading the cold air intake. What could any of you recommend on this matter or should I just leave it stock. Or what performance upgrade should i go with first?

    Ok..so people can correct me if im wrong but the point of cold air intake is to relocate the intake so your not getting air from a warm place like right beside the motor, to somewhere like the fenderwell which is going to have cooler air.....

    So technically you have one (at least in the 4.0) because the intake tube goes straight to the fender...

    Personal opinion... I had one in my honda and spend quite a bit of money on it.. All you get is some sound... and thats when you open the throttle..

    Get yourself a better air filter (K&N, AEM, ect..) and stick with that...

    Supercharger. Everything else (cold air intake, headers, cat-back exhaust...) don't make a difference until you get the supercharger.

    thank you guys for your help. I think i am going to leave stock and maybe just a better air filter. I guess ill invest in looks instead of performance.
