    Do the deckplate mod and keep your stock filter in. Same as the K&N with better filtration and a lot more $$$ in your pocket.

    Yeah deck plate is a good mod. however, if you are set on getting a CAI, AFE makes some good ones. My recomendation would be AFE pro dry CAI stageII. and the other option would be to get a AFE drop in filter for ur tacoma and just go from there. K&N ive heard can actually cause you to lose HP in some cases. So best bet would be either AFE CAI or deck plate mod

    Do the Deck plate mod and get a AFE drop in filter, you'll be happy with results and sound. :)
