Replacing stock air intake with aftermarket one

Whats up TW! I am a new member on this great website, I have a 2000 tacoma 2wd pre-runner, with a V6 3.4L engine. I am thinking about installing this aftermarket air intake. What do you guys think?

You will get more intake noise, you may experience better acceleration. The K&N filter doesn't do good unless lubed, which may foul your MAP sensor. Seems a little pricey. The car in my signature has a similar intake with a K&N filter. I keep the filter clean and lightly lubed, check the MAP regularly.
Great sound during hard acceleration

 

Deck plate mod with an AFI filter. It's a lot cheaper and you get nearly the same results.

 

Buy an $80 one off ebay and make your own heat shield Or do deck plate mod. Spending that much on unoticable gains isnt worth it. I bought mine just for the sound and im very happy with it.

 

X2 on the AFE** filter and deck plate. (you want the pro dry drop in filter)

If you really want it to be like the k&n kit just delete the resonators.. There are a few ppl on here that have done it.

Im planning on making a custom intake tube out of pvc wrapped in heat proof tape. Will cost me maybe 45$ in materials.

 

One i got. Was cheaper at the time though.http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=191555969195&alt=web

 

Very few are actually smog legal in California.

The AEM Brute force is legal.

A deck plate with drop in AFE or AEM dry flow S is good as well.

I have a 6 inch deck plate with elbow closed off with stock paper OEM filter and its fine.

 

What would make an intake illegal? You cali guys really got it rough.

 

The patents they use arent C.A.R.B. legal or some shit..

Only a few that you can buy for the 3.4 are 50 state legal

 

Hot air intakes are all the rage with ricers yo. LOL

Gotta have that loud ass BRAAAAAP under the hood with no positive engine affects.

 

S&B is C.A.R.B approved. I prefer there 8 layer filter over K&N's 5 layer filter & they also have the dryflow filters available for the people who prefer a dry filter over an oiled one.

 

Looks solid, never heard of S&B but I would totally opt for a dry filter.

 

S&B first gen Tacoma Intake

 

I use the 8layer oiled filter & a prefilter on mine.

S&B are solid intakes, they do more diesel intakes than anything else I used to be big in to the diesel scene & was a dealer for them. They make good stuff. The 8 layer filter was a big plus with the diesels because it filters way better than the 5 layer K&N uses & the massive volume of air diesels suck in.

 

Where did you get the different filter from?

 

Both the oiled & dryflow are available from S&B you just have to tell them witch one you want.

 

didn't really see that as an option

Wasn't looking hard enough.

 

It says it on the front page of there site & when I called to order a replacement filter (I like to have 2 so I have one to put on and can clean the other whenever) they asked if I wanted the dry or oiled.

 

I like it, I just might buy one for shits and giggles.

I hate super loud intakes though.

 

I hear ya, I noticed my S/C whine quite a bit more after I installed it. But can't give any input with this intake on an N/A engine.
