K&N Intake

Anyone know if a K&N intake is available yet for the 3.5? Part number?

 

What did the K&N website say?

 

I actually was just looking around for it. Still not available yet I guess.

 

It's not listed on their site, but I was hoping someone had an inside track???

 

Waste of money, just added noise. Your truck already comes with a Cold Air Intake from the factory.

 

Does the TRD airfilter actually add HP like they claim?

 

Does nothing

 

Some of us want the noise and looks!! Lol realistically might gain couple hp at redline but throttle response should be helped slightly due to less restriction so i know it's a rip but I'm all for an intake once they come out ! And I know stock is cold air but they do make oem quiet with restrictions cause 90 percent of the population likes a quiet ride

 

get a Magnaflow catback and one of these FRMFW

 

do not listen to any claims of higher MPGs either.

 

Your point????

 

The stock filter is better and more free flowing then the K&N. Also the MAF and other components don't like an oiled element filter.

 

All the K&N Filter does is suck the money right out of your wallet.
Stick with the paper filters.

 

How true. As it turns out, even Toyota's motor oil tests better then mobil 1, Amsoil, Redline and Royal Purple doing full spectrum analysis. After 40 years of doing 100% of my own maintenance in my own shop on the 7 previously owned Toyotas I have come to the conclusion there is nothing better out their for maintenance and repairs then Toyota parts and fluids. The oil analysis guys are running Toyota motor oil in their Porsches and other high end cars!

 

Don't do it. No performance gain and only increases risk to your vehicle.

 

Broken record.

 

I had my K&N drop in filter in my 2001 Taco for 15 years, actually I had it in my 98 Taco as well so I did not buy an air filter for 17 years, I paid like $30 for it, it paid for itself many times over.

As far as performance goes maybe it helped a little or maybe it did nothing at all but it does save money for those that plan on keeping their vehicles for a long time.

 

^^^^ that... I buy one filter for ever car I've ever owned since my first K&N back in the 80s. Not a small savings.. I've bought the cleaning/oil kits too but they last forever or close, longer than the car/truck I use the filters in. No increase in performance but you might change your mind when you get a cat back exhaust WITH the K&N. I actually have a TRD air filter in my Taco this round, but I wouldn't be surprised if K&N makes it.

 

What was said here ...spend money on something else
