V8 TRD CAI on the 4.0 V6?

My new to me 2009 4.0 V6 came with a TRD CAI already installed. I had not researched intakes prior to buying the truck, and the Toyota dealer I bought it from didn’t say much about it.

Well, today when I went to research what sort of replacement filters are available for the CAI I discovered the intake on my truck does not look like the one you’d find when searching for a 2009 4.0 V6 CAI. Instead, it appears the one installed on my truck is the CAI designed for the V8 Tundra.

Is this a common thing, or did the previous owner screw up? I should note that the truck runs and drives great. No CELs or issues so far.

 

Post some pics up of the one in your truck.

 

I wanna say there was a former version of the TRD CAI that was made by Volant or aFe or someone like that...

I have the newer one that I just put on, it's weaseled in there pretty good, and I have a hard time thinking you could get the wrong thing in there without some rather serious kajiggering. But I could be wrong.

Edit: yeah, that one:

Yep, that’s the one that’s on mine. Thanks!

 

Trash that oiled filter and grab an AFE Pro Dry filter for it. No oil and you can wash it off with water and reuse.

 

Thanks for the advice. About to order the AFE now.
