Size matters - 3G air filter is the GOAT

What is a 3g air filter?

 

It’s not as advanced as the 5G filter. Much less bandwidth, and slower uploads.

 

an air filter for 3rd generation Tacomas.

 

Air filters are a scam. How come we don’t need one for our noses?

 

How does one answer this without being political?

 

I don’t use a filter in my truck. How tf can you make that political? Take your air filter off and rev it up. That’s how they are supposed to sound.

 

Huh? We are just coming out of being forced to wear nose filters. That's what I meant.

 

Now liberate yourself of that stupid air filter and live a little.

 

OK I will but somehow I think were not on the same "bandwidth" It's all good

Flip it over...it has another 20k left in it

 

I beg your pardon? That nickname is reserved for the 3.slow

 

Nah bro. Toyota put some sorta governor in the 4.0L. When the 2G Taco was first released, a lot of the grandpas that bought them were complaining the trucks went faster than the speed limit, so Toyota tuned ‘em down. Same reason they locked out 6th gear in the tranny.

 

We do. They are called "booger makers" and our wives insist we keep them trimmed neatly.

I am getting super antsy for my '22 SR5 4x4 to hit the next allotment at the dealer (I am #1 on the list) and trying to price out parts that will be needed along the way.

But when I am shopping for them, I keep coming across the "standard" flat filter and the rounded "intake" filters... can I swap out to an intake filter without having to add any new components?
