    OTT tune K&N Intake
    Hey, guys! I'm new to the TW forums. I hope I'm posting this in the right thread. A year ago, I bought a K&N intake because I believed the false marketing. The sound is alright, but I also have an OTT and I can't help but feel like the intake fucks with the tune a bit. I'm wanting to switch back to the stock intake, but I've heard a couple of people recommend the TRD intake. What are yall rocking with?

    Get the OEM one or the TRD one. Throw away the K&N.

    I have an aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2, but if I were to choose with what I know now from Justin's (OTT) research, I would get the TRD intake.

    Aftermarket intakes don't work well on MAF engines because they tend to skew the MAF sensor reading, not sure about the TRD intake but I'd have to assume since it's a Toyota engineered product it's been tested to perform correctly.
    The TRD intake won't fit 12-15 models without relocating the SAIS pump though.

    Do you know anyone who's successfully done it? If you do, how did it turn out?

    I have a snorkel with precleaner. It fords water, keeps dust out, and doesn’t use oil.
