Is a aftermarket air intake worth it?

I was thinking about getting a aftermarket air intake, and was wondering if its worth it, just wanting some feedback from those who have, if u have one what kind.

 

I think so. I have TRD and it sounds like a bat out of hell at 4K. Makes you wanta keep your foot down.

 

spend the money on a lift

 

I pose the same question as the OP... what if i already have a lift though?

 

do u just have a trd tacoma, with said air intake, or is that some exotic air intake for the tacoma specifically

 

i have an afe and I would say it depends on what you mean by worth it. I like the sound and the little horse power, even tho its not really enough to notice. But as for the mpg increase or an actual large amount of power gain your not going to get either. Only do if you got lots of money to drop is what I say, otherwise save the cash for some nice rims or tires.

 

or headers, I am wishing i got headers instead of my intake

 

I have the TRD CAI w/ a custom made cover.

I have headers

 

I likey, did you make that? I want one!

 

make an extra payment? anything you want to do with 250 bucks - get a hooker

 

lol hoookers, make sure you kill her after to help clean the streets, you dont want to litter do you?

 

Had Coupe make it for me.

 

whos coupe? is that his full username? and how much $

 

120 bucks I think. Coupe is his username.

 

i had a K&N 63 series i and i took it off bc i lost to much mpg. i went from 16 17 to 13 14

 

Good advice. I'll be at the strip tonight then getting a private "dance" in the back room while dodging the herpes

 

Depends on your perspective. For me, I care about performance so no, I don't think it is worth it unless you get the URD intake but I have an aversion to cutting the sheet metal in my truck. The stock system IS a CAI so anything other than the the URD would yield only negligible performance benefits and then you get into a price vs. value debate.
