K & N intake

Has anyone installed the K & N intake model

$300 63-9026 K&N Cold Air Intake System: High-Flow Air Filter, Increase Performance & Towing: Compatible with 2005-2023 TOYOTA: Tacoma, 63-9026

63-9026? If so how does it sound and can you feel the increased 8 horsepower? Also is it giving you more gas mileage?

 

Saw somebody already mess up their MAF sensor from installing one.

 

Very little benefit if any. I would suggest not installing one since there's more negative potential for it.

 

Don't do it... complete waste of Money and doesn't filter nearly as well as stock.

 

Wow no kiddin thanks, damn that sucks. I wanna beef my 4cyl up a little bit. Any suggestions?

 

LCE Header! Just put one on my 2016 Access Cab best mod for the 2.7 for the money

 

Ok I'll look it up thanks

 

Jeffro I'm not seeing any for a 2017 yet unfortunately

 

I have the AFE cold air intake on my truck for 5000 miles now and no problems. Of course I had a K&N for 10K with no problems except lots of noise either. The main thing is if you buy an aftermarket filter you need to think about a couple things. 1) Does your filter have a housing still or nah? If it has a housing like the AFE does or the stock intake then you probably don't have to think much more because it will work as well as stock at filtering air still. 2) if you don't have a housing, how are you going to protect the filter? K&N offers a pre-filter wrap as many other companies do to protect their filters from dirt getting in and stuff by blocking anything larger than a certain size mesh opening. This would be a great idea. 3) Do you have a dry or a oiled filter? If you have a dry filter, again it won't take much thought here because theres nothing to do, just vacuum it off every 25K and wash it every 50K and replace every 100K and you're good. If you have an oiled filter, make sure to oil the filter OFF THE TRUCK, and don't use a lot of oil. Let it sit for at least 20 mins after its sprayed to let the oil either drip out or settle into the filter. Then reinstall and you won't have MAF sensor issues. MAF sensors get fouled when either A) they get covered in oil or B) they get covered in dirt or C) both.

 

Wow thanks for all the info. I'll look into all that

 

Had a K&N on mine for a few months, made my oil super dirty when I changed it, took that shit off and went back to stock

 

Oh wait, you have a 4cyl, I wouldn't nickel and dime for power, I'd turbo charge that bugger and call it a day, just saying!

 

It's a waste

 

4 cylinders Tacos lives matter too!

 

...I would just be careful what you add....most companies will look for any reason not to cover a warranty...so much as a bolt that's not supposed to be there and they will use it as an excuse ( not Toyota but I mean in general...I can't speak on what Toyota would do)

 

True

 

Afe ftw!

 

I put a K&N on my 2006 Taco.... It messed up the MAF sensor like @smitty99 said....!! I had to remove the sensor and clean it....it was THEN that I got more power..(AFTER I took it out)..damn, I could not believe how much the K&N degraded my power till I cleaned the MAF and threw the K&N filter in the garbage.!!

 

Damn. Wth I just a little extra power lmao!

 

Unfortunately they don't make a afe yet for 17's
