    Look up the deck plat mod if you really want something similar to a cold air intake. Cold air intakes on our trucks are actually "warm" air intakes due to it sucking air from under the hood and not outside the truck

    Yes, dont get anything! Literally anything aftermarket that is advertised as a CAI is infact a "hot air intake!" The stock unit is as cold as you'll ever have on your truck! If you want more air flow get a better flowing stock drop in filter. Some guys will also cut the 90° elbow out of the duckting that goes from the air box to the fender, but i question how much that actually increases flow. There are a handful of aftermarket drop in filters that give a bit better air flow, that will be your best option for added flow while actually keeping cool air being sucked into the intake my man!

    I agree with bry838. I use a drop in K&N Air Filter. I took a look at the stock Toyota Air Shroud and it looked very well designed. So I stuck with it.
