help with best intake

Whats te best intake for a 2002 Toyota tacoma
what do you have?


3 2 1 go!

 

I run AEM Brute Force intake with dry filter but anyone will tell you that a deck plate mod is cheap yet just as effective. Do a 4-5" deck plate mod and add a dry filter.

 

I run a K&N Intake in mine. It sounds really good compared to the chevy's and dodge's. Not really sure if any power is added (most people will say not), but I have a friend that has a Green Air Intake in his and its great! Wish I had bought that!

 

Deck plate mod. There is a thread about the deck plate mod vs othere aftermarket intakes and the deck plate mod had the best gains over all. It's not that hard to do and it'll only cost about $20-$30 vs $150-$300 for a kit.

 

I took out my brute force intake, and put in the stock shitbox with a deck plate mod. Added an afe prodry air filter from autoanything. Bam! For $60 it's an optional cai, with a washable filter I can reuse over and over again. Highly reccomended

 

Stock is already a "CAI". All others suck in hot engine bay air. Not really convinced deckplate mod does anything other than make ricer wooshing noises in the cabin. It's just sucking in hot air as well.

Use the search function, tons of threads on this, tire size, lifts, etc...

 

just because it's warmer air doesn't mean it's not gaining horsepower. if the amount of air outweighs the difference in temperature then you have a gain right there.

 

Actually someone did a dyno of the stock air box, deck plate mod and a few aftermarket intakes and the deck plate mod had the best gains. The 90° elbow from the air box to the factory snorkel is very restrictive, if you don't want to cut up your air box you can alway just remove the elbow. The good thing about the deck plate mod, if you seal it properly, you can close it for crossing water

 

stock.

I wish I still had mine...
