    Hi guys,

    Is it worth the money to install a new air intake..like a K&N, for instance??

    K&N drop in filter, URD rear simulator, Deck plate mod/home made CAI, No rear cat, MagnaFlow muffler
    If we are talking drop in filters, I have to disagree

    I bought a drop in K&N for my 98 Taco back in mid 98

    I traded for a new Taco in Jan 01
    I have the same air filter today in my 01 Taco

    Even if one does not see any difference in Mpg with a drop in, 15 years without buying an air filter is a savings in itself

    As far as a K&N CAI I cant comment on because I have never used one, I modified my airbox and basically made my own, and yes, it did help
