    save your money.

    tacoma already has a cold air intake, as it gets fresh air from fender well. you can upgrade the filter or maybe look into the deckplate mod if you insist on more air.

    The throttle body spacers from what ive seen and heart are so minimal in change, toyota already had it pretty dialed in. most reports of a "huge increase in performance" are from those who have a ass dyno.

    doing a tune up will probably give it a better more noticeable power gain then anything else.

    Pretty sure the deck plate mod is for the v6 only.

    Throttle body spacers are a useless gimmick that do nothing. Waste of money for a whistle noise

    The throtle body spacer was very useful back when fuel was injected at the throtle body, It allowed the fuel/air mix to vaporize more evenly!

    The problem is most modern vehicles inject fuel directly per cylinder, or atleast somewhere on the intake past the throtle body. This makes the throtle body spacer 99% pointless.
