cold air intake

im new at this game. i would like to know how to install an intake on my 06 tacoma. there seems to be alot of wires and i dont want to mess anything up. please help!!!

 

the only wiring you should have to deal with is plugging in and unplugging the MAF sensor. have you bought an intake kit yet?

 

nope

 

Check out downey off road air intakes they only do toyotas mine looks sick, sounds sick and helped my gas milage

 

where can you buy those from?? i've been looking for one too

 

the number is on the web site i called them and it was here about 3 days later. The only thing is check and make sure you got everysingle part i was missing a mounting bracket i made it work temporary the are sending my the part no charge

 

I don't get what wiring has to do with an intake install? My install was very easy - didn't touch a single wire.

 

thats what i was wondering about...

 

get an option racing intake, i got mine off e-bay brand new for a lil over 50 dollars (plus shipping) i was a bit skeptic about it at first but when it came in it was brand new! i was amazed by the deal i had gotten

 

yup

 

K&N Air Charger CAI. As soon as I put it in I could feel it in the throttle. At minimum at 15HP gain and it is loud as hell its awesome. Def suggest going with one of those, it's an easy install, just move the MAF and bolt it in with the shield, attach some of the hoses and your good to go. It comes with step by step instuctions with pictures.

 

So you could tell just by feel that you had a 15HP increase with the K&N?? I bet you got maybe a 5HP increase.

 

gained throttle response is often misperceived as more power than it actually is. if you had a set of headers and an exhaust system, throwing an intake on would probly get you 10-15 actual hp
