Thanks buddy, I didn't wanna be making any enemies on here. I have te same problem so I feel the need to pour money into my truck/fishing gear/hunting gear. I never really need the stuff but I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and if it brings me joy that's all I care about. Wasted money or not.

Yes. This. Whether we agree with what you are doing or not, it's your money to spend how you please. If it brings you joy, that is all that matters. My rig is a HUGE money pit, but it keeps me happy...

Braaaaaaaaap aaaaaaapppp braaaaaaappp braaaaaapppp aauuuuPPPP! So on and so forth. Well I dropped the truck off at the shop around 12 today and was called to come pick it up at 3. To begin the CAI looks great underneath the hood. So I give a +1 to the new look. I was extremely pleased with the new sound that my truck produced as soon as I cranked her up So before I even pulled out of the lot my money had already produced a smile. As soon as I pulled off on the highway I put the pedal to the floor...and all I have to say is that I feel as if there was a small gain. I will say that the initial take off did seem to be delayed or slower but it didn't take long for the truck to get moving on down the road. Of course I don't have scientific proof or lab proven results to justify anything I just said but I am giving my honest thoughts. There wasn't an extreme amount of new speed or anything just a little extra kick. I really enjoy the sound and so did all of my buddies. Even if it didn't give me some kind of amazing HP gains that I wasn't even looking for in the first place, it still gave me a smile. The truck sounds great and I am pleased. I would and will do it again in the future. I said my part, feel free to tear the "derp" to pieces now.

I guess the one in my truck is...fake? I mean if it is please explain how? I'm not a genius with trucks like you are. What makes it not a CAI? Enlighten the derp. Braaaap. braap......apppp.

Actually I don't wanna go round for round with that guy again. Whatever technical K&N part is in my truck, I like it. the end. Oh and DerpDestroyer would be a much better name, Whipper.

Hey OP, here's some good info to enlighten yourself on:

Gadget@URD said: ↑

If we are talking about the 1GR-FE 4.0L V6, then that statement is completely in error.

On many engines these days there is little or no increase in power when an aftermarket air intake is installed, but that is not the case on the 1GR.

When URD got our 2005 Tacoma, I immediately started looking for the "FREE" hp mods that I found for the older 3.4L V6. All of that is detailed on my website www.GadgetOnline.com.

I got on the dyno and started running tests and tested it without the big main tube installed. No gain in power. Tested it with the lid off of the air filter box. No gain in power. Tested it with the carbon trap removed. No gain in power. Tested it with the lid off, the main filter out and the carbon trap out, NO GAIN IN POWER.

It was very clear that the stock air filter box its self had to go. It makes sense if you really look at the design of it. The air has to make several sharp turns in there before it gets into the engine. All these turns makes so much turbulence that Toyota had to install a flow straightener before the MAF to calm things down to get a clean reading. All this adds up to a significant flow restriction.

This led to the development of the URD TCAI. On my 2005 XRunner it gained around 18 RWHP over the stock air filter box and the faster you drive it take advantage of the increased dynamic air pressure that builds up in front of the vehicle to force more air into the engine then would normally be pulled in for more power.

The URD TCAI was intended to be a street performance intake and it is ideal for the XRunners. If you are an avid off roader and go through creeks and streams it is not the intake for you. For you guys we have the aFe Stage 2si intake.

aFe used to make the intake system for TRD and it is a very good intake. I tested that on my 2006 4Runner with the 1GR and the gain was 12 RWHP over the stock air filter box and we keep a large stock of these intakes with the ProDryS synthetic filter on the self at URD.

Those are the two intakes we recommend the most. There are some others we have gained experience with over the years and here are a few:

Volant- Nice design overall but there is a significant design problem that makes the MAF read very high causing the engine to run very rich killing power. Generally most with the Volant will have a loss of power over stock due to the increase in the richness of the fuel mixture. URD has a special program for our MAF Cal to address this. On one customer' truck a dyno test showed a loss of 15 RWHP with the Volant and after a retune with the URD MAF Cal the gain was 30 RWHP (15 over the stock intake only after correction).

AirAid- We have dyno tested this and there is no gain because they retain the stock air filter box and convert it to a hot air intake. They are basically just sticking a cone filter where the main air tube is and removing the filter media from inside the air filter box.

There are others that are hot air intakes, your basic filter on a stick and they pull in hot engine compartment air. This is not good for making power in general.

If I can help you with a URD or an aFe intake, let me know.
