Performance Air Intake, Good or Bad???

So I was thinking about putting an aftermarket intake on my new tacoma. I had an Volant on my 99 tacoma and never really noticed any gains of any kind besides a nice and sometimes annoying growl. My question is if the new 4.0 v6 shows some gains (hp or torque) with an aftermarket air intake.

Thanks

 

I've seen lots of threads on this. I think the overall consensus is that it pretty much doesn't do squat, but makes the intake sound a little meaner. Without some kind of performance re-flash of the software the truck will just compensate for the different airflow--and it probably wouldn't be that different--these trucks have a pretty big air filter in the 1st place. There's no real "cold air" to be had under the hood either.

 

Honestly. I saw a pretty big gain of my TRD intake. Old gen.

 

I have had all different kinds of cars and trucks and put an intake on everyone of them just for the sound but I can honestly say that the 2nd gen trd kit on my 2010 v6 actually made a difference and I fuckin love it cant vouch for anyone else but this thing really woke it up and I think this is how the truck should have came from the factory period!

 

I have the AFE and I love it...not much power increase (my butt dyno says otherwise) but the sound is good...

 

You may not get a horsepower gain but you will save money. With a filter like the K&N you will never have to buy another one.
