Whats Better Stock or Aftermarket intake

Hmmm...

 

interested if you plan to remove....anyone have a pic with it installed...

 

Cool,,, Im still on the fence,,, I like the stock but wish it had more airflow,,, i am thinking of a way to add air ram like the urd stystem combine with the stock,,, using a 3 or 4 inch T on the intake before the filter and a T- pipe that still keeps the factory intake and add a 3 inch cool air intake ip front like the the urd system.... Found parts at lowes for around 40 bucks,,, we will see how that goes,,,

 

ya, i dont care much about performance increase, really just lookin for louder more aggressive sound

 

I put a K&N in mine to save money.My last truck(1994 Toy 4x4 V6 stock intake)I had the same K&N in her for over 12 years........with a cleaning at every oil change.I've been running K&N's forever in my quads and they are bulletproof,very long lasting and do add top end to your machine.Over 12 years I saved a shitload of $$$ with just that one K&N as opposed to buying a new OEM air filter every 15,000 miles.After 12 yrs the filter still looked like new.I duned that truck alot too and the K&N never,ever passed any sand.They are well worth their small investment.

 

Any others???

 

Did you ever test it, or did you just look at your oil and see no sand in it

 

I kept a stock intake and there was never any sand beyond the outside of the filter.Checked the oil too and it was always as clean as the day I put it in the truck.Changed it every 2500-3000 miles religiously.

 

2500 - 3k...interesting....when i had my first (which was my last one since i just got it) from the stealership....they listed it at 5k...does that mean its synthetic?

 

If I change my intake it will look like this:



Although I liked putting baseball cards in my spokes with clothespins, I've grown to like quiet rides.

 

I would say stock with a AFE dry filter (cleanable, no oil to mess with). Plus you have no issues with smog checks. If you CAI isn't CARB-Approved, you'll fail smog. There aren't many that are CARB-Approved. If you're stuck on getting a CAI, I believe some K&N's are CARB approved. They have to have a CARB-Approved sticker on them and even then some have reported having trouble with the smog stations denying them.

 

no smog test to fail here in nj, you ca guys must have ut hard to mod when it comes to exhaust and power mods..

 

Yep California sucks ,,, for truck law!!!

 

yeah, but you still have legal marijuana....and i think its just a fine if you get caught with as well?

 

We don't have 'inspections' on our cars. I can remember putting milk of magnesia on a chip in my window so that I would pass. Hated those red inspection tags! I take it that NJ still does that!?

 

ya we still do..its ruogh, no front window tinting, can only be dropped so far...( a tleast that was an issue when i drove my turbo'd out msp) every 2 years inspection sucks, exce3pt when new, then its 4 years till first inspection

 

I isnstalled an AEM cold air intake with the dry air filter (no oil). It added hp. I love it as it has also helped with my gas mileage. I would make the same MOD again. In combination with my Flow-Master, American Thunder, Cat-Back, Spilt-Tail exhaust; it is hard to keep my foot off the gas pedal.

It performs as good as it sounds, GREAT!!!
I get compliments almost every day on my Taco.

i looked up the price of the aem, and i ant believe its only like 160, thats so inexpensive, all im lookin to do is add some noise when i hit the gas, and people seem to say thats a pretty loud one...not 100% on the looks, if anyone has a pic that would be great. thanks

 

lol thanks trav,,,
