Cold air intake reviews

Might be considered a waste of $ but the Trd cai and Trd duals work well together.

 

This is the route I took also.

 

No .....I inly spent about 20 or less

 

I tested the sabm intake definitely not a waste of money. Lots of people get info from other people saying our intake is already cai this is true but not perfect. Toyota had to make it within HVS testing and emissions stand point. But right now i have the s&b intake best intake for the money with the bullydog tune..

 

Yea i bought the kit from g-tek fab it was a great kit.

 

I bought the AFe drop in dry filter but it’s not fitting my stock air box. Guess I’ll call AFE and see if i can return it.

 

Buy a toyota air accelerator and a drop in filter. The CAI are a waste of money and the SABM has been proven to do nothing but butcher your truck.

 

Not true i have sabm and it was definitely noticeable in mid range and upper rpms for sure. Help me towing, it was a bigger difference than the trd accelerator and drop in filter combine.

 

With all due respect I think your butt dyno may be a little off, I have personally seen a stock Tundra and SABM Tundra on a dyno and there is ZERO difference! Now, if you add a bunch of supporting mods then there may be a benefit.

 

Opinions will vary on this subject just like tuners and everything else with tundras. When i put the sabm on it was totally stock and i did notice a bump in torque at mid range to higher rpms. G-tek sells the kit and dyno it and gains 5-6hp peak. Now below the curve matters more but i didn't see the dyno chart but im gussing it did gain torque at around 3500rpm. Yes it did make the intake louder and meaner. I totally agreed keep stock intake. Any aftermarket intake will lose low end torque iv tested them and lost low end with no gain at top.

 

But right now i do have supporting mods for the truck mods: high flow filter, sabm, trd flow accelerator, throttle body coolant bypass if that does anything lol, bamuffler system 6in, bullydog on trail tune with 93 octane, doug throley shorty headers.

 

There you go, I definitely can see an increase with those supporting mods!

 

Yes everything works together for sure. But in about 5 months from now im going to do arh or jba longtube headers with bamuffler full 3in dual exhaust. And going to sell the shorties and bamuffler exhaust.

 

Google it or look back at post #17. Another pic on #31. Adds another duct or conduit for air to the intake filter.

 

Based on dyno results, cold air intakes do nothing. Put your money into a performance exhaust

 

After researching/looking/shopping I decided on a TRD CAI for my 2010. Already have a 10"BA Exhaust and IPT Valve Body/Shift Kit. I expected just what I got. Underhood appearance and a little different sound.

 

Toyota cold air intake with drop in AFE Magnum FLOW Pro DRY S Air Filter.

I already had a DAP tune and BAMuffler cat-back installed, so I did notice a nice increase in throttle response by adding the AFE filter. I don't believe I would have notice a difference if I didn't have a free flowing exhaust.

 

Looks good! as long as you're happy with it, more power to you!

 

Has anyone just added the air tube after the filter box ? If so what part number is it for the 2nd gen

 

I believe the top is larger than stock so may not exactly line up. I had that thought too before I went with the AFE super stock system.

 

I just put in the trd intake with the sabm still install and man it made a differnce in noise level and power. Yea its just butt dyno but i can really feel it or i could be crazy lol.

 

Did you hydro dip your engine cover?

 

Lol i wish i just bought the carbon fiber kit Plasti Dip. Turn out ok but im not really happy with it. But i will get it hydro dip in the future.
