TRD COLD AIR INTAKE? Yes or No?

Is it worth it? Would I see any gains? Hp or mpg's?

 

Save money for something else like most on here would say or you already have one...me i bought one anyways S&B I love it!

 

I just place an order for my rhino rb 10 side steps and the stubby antenna. Looking to add some more modifications and wanted to start with the engine.

 

No

 

2017 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 Air Filter

• Designed to increase horsepower & torque for the 2017 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L engine.
• Washable & Reusable
• This K&N Tundra air filter lasts the lifetime of your vehicle.
• Million Mile Limited Warranty with use on Street Vehicles

A K&N air filter for your 2017 Toyota Tundra should be your Toyota's first performance accessory

 

If you want a "performance" drop in filter look into AFE Pro Dry filters. No oil and are supposed to filter much better than K&N.
As far as best way to keep your oil clean, stick with the OEM filters.

You'll see better power gains from a cat back exhaust from @dirtydeeds than any air filter you can buy.

 

Save your $$$

 

You won’t notice any gains in mpg or hp, but it does look cool!

I personally would spend that $$ on other mods.

Spend a few mins looking around the site and you will find plenty of things to spend your $ on that are more useful.

Toneau cover, BAMuffler, Esp underseat storage, console safe are a few that come to mind.

 

Thank you all for the input, now back to the drawing board...

 

Installed the trd cai on my 2017 trd pro. It did make a difference. I recommend it if you want to put out the money. An improvement from take off and low speed acceleration. Very clean install. Better than the others that require a lot of rework. I am very pleased and happy I bought the trd kit. I have read so many negative posts for the trd cai. May be that some just have to complain. If you shop a bit on the web, I found it for $363 with free shipping. Now I am going after the trd rear sway bar. My 2nd tundra trd. My 1st was the 2000. My daughter now has it. Toyota's have been good to me.

 

I'e had volant power core. TRD and s and b, as well as KN drop in. The intakes worked in conjunction with the hypertech interceptor. But in all honesty, could simply be a placebo effect. And every once in a while would toss a code. Switched to stock and found I liked it better. Sold each and every one except drop in.

 

So the stock paper filter did better mpg? Thanks

 

Thanks

 

Does it make an engine noise difference? My BMWs all had a SIGNIFICANT noise difference when adding a CAI. I don't care about power or MPGs. I want to know if it sounds better?

 

SABM and send it
