    I have a 2012 Tundra Crew Max Texas edition that I want to add a cold air intake to. Any recommendations of a brand? K/N or S/B?

    S&B looks pretty slick for the price.

    That being said, you’ll see little to no benefit in fuel mileage or power.

    The stock intake is already a cold air intake. There is not much difference in design and where the air is coming from. Best mod is the TRD air flow accelerator and stock air box mod

    I had Volant on my old tacoma. Was basically a waist of money. No performance gains at all...

    I've dynoed one of my tundras with a K&N intake and it lost 9hp VS stock.
    I recommend just replacing the filter as OR18TRD suggested.

    more than I can list here
    Another recommendation to replacing just the filter and keeping the stock box. Intakes don’t work on a tundra. The ecu is very difficult to outsmart.
