    On my 2008 that I sold I had a Volant CAI and a Magnaflow exhaust. I had issues with the filter coming off the CAI a lot allowing dust to trigger the mass airflow sensor. I did a search and did not see much for CAI or exhaust threads on here but I am sure a lot of people have switched them out.

    I am looking for suggestions that will work with my 2021 Limited double cab for both exhaust and intakes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I did see a video on this one and it looks like it works well.

    This exhaust seems to be rated high too.

    I don't believe many people on here put on an aftermarket CAI. The design of these intakes are essentially CAI.

    Dirty Deeds exhaust is the most common set up.

    You'll get more bang for your hard earned dollar ignoring the intake portion as it is pretty good as is.
    Spend it on the exhaust system with Borla being one of the best but, there are others.
    With the 5.7 at least in my mind, a good exhaust and then a blower like the Magnuson is all you need to have all the power you could ever want for a pick up.
    No need to go inside the engine.

    Alot of them
    Your truck has a cold air intake. Don't waste the money. For exhaust, DirtyDeeds!! Contact @dirtydeeds as he has many systems and can give you a system based on what you are looking for....sound, etc. He is very knowledgeable with these trucks. I run his 8" system and I can tell you that it out-performs the Flowmaster system that I had on my previous Tundra.

    I have the Volant as well but has been removed for the last 4 yrs. I have the 8 inch Dirtydeeds muffler and absolutely recommend it. I have done the SABM instead and like it better.
