    A majority of Cold air intakes are downgrades to hot air intakes. For a tundra, your best bet is what is called the SABM or stock airbox mod which involves drilling an extra hole in the air box and inner fender wall and installing flanged fittings and then joining them with a small piece of hose allowing extra air into the box. Do a search and you will find lots of info. The other thing you can do with or without the SABM very quickly and cheaply is the TRD airflow accelerator which uses the proven principals of a velocity stack to increase the airflow into the box. I recommend an AFE dryflow filter or a Wix paper filter for good flow and filtration.
