    I am brand new to this forum I just signed up. I just bought a 2021TRD pro couple days ago. Want to know what cold air intakes everyone recommends? I’m thinking the K&N.. But this is my first Toyota tundra and I want to see what everyone else has done with the best results. Super excited about this truck And want to start doing some mods. Thanks

    CAI's are not really a great idea for these new vehicles with all the computers. They look cool, but that's about it. Save your money for more important things, like GAS.

    Your truck already has a cold air intake. Don't waste the money on something you already have. Spend that money on a Pedal Commander.

    Get the Pedal Commander, I got the Dirty Deeds 10" BAMuffler and the Stillen CAI before I got the Pedal Commander.

    Had I gotten the Pedal Commander first I may have saved a bit of money, but probably not.:mudding:

    Check with Keith @dirtydeeds... I’d skip the CAI and start with one of his exhausts before anything else!

    I got the stillen cai. I don’t think it would really improve performance, but the intake temps match with the outside air temp instead of always being over 100 degrees.

    But what if the outside temp is always over 100 degrees?

    Air from your fender could still be hotter than what’s coming from the front of the truck. I’m not really a scientist or anything so I could be making things up
