    Hi all,
    Just wondering if adding a cold air intake kit with a cat back exhaust system will help performance or if it's not worth the money and putting it elsewhere into the truck?

    Any and all info greatly appreciated.
    Also I have the 5.7 v8

    Will do nothing for you but lighten your wallet and make louder sounds, no real performance benefit on a 2.5 gen tundra.

    You can get some HP and TQ with exhaust. check out the dirtydeeds offerings- real performance improvement, great quality and sound. @dirtydeeds

    Other than that for power adders, you would be looking at long tube headers or supercharger.

    ^This. Your truck already has a cold air intake.

    Like others have said, you have a CAI. Can it be improved? Oh hell yeah.

    Check out Dirty Deeds. Bang for the buck, a full exhaust will net you the most power/efficiency.

    Keep in mind, if you spend 2500.00 on performance to gain 1 mpg you will not ever recoup that money. Not necessarily saying you shouldn’t…:D

    We are human…it’s always worth it.
