DIY: TRD Air Intake Install

Thanks

 

Awesome vid.

 

I've put AI's on most of my vehicles, and honestly couldn't tell a difference besides the sound.

 

So I just bought the airflow accelerator and it was an easy install after watching your video.

 

Does this have any other point besides looks and wash ability? Did it give you better performance? I mean it looks great and all but our trucks are work hogs and beach rigs We need to keep sand and mud out of stuff! I was debating a snorkel?

 

Does anyone know if this video would apply to a 2021?

 

Yes, everything is the same under the hood. But most would recommend you save your money for something else.
Tundras already have a great intake and you won't see anything from the TRD as far as MPG or HP. It may sound a little meaner on WOT but that's about it.

 

Yep, I did mine because my OCD "needs" the engine compartment to look as good as the body and interior!

 

Thank you for the response. I’m not really concerned about what other people think about the cold air intake. Based on the research that I’ve done and the Dyno testing it does increase horsepower and fuel efficiency. It is pretty minor but there is a difference. I’m going to trust Toyota and the product and get it anyway. My biggest concern was installing it myself. I am very handy but I don’t work on vehicles very often.

 

I installed mine on my 2010. No fires, explosions or damaged components, if I can do it, so can you!

 

Thank you for the inspiration! I’m going to buy it this weekend. I’m not sure how long it’ll take for it to be delivered but I’ll keep everyone updated on how the install goes.

 

We're here if you need help!

 

Thanks guys! Great video by the OP. I have the part ordered. I’ll be installing it next weekend.

 

Oh, there's definitely an increase in HP and MPG... if you drive around at 6000+ RPMs all the time.
Not knocking your decision, just trying to help you save some money.
If you're doing it for looks or sound I totally get that.

 

Can I install the trd air intake on my 2000 tundra?? What would happen??
