    I am debating ordering the stillen intake for my 2019 5.7L

    I've had mixed experiences with CAIs in the past, but this stillen one with the added intake tube pulling from the grille area seems appealing. The same setup as even my wife's grand highlander or my work car (honda CRV).

    I know that there was some issues with the third gen tundra stillen intakes, but is everyone still enjoying their Gen 2?

    I do already have an AFE pro dry S filter along with TRD dual exhaust.

    more than I can list here
    Keep the stock box with the filter you currently have. There’s no upgrade for the stock air box on 2gen tundras. Except for sabm. That’s a good upgrade

    now the 3rd gen tundra with AFE intakes is pure magic!!

    Too many mods to come
    Stillen box pulls cooler air since it does pull from the front I've seen gains in that tube alone.

    I have it on mine along with the TRD airflow accelerator. I run an SG3 and I can see lower intake air temps.

    I’ve had the Stillen intake since it came out. Haven’t had any issues with it. IATs get to ambient pretty quick when moving. If you have some money to blow, there’s nothing to lose with it.
