TRD Air Filter... I Like it!

Howdy,

I had all but given up on K&N oil type filters but bought the TRD version during the 40% off sale. Figured easy to off it if no improvement.

Well substantial improvement for my Tundra! I thought mine was a little sluggish off the line but it's a truck so.... Now it hops right up! Mileage was creeping up on first trips... 15.8 in cross town stop and go traffic..

I had a K&N rejuvenate a 4Runner once but other times a disappointment and MAF foulers...

Maybe with dual exhaust mine has...

I don't know but a positive experience and will keep it!

What is this 40% sale you speak of? I'd love to get 40% off a TRD sway bar.

 

Love the avatar! Need to watch that movie again!

 

Get a pedal commander. That’ll also add to you enjoyment.

It was a one day only sale for TRD 40th anniversary last week.

 

Yep one day of agonizing over "should I get THIS or THAT??!!" I got the TRD Pro skid plate, TRD shift know and aforementioned filter. ALMOST got the TRD CAI but seemed to be a consensus it doesn't do much and the filter provides a great deal of that...

After 40 years of buying cars and trucks I must say I can never predict how one item will effect over all performance. As I said I was dubious of the filter being worth it but went for it and am quite happy! A K&N in my Tacoma's did nothing. I a 4Runner made it a beast! I don't get it...

I was looking at Pedal Commander type items for my Tacoma, actually add ons that effected shift point. One thing I disliked about my Tacoma was a shift point exactly at rpms that equaled 35mph so in normal city driving it couldn't make up it's mind!

I'll have to see about PC! Thanks,

Greg!

 

Haha! No one else has mentioned other than I look mad! I always thought that Marmalard was the funniest name ever!

"Alright you bastard lets go right here!"

I ordered the CAI and I might end up posting it up on the For Sale section, passing the savings to another member. I'll post some pics when I receive it.

 

ONE DAY Super Sale on TRD items put on by Mama Toyota. Oh. That date was April 4th (I do believe). Yup. You snoooooooooooooooooozed.

 

I just did the same thing with similar results. Not a huge improvement but worth the money I think

 

So many great characters - "That was Eric Stratton, rush chairman, he's damn glad to meet you!" That and Blazing Saddles never seem to get old!

 

I got the TRD CAI for $255 during the sale. Wouldn’t have paid any more than that, as it’s just the filter and airflow accelerator with a new top. But I do like the look of it when i open my hood.

 

The K&N is on the short list of things I need to buy (had one on my last Tundra for close to 15 years, cleaned it a few times, reoiled, worked great). Curious about what is different with the TRD, (Amazon says it doesn't fit my Limited) and I need to find out if there is any improvement over the K&N worth the extra bucks, before I order another K&N. Obviously you folks are buying the TRD, so unless it's the sale price making it a better deal, there must be another reason to go with it over K&N.

 

Get the airflow accelerator too. Its cheap. That and the filter are all you really need to duplicate the full system.
