TRD vs S&B vs K&N intakes

Thanks. With a Dap tune on mine, I’m curious if it’s worth doing this mod.

 

Ricardo, did you silicone around the new pipe or is it fairly snug?

 

i wanna put in an air intake simply cuz they look sick, but my dads old and says theyre bad. any truth to this?

 

Yes he is correct. And who cares what they look like, your hood is closed usually

 

I did use black weather strip just because where the coupler joins the filter box even though it's very snug

 

damn, wisdom must come with age.

 

I have one in my garage because I removed it about 2 yrs ago due to loss of power only gave out noise

 

Sometimes

 

I might have missed it in the thread but what do you have?

 

For intake? Just oem paper filter for now. Used to have k&n but removed it due to sand packing it off during dune trips. I just got a good deal on an AFE magnum stage 2 with a dry filter I will be trying out. I will add the sabm like @Rica25 has. But to the afe box. I also will be installing a prefilter under my bumper on the initial air intake from the exterior of the truck to avoid sand and debris entering the fender well intake portion. I’ll do a write up once I get to install.

 

I want the pre-filter as well! Can't decide on the rest tho...too many options. Looking forward to the write up

 

Don’t hold your breath haha. It will be a while. I’m just in stockpile mode. Then do a bunch of mods at once in spring

 

Help ... the site shows it will only fit 2018 but clicking on the picture it says will fit 2019 ... i have a 2019 Pro .... thanks ..

 

Sabm all the way. Notice 2 mpg on hwy and 1.5 in city.

 

I had the AFE Magnum stg2 Dry and felt a loss in low end personally. It was a slug off the line and MPG's dropped from 14.8 mixed to 13.5. I swapped to their Super Stock system and got that snappiness back with a gain to about 15.9 mixed while keeping the power increase noticable. I also added the TRD accelerator and eye balling the SABM next.

 

I would go for the SABM. I felt no loss at the low end only gain in the mid to upper range.

 

Thanks ... she looks sick !!!

 

I have the S&B. Has a whistle and i just took it off to oil at 88k miles. No dirt inside or anything. Good enough for me but I bought it with this inatalled but doubt theres any gain from it. I love having a filter you can clean... Just do what @ARamirez73 said and keep a spare or realize you wont drive for a day at least. Degrease, wash, dry for 24hrs, oil, wait a bit, drive.

 

For guys with whistle, did you change the throttle body gasket too?

 

I changed the gasket out on mine today, took less than 10 minutes and completely eliminated the whistle for me as far as I can tell. Previously around 2000rpms it was present with a K&N system. Gasket cost $7 in Canada so it’s a cheap fix.

 

Yup. I've been reading on many forums and Amazon reviews that the throttle body gasket with the screen is the culprit for whistle when changing intakes or aftermarket filters.

 

What is this new TB gasket?
My stock ass truck has a horrible whistle at 2500 RPMs

 

Its Throttle body ... you need to see your dealer and replace the gasket without the screen in it .... just gasket.. good luck

 

Is there a part # for the new style?

 

The part number is

$9 22271-50050 Toyota Gasket - 22271-50050

22271-50050 it’s 7 dollars, you’d have to remove the throttle body from the housing it has four bolts and pops out easily, and pops in but you’d never go wrong getting the dealer to install it like they said, but me being me I did it myself haha,

 

Bnutzbenny provides the part number and Amazon link. That is where I bought mine. Very easy to change and I cleaned the throttle body while I was at it.
