Told ya at overland east when my buddy bought the injen system from ya that this k&n system is top dawg in my opinion when it comes to intakes. My buddy loves the system he got from you at the expo but will admit he wishes it had more throat. Glad you installed this, your reaction is priceless. Feeling validated 🤟🤑
I put a K&N replacement for my stock filter. Reasonably priced and works just fine.
I got my Tacoma TRD Off road 2023 just months ago! i did purchase the exact same one you have K&N short ram. I love it! huge difference of my performance way better than stock. I also added the Pedal commander which also have me the best accelerator response and combine with my K&N perfect combo.
get rid of the pedal commander and get a Banks Power Pedal Monster
Mateo and Tacoma Beast team!!! Stoked for the video. Even though it’s a 1 out of 5 in difficulty, still appreciate the walk through. Just got my first Taco this past December and stoked to be apart of the Tacoma Fam. Looking forward to building off of this blank canvas.
Hell yeah bro! We’re stoked to see how your taco turns out 🙌
Hey mateo a question where I can buy
That’s
Can you tell me or share the
Something link
I’ve done the K&N cold air intake to my last two trucks. It never disappoints and looks awesome!
@Rings890 Will they smog it with it on?
@@ericperegrino8102 no, it’s all good.
Sorry I meant do you have to remove it when you smog the car
@@ericperegrino8102 I misunderstood, I don’t know, smog check is not required where I live.
Do you need a tune with this?
I’ve never considered getting an air intake but after watching this video I’m excited to get and test one of these for my second Gen.
🔥🔥
As a 2nd gen owner that had a cold air intake, please don’t. I had one and took it off almost right away. It’s just way to loud for daily driving. It’s nice when you are doing pulls but for daily driving, it’s annoying. When you are going up slight inclines, the engine get under load and is loud. Like annoying loud. Had passengers in the truck and they were like “what’s wrong with your truck?”
Everyone had to raise their voice going up slight inclines.
Just installed my K&N Blackhawk edition. Tip I’d keep your hose clamps just barley loose to allow you to shimmy things around until it all lines up. Gotta say it sounds so much louder and better than any of the TH-cam videos I’ve watched. Totally worth the induction noise and at max rpm the sound literally vibrates you. Truly transforms the sound of the v6.
Thanks for the tip! And I’m so happy you’re happy with it 🙌
Couldn’t agree more. Dudes at Valvoline asked me to fire it up 6 times before I left lol.
Normally I change my own oil but had to volt on the new aluminum skid plate so wanted to get underneath. Intake is fucking awesome.
Did you have any issue with the MAF? I installed same as yours and mine is manual and everytime I shift to neutral the rpm goes everywhere ans end up stalling.
Just put one on my 2019 TRD off road last night. You can absolutely feel the air being sucked into that engine. Sounds absolutely fantastic, no check engine light or sensor malfunctions, and will make the engine breathe better. Worth every penny!
I installed one on my Tacoma 4 months ago totally satisfied, you can say what ever you want but I love the way it sounds to me, you have to try one before judging it.
I thought my pipe clamp fell off because it sounded so loud. But I really like the sound
If you’re a car guy, get it. The feeling of upgrading things and making your vehicle uniquely yours, is what makes it worth it.
*If you are a ricer
The whole point of buying a toyota is that they are already engineered well. The truck comes stock with a true cold air intake already. This is a downgrade.
Buy a domestic if you want to replace every component "just because"
Yea just like every other tacoma
@@Luckingsworth Oh... okay, so I can just sleep in the bed in -20 degrees, Thanks!
The fact that there’s so many comments about how “not an upgrade at all” this intake is is hilarious to me. Clearly these people have not experienced the difference this makes. Sure it’s not ideal for deep mudding, i mean duh! It’s not enclosed but the difference in acceleration and response time is definitely there. And the sound is fucking great. Unless u don’t wanna hear the engine roar in that case you shouldn’t even be watching this tbh. Please if ur reading this don’t listen to the haters that think they know best. Try it out for yourself if u don’t like it uninstall and return. But trust me I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed
"haters"
@@TheRealRenn hater "noun. a person who has an intense dislike for another person or thing" sounds like the comments right ? get your facts right kiddo. don't let politics get the best of you. I'm sure you are part of the group that doesn't even own a Tacoma yet are in the comments talking down on something you have no experience in.
I just received mine, this video gave me motivation. I couldn't buy it anywhere online California restricted, but thats why we have out-of-state cousins for.
😳😂
Great video! That sound is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
nice teaching guys, i didn't even had a Tacoma here in India but now I know how to change the filter
🔥
I did a cold air on my last truck, a Ford with a 5.4 2-valve, primarily in hope of upping highway gas mileage figures. I’d previously modified the air inlet and added a K&N cone filter in place of the paper, along with a Gibson cat back exhaust and synthetic oil. Other than sounding better and making a lot more noise at WOT, it did exactly nothing. It might have given an additional 10-15 horsepower shot at WOT, but that’s not what I was after. I probably won’t do this to my 21 Taco. I’m not out trying to drive it as fast as I can, and it already gets practically double the gas mileage of the big one it replaced. I think I had some increases in efficiency when using a K&N filter in a V-6 minivan, but not as readily apparent on V-8s. Anyway, if building a performance vehicle that includes cam & valve train, headers & free flow exhaust, and other intake mods, a cold air kit makes sense. It does sound great, however.
I would recommend a cleanable K&N cabin air filter as well. Got one for my 86 and will eventually get one for my Tacoma.
They will eventually pay for themselves when not having to continue replacing the stock filters.
I love your attitude! Keep up the good work.
💪
Thank you for all the info.. very good video
Honda Tuner here: (It's Relevant I promise).
- The K&N Short Ram Intake (what's featured in this video); is not pulling in "Colder" Air. It's pulling the same temp air that the stock box would pull though the fender. If anything its actually pulling in warmer air as the top "seal" which sits on the underside of the hood isn't air tight. The slight gains that you might experience are from less air from restrictions thought the system and the engine harmonics (Which I agree are Super sexy) are from the intake design (baffel-less system).
- Additionally; You're actually not "gaining" HP, what's actually happening is the overall power band is being displaced. (IE: Less top end power but more low end power.) This displacement depending on the system can be drastic. For Example you might notice your Highway Speed / Power might increase while your off the line power decreases.)
A few things to note about Intakes are they come in two flavors. Short Ram and Cold Air. (K&N's Marketing department has since started calling their Short Rams "Cold Air" due to them discontinuing their proper Cold Air Systems). These older cold air systems would bring the intake to the lower portions of the engine bay closer to the ground to pull in "Colder" air. Unfortunatly back in the early 2000's when they started to become popular in the tuning scene, people unfamiliar with how engines work would drive though deep-ish water and hydro-lock the engines.
While this Short Ram Might help the Truck "Feel" more powerful, I assure you it's losing power somewhere else in the powerband and finally; its probably HORRIBLE for offroad use since theres more of a chance to pull in the dust.
With all that said, I have no hate towards K&N, I love and use their filters in my Taco and also have a Short Ram on my Civic.
Best upgrade I did to my cummins for that turbo noise baby haha hearing that suckered whistle loud as hell when you're on it
Nice silica ingestor. Perfect for off-road use. Great for seating those piston rings and polishing out that unsightly cylinder cross-hatching. Genius!
hahaha perfect for the pavement princess 😂
I just bought one on offer up $80 bucks! Can't wait to install it.
Oh shoot nice deal!
Now put a K&N air filter in the stock box and a smoother tube between it and the intake. You will find you will get better results. The so called cold air increases the intake temps by sucking in engine bay air. Therefore changing the tune.
I'm Daniel Fiore and I 100% approve this message
What do you mean by smoother tube? Do you have a link to this stuff. Im interested in getting this
I recently just bought this air filter and after installing it I realized is not really made for going OffRoad since it’s open and dispose to all the Dirt and mud etc. other than that sounds great and the response has definitely improved 👌, as of mpg can’t really tell I rate it a 7 out right of 10
The filter is quite good with keeping dirt away as long as you keep it clean 🤙
K&n is not an offroading filter. Regardless or how well you maintain it.
Learn the hard way tho, its better that way.
Then you might take the time to actually educate yourself on the topic, instead of beliving a youtube parts changer.
Funny how rally cars run them 🤔
@@johnnyboydianno rally cars like all race cars get regular engine rebuilds or outright replacements. They care only about power . To a serious rally driver even 1 hp is worth needing to rebuild after the race. Big difference for the guy who off roads on Saturdays but needs to drive the same truck to work.
This is prob the best tutorial video I've ever seen.
Love the look, K&N thru TB always delivers...I could use that extra Umph!
Exactly 🔥
I'd do it just for the sound... Idk about the HP gains, but that sound is masterful...
Thanks for the video, guys!! Love the channel!! Keep em coming!
This white Taco project has me hooked!!
🔥🔥
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners from our previous giveaway, contact the number above
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
Trust me. It boosts. Especially if you know how to use the sport mode on shifting and keep it in 3rd gear at 4,500RPM she launches 🚀
I have the series 77. My gas milage has gone down...it sounds so cool!
I like it very much thanks for the info it's in my baying list and I'm smashing my like botton
@TacomaBeast, next time you should wash the filter from the INSIDE-out, not outside-in. It's on the instructions for a reason, as washing from the outside will embed particles back towards the center.
Thanks for the tip 🤙
Wow what difference nice just got tacoma trd off road a week ago
This video made me fully commit to buying it thank you for putting before and after sound let’s hope my patience can wait for the delivery time
Hell yeah bro! We’re glad we were able to inspire you 🙌
I installed the same K&N Aluminum CAI you did and love it.
Main reasons:
1.) The throttle body pulls the air in much faster
(You can hear it whistle so fast and the low-range RPM at 2,200-2,700 RPM spikes to 3,200-3,700 so fast it’s sexy as hell.)
2.) When you hit 3,700-3,900RPM you’ll feel the boost of combustion and if you’re in Manual mode 3rd Gear you can launch the truck (even when loaded with 2,000lbs of tools and equipment I use for work everyday).
3.) This intake combined with the MBRP turn down cat-back exhaust, high-output coil packs, K&N throttle control system and engine-mapping I tuned makes it pretty fun to smoke brand new 389HP Tundras..
(My bro was pissed when I was 2 car lengths ahead of his Cayenne at 117mph but we had to kill it before an intersection and if needed could take the TRD 4x4 Off-Road thousands of places both those would have zero chance of getting to 😅
I own a taco so my opinion is not a bias one. I use to own a sonoma zr5, actully still do but waiting to restore it as it got a lil rusted while parked once i stopped driving it so much. However the Zr5 on stock tire size I could put places and get out of them a lot easier than with the taco.
Installed on my 2017 Taco almost immediately after I bought it! Love the sounds, the added HP/torque, plus a little better fuel economy! Sounds mean and looks good!
lol do you have a dyno sheet to prove the hp/tq?
There is no hp and tq gain.
@@auskip07 I do. My cousin owns one of the nicest shops in northern Indiana area.
Glad the sound is worth it because that’s all you get.
The truck sounds awesome!!!!!!
Great tutorial bud. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I personally love the sound but, I do have cons. My mpg was at 17 it went down to 14.6 and don’t get me wrong at first I was flooring it. Now I’m just driving it as I would before not sure on that. I’ve noticed both ends not sitting flush I maybe need to readjust it. I also have a Maintenance question, do I have to spray the filter and how often?
You can clean the filter normally and it depends on how dirty it gets with use y’know 🤷♂️, as far as the mpg that might have been because you’re flooring it 😂. I get it though it does sound really nice so flooring it is almost unavoidable 😂😂
Just put one in my 2022! I thought I was trippin the deep roar it makes I’m like ummmmmm wtf. I had one on my civic si huge difference
😂
sick. i have never liked the sound of the exhaust systems for a v6 tacoma so I've stayed stock for my 2nd gen but after watching, definitely need to get this for my 2015.
Right on!
That was awesome
I say the stock air box provides just as cold are as this high dollar bling.. All you gotta do is look. The lower half of the box has a snorkel going into the fenderwell. I think the power gain claim is maybe due to the K& N filter design vs cold air. I want to see the dyno sheet for that 18hp.
All it's performance increase is likely due to the fact that it has less restrictive air flow because it's getting air from the gap where the window washer fluid resevoir is as well as the hole in towards the wheel well.
It’s more about the quality of the air and the flow as well, since you’re getting colder air from the space under the fender instead of the hoods and it’s a direct air flow it provides more power to the engine 🤙
@@tacomabeast the air box is enclosed and is sucking air from the fender tacoma has a stock cold air intake and the only thing different from that k&n you’re showing is the cone filter sooooo i dont see how this is better i mean it sounds better i would rather go with the s&b cold air which is enclosed instead of this set up with the rubber gasket
The stock airbox in the Tacoma provides cooler cleaner air than this pos K&N air intake. K&N actually makes decent filters (if it's not over oiled which screws up your MAF sensor), but there is no R&D behind a lot of their vehicle-specific products. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at the design (in the engine bay) and know that its gonna heatsoak.
@@tacomabeast Nice word salad. Quality and temp of air from stock is outside the engine bay which is filtered prior to getting to motor. Using a rubber seal on a box inside the engine bag cools the air getting it how again? You’re just drawing air from the hole to the outside already. So where is the difference in quality and temp of air?
i did a 2011 seirra 5.3v8 the difference was fkin crazy.. worth every bit of couple hundred bucks
Hell yeah 🔥
I actually have the Injen Evolution Cold Air Intake and oh boy can you hear the the air being suck into the engine. Only complaint, if you need to clean the air filter you will have to disassemble the whole unit as the filter is self container. But oh boy does it sing. (especially since adding the RIPP Coil packs!
So are the rubber gaskets at the bottom necessary. My tacoma was totaled. Had the collision center get the filter out but they forgot the rubber gaskets that the housing sits on. Does the top rubber lining touch the hood?
It does sound sick
Wow sounds great I just might get that
Great instructions
Thanks!
Only issue I have with that CAI, it’s a metal tube, metal retains heat longer. I went with AFE all plastic with a pro dry filter. I’ve had that intake on for over a decade and the filter is still like new and I’ve only replaced rubber boots due to a decade of engine bay heat wearing them out. The sound actually dampens over time, when I first installed my truck sounded like a race truck now I only hear it when I get into high rpms.I have my intake paired with JBA shorty headers & an a custom exhaust. Used to have a advanced timing switch (high octane setting).
You think aluminum retains heat longer than plastic? wut?
@@joshuablake314 so in a short answer, yes. Plastic is better for HP numbers and testing, but the difference between the two is minimal. So if you have the choice, either the shiny one that probably costs more or the plastic one that will perform slightly better (obviously with a tune on both materials).
@@joshuablake314 you are correct. It’s even all over google if they still don’t believe you. Plastic once heated up will retain heat, whereas aluminum helps block off heat radiation.
Thanks for the video ❤🙏💪Installing it this weekend. I’m on 35’s and manual, 5.29’s and my taco feels like gutless turd. I hope this gets me from 12 mpg into 13 🤣🤣🤣🔥💰
FYI, this is not compatible with a Magnussen Supercharger which is Toyotas OEM Supercharger system for most Toyota applications. That’s hopefully my next upgrade.
Mmmm air intake noises. I cant wait to see where this project goes
😂
@@tacomabeast haha I got a reply from the actual channel aaaannnd the spam bot. Nice!! I see this as a complete win
2019 Tacoma TRD. Just put in on and aside from the obvious meat to the throttling, it also seems to have removed the pedal lag I was experiencing.
THATS cool!
Do you have to reset the computer after this? Will cause an engine error code?
I love it
Thanks for doing this amazing video.
Excellent video. You might add an extra step regarding hydraulic struts for the hood. You have to cut a notch out for the strut.
how does it draw colder denser air than stock when they pull from the same place, stock is also more completely sealed from the engine bay. I wish all the intakes would just be honest, all it does it look better and sound better
Intake plus the magnuson supercharger with mbrp exhaust would make the Tacoma sound so badass!
Agreed!!
A good OV tune is cheaper than a 6 Grand supercharger, with just a little less performance
How much more HP?
@@tls5669 ur right I got an ov tune on my 2019 and it smokes other tacomas
I got my own taco, it’s a nice army green trail edition, one of my dreams is to pimp it out and take out for a long ride all the way to Alaska from the state of texas. My pops and I would love a crazy taco build
That sounds badass man! You got this 🤙
Even just putting one of these on for the sound alone is worth it. I have one on my Corolla and I love it. On the Corolla the stock intake starts right above the radiator under the hood while the K&N starts off to the side. It could be sucking in cooler air, maybe, but in reality the air is probably the same temperature. The power gains come from the shorter intake tube and higher flow filter element. This is what increases the noise. The system came with a dyno sheet that showed the intake produced more power but it was maybe 8-10HP if I remember correctly. Not a crazy increase but I'll take it. Looks cool AF under the hood too. Coupled with a good catback like a Borla and you have a really nice sounding setup without much fuss.
needs a overland taylor tune wouldve been exciting stuff!
I would put it on just for that sound you get when you floor it
I put the k/n on along with a d3 tune. Didn’t noticed any performance difference with the k/n. Too noisy when u accelerate. Took it off and kept the tune on. Much smoother shifts with the tune
Most of the time your making more power around 3.5k and up when changing intake. If you dont like revving your truck then you wont feel the difference.
great video bud,
Appreciate it 🤙
Any difference from getting the TRD cold air intake VS the K/N I'm on the fence on getting either. People talk about the noise on a daily driver but I remember on my old car it didn't bother me but I do remember how beautiful the sounds were watching this video gave me memories. * I have a 2nd gen tacoma now btw
If you want some stats comparing the two shoot us an email at support@tacomabeast.com and we’ll be happy to help you 🔥
With the k&n I really didn't think you got a lot more noise out of it personally that much. Idk if it was just me but I only really noticed it when you floored it and kick the floor barrel in.
2021 TRD Sport. Installed this exact intake and paired it with TRD manga flow exhaust with pedal commander also. My opinion is ehh. My truck does not shift like this when on the highway going through gears, seems mine is shifting a lot harder and not recognizing when to shift. Bought MAF sensor cleaner and thoroughly cleaned it and didn’t make a difference. Anyone have any answers?
Bout to put one of these on a first Gen single cab from 2003 👌🏽😎
🔥🔥
I’ve done my own testing with a OBD reader reading intake temps with a K&N. Temps where 30-40 degree HOTTER than stock!
You CAN’T call that’s a COLD air intake.
Which one would you recommend?
@@MarcusAurelius12 Your stock air box will give the coldest temps
Plastic vs Plastic?
@@Shibalba I don't understand the question.
@@jdesigns7239 Was one a metal intake and one was a plastic?
Never understood how sucking hot air from the engine compartment rather than from outside like the stock intake is somehow considered a "cold" air intake.
So true. I wondered the same thing after I installed my first and only intake like this on my BMW. It sounded really cool but I could have sworn my car felt slower sucking in that hot engine air. I added the stock back that took air from the outside with just a K&N filter and got the power back.
I agree with you. This is not a cold air intake. Items like this are made for people who truly do not understand HP and how engines really work.
KN heavy in the comments 😂
This is exactly what I wanted to read.
It might be a little free flowing but it’s definitely not a cold air intake and in that aspect it’s a downgrade from stock.
I agree 1000 percent !! I've been saying it since these things came out. This so-called upgrade is a scam. The stock air intake comes out in front of the radiator support. Removing it and putting the air snorkel under the hood pulling in maybe 180° air temperature is ridiculous. Total deception
That sounds awesome! Will that work for the four-cylinder also?
Why do we need more noise? Doesnt make you faster or more powerful
any recommended tune with this intake ?
How much more room does the cold air intake use? I plan on installing an ARB air compressor, and 1 gallon tank in that open spot next to the air box.
I would say it’s about the same amount of room 🤙
Nice❤ I can’t wait to start my build
I love the K & N because I get all kinds of check eng lights from the stupid filter oil clogging up my sensors. MAF sensor will need to get replaced regularly as well as the IAC valve. Worth every penny....
Quit over oiling your filter or you can get the oil free version of the filter and its still washable…also you can get the fine dust sock for it to help keep it cleaner longer.. many options over over oiling and having to clean it often..
Hey man I have the same exact truck. I’m looking at getting a S&B intake. Any thoughts compared to the K&N? I like the closed box better than the open air. Also any thoughts on running boards. I’m hoping to get something that extends out to prevents door dents.
Haven’t worked with the s&B so I can’t compare them but I haven’t heard anything bad about it. Running boards won’t do much to prevent door dents since they’re usually made as steps, if you’re looking to prevent door damage you should probably go for rock sliders instead 🤙
@@tacomabeast thank you
Mantaaaaap 👍👍👍👍
How many inches is the inlet of that filter? Looks huge
Does your truck also only rev to about 4-5k with the intake vs 6k with the stock one?
Interesting
So glad I came across your video. I’m getting one right now!!
💪💪
Replace the stock cold air intake with a with a higher airflow intake which now sucks up warmer air.... brilliant. I am sure you can really feel all those HP gains lol
And??
I have the dual piston hood support system. Will the one on the passenger side be in the way of this installation?
Yes
Shoot us a picture of your hood setup to out support team at support@tacomabeast.com and we’ll check it out and see how we can help you 🤙
@@tacomabeast email sent.
When I put the intake I need to disconnect the battery?
Awesome
i like to have that in my tacoma too
does the intake void warranty?
Do you hear it at just normal cruising speeds or only when you're hitting the gas hard? I would like to get one but I don't want any extra excessive sound when just cruising.
It’s mostly when pressing the gas that you hear the difference 🤙
Ok guys help me out. I have a2017 taco and was really excited in buying this intake for it, I’m about saving gas money. What do you recommend for me to do? Love the sound of this Tacoma here.
This won’t have a significant enough impact on mpg tbh, it might increase it slightly but it really depends on how you drive it. If you’re in it for the noise then it’ll definitely be a good mod 😂
is the TRD a comfy ride on long roads or the limited is better?
The TRDOR has softer suspension which I find more comfortable. I drive 30 mph over speed bumps and barely feel it.
No need for a tune when changing cold air intake in this tacoma?
Do it needs to be tune with the intake?
Hold my beer I told yaah gonna install this all in my old Toyota Raum 🤣🤣✌️✌️
🔥
Will it pass smog in CA with this unit on?
Now I have to have one🤑
Any advantages to the K&N over the S&B? The S&B looks like it might keep more cold air as it's completely enclosed, but idk. I understand that both aftermarket and the stock are CAIs, and the aftermarket is more if a high-flow design.
Id rather go with the s&b still fuck that
S&B quality is way better than K&N and you get a legit sealed cold air setup. The K&N heat shield is useless…
Isn't the stock intake a cold air intake as it pulls air from outside thru the duct in the fender?
Yes, this is a mod for dumb people who dont know what they are talking about.
People like this spend the $$ for a Toyota, then proceed to drop more $ replacing the toyota parts with cheaper downgrades...
Very nice! Can you compare air filters data, micron size and explain colder air intake next time. I don’t think Toyota designed air intake from under the hood.
We’ll look into more specs for future videos 🤙
I remember my first K&n intake
I'm skeptical and I am happy that someone posted exactly what I wanted to hear. What is your opinion on this based on your expertise?
@@patkap41 I have one on my 2012 Camry very easy install and I tell you it did up the mile per gallon and you got a little more acceleration out of it but I did more for the mile per gallon increase which was about three to four miles per gallon.
@@wildman24jg BS! Manufacturers spend millions on R&D, if they could improve their vehicle by 4mpg, this would be factory part.
@@TwoWheelNinja say bs all you want I have it on my vehicles and seen real results. You fail to realize auto makers have to do everything by the book for every state and a cold air intake won't pass a lot of state laws for emissions and things. 🤦♂️ Remember some states have smog checks those wouldn't pass it.
Are you not supposed to oil the filter?
when you offroad, wouldn't the dust get into the CAI with the open designed?
The filter prevents the dust from going through to the engine 🤙
yeah it seems like compared to an enclosed system like the stock cia or the S&B, the open air filter my need a lot more maintenance ?
Any idea why mine makes a popping sound sound when I turn the wheel while stopped , Alaska is cold as shit but it started out of nowhere
*Disclaimer* you are not getting 18 horsepower out of this intake, also install without the "heat shield" which is just a piece of metal, for better results.
We said it at 1:01 🤦♂️
