Excellent video! I have a brand new Tundra TRD Pro and was worried about working on it. This is so thorough, there is no doubt I can do this. Thanks!!!!!
Hey Mike! I'm so glad the video gave you the confidence to turn the wrench on your new truck (and congrats)! That's what my channel is all about - helping people with DIY projects. This should be a quick and easy install for ya. All parts links are listed in the description of the video. If you need any help, feel free to reach out. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Excellent step-by-step installation and tool guide. After installation, (anecdotal) the engine seemed to have smoother acceleration and a definite deeper-throated rumble between 3K-4K rpm. No codes thrown. No reset or reprogramming of any components needed. Easy Plug-N-Play. Thank you for the help on my 2020 TSS Tundra 5.7L V-8.
Best instructional video I have EVER seen. Thank you! I am just nit sure there’s an appreciable difference that the cold air intake makes. Can you even tell?
Thanks, Chris! There's a m9re throatier sound and people say a 3-5 HP difference, but that's all dependant on each person's perspective. Overall, it's nice to have a reusable filter.
Thanks for the feedback; glad the video helped out. Enjoy your new intake and don't forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel for future mod videos!
Nice video well done just want to point out that O2 sensors are in the exhaust system not the air intake ducting. You are swapping over the Mass Airflow Sensor to the cold air pkg not an O2 sensor.
Definitely looks way cooler than the one on my 2020 army green tundra. I doubt it improves anything other than looks. But I do want to do this to mine too. Great video. I'll reference this when the time comes. Now just need to wait for great sale price.
Very interesting! Well explained and we see each steps clearly! Thank you, looking forward to install one! Did you notice any better performance or fuel efficiency?
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't noticed much of a performance or gas mileage difference, really. Specs online say maybe 3-5 more HP and slightly better on gas. My truck is lifted so it's hard to tell on gas mileage. Thanks for watching!
Muchas gracias hermano por explicar la intalacion en Espanol y un fondo de musica espectacular si puedes hacer todos tus video sobre tundra asi te felicito. thank you.
By far the best install video of the TRD intake. I have a 2018 Tundra 5.7 and have considered this. Your video will come in handy. Thanks! I am curious is it harder to change the air filter after the TRD intake install? I wouldn’t want to accidentally puncture it when putting it back together every time.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. The air filter isn't much harder to change. It's pretty much the same as a regular air filter replacement. On this kit, however, the air filter is rechargeable (reusable). Let me know how your install goes once you get it done!
Yes sir, I call my local Toyota dealer for this installation and was going to charge me $580 plus tax and thanks to your videos I did it in 35 minutos and it works excellent 👍🏻🎉
It's alwaya a good idea to disconnect the battery when working in the engine compartment. However, with this job, none of the work is near the battery so I didn't.
do you need to have any reprogramming done after the install? any check engine lights come on? I heard it would need that because there is a different air flow / temperature that the sensor might flag. thanks
I haven't really heard any whistle or whine. Honestly, this installation didn't sound different until around 2,500 to 3,500 RPM where there's more of a growl which is nice.
Question please. Did the TRD CAI improve your trucks fuel economy? Or does it just look cool? My Tundra TRD PRO doesn't need more power as it has plenty. But I would love to make gains in fuel economy.
Great video. In reference to the cold air intake the only difference I see is the air filter. The rest is the same box. More beautiful, of course but it is only decorative.
Pretty much for looks. The filter, the air flow accelerator (goes in fender), and larger/taller filter housing lid are the main difference. You might get the same performance out of just the filter and air flow accelerator.
Another great content. Since this video...how is the TRD Air filter holding up? Are you still using trd oil filter ? Now that you have it for awhile is it worth the money? thanks
Thanks again! Air filter is holding up great. I've cleaned it once and it's still in near perfect condition. I use the OEM oil filter because I have a plan that includes oil changes at my dealer. Once that ends, I'll probably start using the TRD oil filter and make a video for oil filter and oil changes. I like the TRD Cold Air Intake because it gives the engine a bit of a growl it didn't have before. At some point, I'll install the TRD dual exhaust which will add a little more growl.
Great vid, Thank you! I have a question, will it void manufacturer warranty? I spoke to a local Toyota dealer to order the trd intake system and they said they will be the one to install it or else I will void my car's warranty
Thanks, RoyMAD! I haven't been told that installing this yourself would void a warranty. Almost seems a little far-fetched, but I could be wrong. This is a Toyota part (not aftermarket) so it shouldn't.
Not necessarily. It's always a good idea to remove the negative battery cable whenever you work in the engine compartment, but that's more in case you drop a wrench and it hits a juiced circuit somewhere.
The point of removing the cable is so the computer forgets how you drive. Removing the cable will make the tundra re-learn your driving habits with new cai.
Hi Jermaine. I don't think it would fit and you probably wouldn't want to deviate from the filter Toyota provides or you might run into a warranty issue.
@@MilitarizedCitizen but my question is why? The engine is exactly the same provided that you have the 5.7 is it not? I'm more of a fan of the square style filter
My guess is fit and mounting. The TRD intake uses the existing filter housing - it only replaces the top to fit the new filter. I would imagine the 2014+ version won't fit the 2013- filter housing.

No problem man.You. just got a new subscriber.
@@MilitarizedCitizen Thinking about doing this on my 2018 Tundra
I really like the upgrade. My Tundra is also a 2018. It has a nice growl at around 2,500-3,500 RPM'S and you can clean the air filter multiple times.
@@MilitarizedCitizen That's awesome man. How much was that TRD cold air intake? $450?
Your video was awesome! The video was very detailed and clean keep up the good
work!
Thank you, Claggett! I'm editing a few more videos now that should be uploaded soon!
Perfect video for install! The best video out there!
Thank you so much, Darold! I appreciate the feedback and for watching. Share it with your friends!
Installed this on my new 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, my 2020 Toyota 4runner TRD Pro and now my new Tundra TRD Pro. The tundra was the easiest!
Wow, that's awesome. Was it because there's more room in the Tundras engine bay?
@@MilitarizedCitizen alot less stuff to remove and not technical on the tundra. . The 4 runner snapping the cover shut was a serious chore!
Haha! Yeah, that's a tight one.
Very, very well presented, articulated & produced!
I hope you have More Tundra Mods & upgrades.
Happy New Year!
Thanks! I definitely have more on the way - some cool, inexpensive mods that anyone can do. Happy New Year!
Excellent step by step instructions. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, Karl! And thanks for watching!
Nice video well done just want to point out that O2 sensors are in the exhaust system not the air intake ducting. You are swapping over the Mass Airflow Sensor to the cold air pkg not an O2 sensor.
Thank you - and thanks for the correction. Learn something new everyday!
Definitely looks way cooler than the one on my 2020 army green tundra. I doubt it improves anything other than looks. But I do want to do this to mine too. Great video. I'll reference this when the time comes. Now just need to wait for great sale price.
Thanks, Joe! Glad you enjoyed it the video. Have fun with the mod!
Joe Jr I didn’t hear anything different, I’ve heard is a waste of money.
It MIGHT add 2-4 horsepower, but that's about it. It also adds a nice low rumble around the 2,500-3,000 RPM level. 👍
Very nice!! Thank you for the tutorial. I'm installing mine in the morning. 😁
Very cool. Thanks for the feedback and for watching. Don't forget to subscribe!

Thank you so much! It's such a cool and easy mod. I hear a deeper rumble at around 2,500-3,000 RPM, especially when climbing hills. Enjoy!
Thank you for creating this excellent video, it's super helpful!

Let me know how your install goes once you get it done!
Love the tutorial for sure! But doesn’t it seem like you just replaced the air filter with a couple couplers and new cover?
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Here are a couple more differences: Larger intake mouth and hose. Rechargeable air filter (similar to K&N).
This video really help me with the installation, thank you
Awesome, Carlos! Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes sir, I call my local Toyota dealer for this installation and was going to charge me $580 plus tax and thanks to your videos I did it in 35 minutos and it works excellent 👍🏻🎉
That's great to hear. I wasn't aware a dealer would charge that much foe install. Good to know. Always a good day when you can upgrade and save cash!
Do you have to disconnect the battery terminal before install the new cold intake or not?
It's alwaya a good idea to disconnect the battery when working in the engine compartment. However, with this job, none of the work is near the battery so I didn't.
do you need to have any reprogramming done after the install? any check engine lights come on? I heard it would need that because there is a different air flow / temperature that the sensor might flag. thanks
No, none of that was needed. I've had no check engine light or anything like that. Pretty much plug and play.
With that whistle/whine in the end is that normal? I’m getting that after installing a K&N and it’s driving me nuts
I haven't really heard any whistle or whine. Honestly, this installation didn't sound different until around 2,500 to 3,500 RPM where there's more of a growl which is nice.
The whistle is coming from the gasket
Question please. Did the TRD CAI improve your trucks fuel economy? Or does it just look cool? My Tundra TRD PRO doesn't need more power as it has plenty. But I would love to make gains in fuel economy.
I probably gained about half a mile per gallon...if that. Not a ton, but something for sure.
Great video. In reference to the cold air intake the only difference I see is the air filter. The rest is the same box. More beautiful, of course but it is only decorative.
Thank you!
Pretty much for looks. The filter, the air flow accelerator (goes in fender), and larger/taller filter housing lid are the main difference. You might get the same performance out of just the filter and air flow accelerator.

Thanks, RoyMAD! I haven't been told that installing this yourself would void a warranty. Almost seems a little far-fetched, but I could be wrong. This is a Toyota part (not aftermarket) so it shouldn't.
There are a few companies that will cover your factory warranty if you use their CAI.
Great to know. Thanks, Kevin!
S&B is one and K&N is another.
Do you have to remove the negative termination at the battery prior removing the air sensor?
Not necessarily. It's always a good idea to remove the negative battery cable whenever you work in the engine compartment, but that's more in case you drop a wrench and it hits a juiced circuit somewhere.
The point of removing the cable is so the computer forgets how you drive. Removing the cable will make the tundra re-learn your driving habits with new cai.
That is another great reason, Christopher.
Has much changed for installing one for a ‘21 platinum?
I'm not sure 9n that, Tim. It can't be much different than this install.
@@MilitarizedCitizen Sweet, thank you!
No worries!
Perfect! Thanks
You're welcome, Scott. Thank for watching!
What about the little hose next to the u shape hose?
Check out 14:47 in the video and you'll see it. It plugs into the same part the U-shaped hose does.
If I install the Trd Cold air intake can I still use a K&n filter instead of trd filter?
Hi Jermaine. I don't think it would fit and you probably wouldn't want to deviate from the filter Toyota provides or you might run into a warranty issue.
excelente video amigo gracias.
De nada amigo!
Where did u purchase the TRD cold Air intake?
I purchased mine at the dealer with a 10% off coupon.
Will this void warranty
Absolutely not. It's a Toyota product and installed on their TRD Tundra package. Thanks for watching, Chris!
Looks like an appearance mod only.
Can this work on the 4.6L SR5?
What year is your Tundra?
@@MilitarizedCitizen following up on this question, I have a 2014 double cab sr5 4.6L debating on getting this intake
This intake is good from 2014-2021. I have two links in the description; the one for this install is the one you need.
why will this intake not fit on the 07-13?
Hi Aaron, where are you seeing that it won't?
@@MilitarizedCitizen I was just going off the fact that you have 1 for the 14 plus and another for 07-13
Oh, yes. Thank you. There are two separate versions. Your best bet is to go with the one that fits your year.
@@MilitarizedCitizen but my question is why? The engine is exactly the same provided that you have the 5.7 is it not? I'm more of a fan of the square style filter
My guess is fit and mounting. The TRD intake uses the existing filter housing - it only replaces the top to fit the new filter. I would imagine the 2014+ version won't fit the 2013- filter housing.
Does your Tundra have the 4.30 rear axle??
I have the stock rear axle.
That’s definitely not an oxygen sensor, it’s a mass air flow sensor
What even makes this different from the stock ?
Two things:
1) Less restrictive air flow
2) Reusable air filter (like K&N)
They also say about 3-5 more horsepower, but that's hard to prove.
Dropping in an aFe 31-10146 Air Filter would be more economical if you don't need the cool factor. The stock housing is already huge.
