Adding Power to my Tacoma?! S&B Air Intake Mod | Sound Test + Install

[@leadnsteel1428]

I got one on my Caynon 2.8 diesel its awesome, and a turbo upgrade 😂. Heres a tip disconnect the battery and take it on a long drive the computer will re adjust for the extra air.

[@abeegonn1]

Any update on performance, fuel mpg or getting dirt in your intake tube? Just purchased a 23 Coma and i always buy S&B. Thinking about doing the same but my taco already has a cai from factory. So I'm thinking about just adding a new drop in filter. Really considering not buying. What do you think!

[@leadnsteel1428]

Just get the whole kit. I have one on my Canyon 2.8 Duramax and it's great. I also upgraded the turbo

[@hardway1746]

Cai gained me 1mpg over stock on my 23Taco, I’ll take it. I’ve put one on every engine I’ve owned from karts to diesels. Exhaust is next. This is the longest I’ve had a vehicle and didn’t change the exhaust 10k miles. Eyeing the borla s exhaust. 👍✌🏻

[@abdullamohsin7471]

Do you have to tune it for the cai

[@hardway1746]

Nope. Tuning isn’t required for CAI.

[@kennlifts]

If you remove your exhaust it makes it loud for free🤌🏽

[@jimb.4062]

That sounds a lot louder than I expected but I dig it, a lot. Exhaust still stock? A cat-back might compliment this nicely

[@TRDJon]

It is for a few more days. I'm adding the carven exhaust to it as well

[@jimb.4062]

Vids of that are a must 😋 Keep it up brother! 🤙

[@joshs2419]

@@TRDJon did the S&B have any effect on the sound of the carven?

[@shanecreason8410]

Add the Carven exhaust too !!!

[@TRDJon]

Will do this week! I plan on it

[@mgw5377]

That sounds nasty . Was gonna go K&N but might be changing my mind.

[@DZ-fx8fg]

Your trucks computer will learn you’re new CAI and it quiets down quite a bit, plus with an exhaust it will become not noticeable. If you want more performance without a tune get some headers.

[@LTADI]

Is it noticeable quicker ?

[@TRDJon]

Throttle response is significantly better yes.

[@alexgg7499]

Sounds like vtec

[@ominecaoutdoors]

I have this same intake along with a MBRP 3 inch cat back exhaust. I can say before I installed my exhaust the sound from this was cool and I had better throttle response. Now since I've installed the cat back, the sound is almost non existent. I think the exhaust sound just overpowers the cai. BUT, with 120,000kms on my 2016, I've changed the spark plugs, for the first time, and noticed better power and more throttle response. I do wish i got a tune for the better pedal to power like a pedal commander states that it helps with.

[@MiguelMorales-sn5eu]

So I was gonna replace my air intake then I seen the box itself has like a cloth like film that acts like a filter? Left it w/o the filter sounds and feels better idk maybe it’s just me but why do they have that?

[@juniorsegovia116]

My air intake is a bit smaller, does it make a difference?

[@TRDJon]

Just make sure it’s the same engine you may have a 4cyl Tacoma if that’s the case

[@tomle2116]

I wonder if you can monitor IAT and MAF on scanner before and after you do CAI to see the difference of the input signals.

[@Slking507]

You can. I used an Autel to read my live data. But I was not diagnosing that so I didn't pay any attention to those numbers. I am also 100% stock besides my lift kit.

[@sarahm.2053]

better to use stock system and just connect a hose from your cabin AC under dash box to your air engine intakes before the filters of course for a true cold air intake...cheaper too

[@thehoss]

DUDE! I watched you when I had my 4runner years ago and now Im getting a Taco...low and behold...you got a TACO!!!!

[@TRDJon]

Ohhhhh yea

[@Papolucho702]

Did this to the SR5 4Runner we had before. The top end power definitely increased. That SOUND, I miss that lol but I did a flowmaster flowfx exhaust on the TRD off road this time. I’ll be getting that intake eventually. 😅

[@TRDJon]

Sounds great!

[@joshs2419]

@@TRDJon did the s&b ever throw you a CEL?

[@FishHeadsIV]

How are these in the winter

[@TRDJon]

Great

[@withdawind]

No that time has passed, has the computer adjusted itself negating the gains?

[@benruthlessburger8905]

He sold this Tacoma long time ago

[@withdawind]

😂

[@MrBallsOfficial]

Just installed one of these a couple weeks ago. Def feels quicker and sounds awesome. I didn’t use the 2nd intake like you did on the front. I’m curious if there’s a noticeable difference.

[@TRDJon]

Good to hear!

[@WJr_88]

I had this on my 2019 Taco without the front piece... I thought, less bugs and other crap getting to the filter. I am going to put this on my 2023.

[@janais2011]

Would you recommend this cold air intake or the injen version for the Tacoma?

[@justice4all32]

Will this work if you have added hydraulic hood lifts?

[@Mike-4547]

No I had to remove mine I was a bit upset about it because I spent $50 and only had them for a few weeks but I knew if I cut the box it was going to be a disaster.

[@VanAllenVlogs]

First!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks Van!!!!!

[@FranciscoSantana-i1p]

Did check engine light on? Mine did and it dies on me every 200-300 miles 😫😫

[@TRDJon]

No it never did. Did you make sure to plug the MAF sensor in properly?

[@Mike-4547]

Thanks for the video. I just saw a video that you took it off and gave it some other KZbinr forgot the name. What was the reason you took it off? Asking because I just purchased one for my 2023 Tacoma v6 4x4.😢wife doesn’t care about the money but she will be pissed if it’s junk.

[@TRDJon]

That was on the 4Runner. I wanted to try the trd intake

[@Mike-4547]

@@TRDJon thanks for the reply definitely appreciate it

[@ceelocc1]

Is it legal in California???

[@leizzai]

Great video! I have a question. I want to install a set of hood struts in my tacoma for the ease of opening the hood, but I am worried about the passenger side strut being in the way of my S&B intake I plan to purchase and install. Have you come across this issue or know anyone that has?

[@TRDJon]

I have no idea if they will hit man.

[@TheKingDorito]

Is this a stock ECT or have you done a tune? I’m wondering what my truck will do if I do both

[@TRDJon]

Stock

[@KadenMiller-hz6qy]

Could I install this into my second gen taco?

[@TRDJon]

No but they may have one for it

[@PureBlood777]

What filter did you purchase? Cotton or Dry?

[@TRDJon]

I did the cleanable one

[@PureBlood777]

Cleanable Cotton OK thanks

[@danyo5509]

What’s the difference between those?

[@DaLightBlue]

Sounds great

[@TRDJon]

Thanks

[@citizenpark2782]

S&B or AFE for a CAI?

[@TRDJon]

Can't go wrong with either. I enjoy them both. AFE has that power scoop though for more air.

[@chriswarren9857]

Does this void the warranty?

[@blackfox2739]

probably

[@innocenceends5269]

no

[@_Budlightyear_]

hey man how would this thing perform compared to the trd cold air intake?

[@WJr_88]

Not trying to butt in but just look at the difference. The TRD is just missing the extra muffler part on the tubing

[@uno3863]

I'm lookin to buy this for my 2nd Gen 🤔🤔

If it is a v6 it should

[@jackciccarello1754]

Yes it does it will fit any 3rd gen Tacoma

[@AgentJ1984]

Curious as to why you have to disconnect the negative battery post. Thanks

[@Mike-4547]

You really don’t but anytime you unplug or plug electrical components it’s just safer and it only takes a few seconds to do it. I was a 35 year diesel mechanic for buses in a North Metropolitan area did electrical work on them for 15 years and I would disconnect the negative cable just to be safe or in case I would have to walk away from the job to get parts etc.

[@AgentJ1984]

@@Mike-4547 thank you for the reply Mike. Better to be safer than sorry on those components.

[@Mike-4547]

@@AgentJ1984 I just wanted to give you an update they want you to disconnect the negative cable before starting the job and keep it off for 2 hours that will reset everything and you won’t get a check engine light. I did mine yesterday and it took me about 1.5 hours because of neighbors coming over to BS which now I’ll glad it happened because it worked out and I didn’t know about the reset.

[@UnkKnownKedd]

Thanks for the vid!

[@TRDJon]

No problem!

[@UncleFjester]

Haha...In the '70's we would flip the air cleaner cover upside down to expose the filter. It made noise and made us feel like it had better throttle response, but it wasn't anything measurable. You prolly think its faster because you're stomping on the long skinny pedal today, when you normally don't. So you wasted your money for views, again.

[@TRDJon]

Cool story man. I guess these new cars are drive by wire too like the old ones you used to drive? Or airflow increase does nothing to a modern NA motor? Sounds good...

[@SeahawkAz]

@@jandelahoussaye9834 you already have a cold air intake stock, it will be louder the performance isn’t any better. The only noticeable performance increase will be a supercharger or tune
