TRD Intake full install and review - 2010-2022 Toyota 4Runner

[@jam4567]

Installed by TRD CAI this afternoon, very happy. The intake has a throatier sound and should pair well with a Magnaflow overland series exhaust in a few weeks. Thanks for the install video, first rate and straight forward installation.

[@yotaxpedition]

Awesome! Will definitely sound good with the exhaust.

[@jesseoverlin4379]

How do you like that combo? Thinking of doing the same

One of the best install videos I’ve ever watched. GREAT camera angles, lighting and step-by-step! Buying one

@@Lamidnightsss thanks! Appreciate it. Glad we could help

Excellent install videos. Encourage you to keep going. Y'all are doing great.

[@Winterfell1066]

I ordered a TRD CAI for my 2024 4Runner off amazon before Christmas. It was discounted about $150 from list price. However, the seller shipped it by USPS (boo). It got lost in shipping (Literally, the tracking info said Package Lost) and after about 5 weeks, I was able to get Amazon to refund my money. Then... Lo and Behold, it was delivered to me last Thursday, Feb, 1st. So, I got it free. The same day, I received a S&B intake, that I will now send back to them. I had ordered the S&B because it was significantly cheaper and still had good reviews, but now I no longer need it. Miracles do happen.

[@yotaxpedition]

I love when stuff like that happens lol. Sometimes you get lucky.

[@lee_gandhis_nuts5874]

I'll take whichever one you don't want 😢

[@TheKingInHiding]

By far the best install video I’ve seen for this intake 👍 Here in Canada, Toyota kept telling me the TRD Intake “is not available for 2020 & up models”. So I gave up. I ended up installing an S&B in my 2020 Pro. It’s good, but I secretly wish I had the TRD Intake. Keep up the great videos.

[@yotaxpedition]

Yeah, I'm not to sure why Toyota claims this doesn't fit when it clearly works fine.

[@davesantimaw5413]

I just purchased my TRD CAI for my 2012 FJ Cruiser TTSE and watched a lot of install instructions via KZbin but yours is the best thus far. Thank you!

@@yotaxpedition I have a follow on Q. I installed the CAI per your video and then had no cold air via my aircon the following day. I’m not sure if they both correlate to each other but wanted to check in with if you experienced the same? I’ve got my FJ scheduled for a Freon recharge on Monday.

Do you really need to undo the plug? Looks like it would still reach without having to redo the tape, etc.... 🤔🤔

[@TheRealAMR-]

Can you see the red filter sticking out on the front facing side? My lid seems to not to be fitting exactly.

[@yotaxpedition]

Between the top and lower portion of the airbox you can see a very little bit of red. The 2 sections of the airbox are squeezing the filter edge to create a seal.

[@TheRealAMR-]

@@yotaxpedition did you noticed any mpg increase or decrease? Mine lowered. Any ideas on what I can check?

[@Lamidnightsss]

@@TheRealAMR-as to be expected if it’s taking more air and increasing some power. Even if it’s just a handful of horses.

[@jamesc6137]

It looks like the OEM one that’s pulled out could be considered a cold air intake as well right? I mean it’s drawing air from the same place behind the fender wall as the TRD one correct?

[@robw2326]

What size is that second smaller fitting you’re installing at the like 9:35ish mark? My kit didn’t come with one and I need to source one.

[@yotaxpedition]

Where did you order the kit? I would contact them and see if you can get a replacement.

[@christiannardi]

I have a 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, and I’m planning to install a Safari snorkel next month. I wanted to ask if there are any issues I should be aware of regarding the installation. Will it work properly with my vehicle?

[@jamesc6137]

does to top and bottom of the box seal together as good as to original? I only saw you install two clamps on the trd one…. does it hinge from the other side?

[@yotaxpedition]

Seals perfectly fine. But you are correct, only 2 clamps on the TRD one.

[@airup1275]

Having trouble accessing the air filter with trd cold air intake. The way lid of hinges on the back of the air filter box makes this difficult. Have you found a good way to do this without taking the tube off the filter box and potentially needing to unplug the MAF?

[@yotaxpedition]

We didn’t run into an issue with getting the lid on and off. We’ll look into it though.

[@johnallen6417]

could you do this on a 4Runner that has a Super Charger on it? or would it be pointless?

[@4535goldenage]

How would yall compare the TRD intake to the AFE pro dry s?

[@LeojrBernal]

Im confused i tried to order on toyota websites about trd cold intake but I put my toyota 4runner 2022 limited but it say that not compatible?

[@yotaxpedition]

Don't listen to the dealership. They just go off what the computer tells them. It fits as you can see in the video.

[@yourdailyblockchain]

Great video, thanks. Just followed your vid to do my install. I noticed the top cover doesn't exactly completely seal - I can still see the edge of the red filter between the top and bottom cover. Did your top cover close and seal completely? Looks like some dust may be able to get into the box? Thx

[@yotaxpedition]

The filter should be squished between the top and bottom of the air box. Seeing the edge of the filter is normal.

[@yourdailyblockchain]

@@yotaxpedition Awesome thanks

[@tb693ny6]

i thought they didn't make a cold air intake for the 2022 4 runner or is this an older version that's compatible? I wanted one for my 2022 TRD Pro 4Runner

[@yotaxpedition]

Toyota claims it doesn't fit but that's why we made this video. Fits perfectly fine with zero issues.

[@tb693ny6]

@@yotaxpedition Spoke to a dealer, said in states that require an emissions test during yearly inspections could possibly fail. Anyone having that issue?

[@yotaxpedition]

We haven't had any issues with that. I'm not really sure how it would affect emissions to the point where it wouldn't pass. If you have no check engine light on then it should pass. And we've had ours installed for almost a year with zero issues.

[@lukekillion]

Should make a custom engine cover!! Just an idea

[@rossipremier]

Looks nicer for sure, and a K&N style filter but they both pickup air from the fender so this is really just cosmetic and sound right?

[@yotaxpedition]

You'll get better air flow as well. The new filter flows better and the intake tube also doesn't have a baffle on it, just straight pipe into the intake.

[@josecastro2630]

Did you guys disconnect the negatives terminal?

[@yotaxpedition]

Yes. You probably don't have to but since you're unplugging the MAF sensor, better safe than sorry. Takes 10 seconds to loosen the terminal.

[@matthernandez210]

Great install!! No wonder these 4runner suck water up. Just an elbow into the fender

[@yotaxpedition]

Yup! That's why we also installed a brand new snorkel on it as well. There's a video on it if you wanna check it out!

[@Mike-sp4iz]

Might've just sold me on one of these!

We're doing a giveaway on one soon as well! Keep an eye on our site or instagram

[@CMS069]

There are a lot of us who are more concerned than just looks and sound. How about performance?

[@yotaxpedition]

Really cant answer that unless we had a dyno to see the difference.

[@matthewgrossman7157]

Great video. I have a '23 TRD Pro, so wouldn't it have a 'TRD intake' minus the branding? Or is this really a different beast?

[@yotaxpedition]

If your intake does not have the TRD logo, then it is the same as the standard air box on the lower trims.

Can you still add a snorkel on it

[@yotaxpedition]

Most, if not all snorkels are manufactured to fit the OEM intake. But the TRD intake is pretty much the same design as the OEM one and should work. I've seen people do it before. I can't say the same for other intakes.

[@tonysteele3805]

Wow this is a lot harder than on the Tacoma.

Yes, ours is a 2022 and the 2023 is the same.

[@richardstone5241]

It looks better and sounds better? Yeah, well that's like a fishing lure designed to catch fisherman instead of fish! And, depending on where you buy this thing it will cost you $350.00+ for some plastic. I care about PERFORMANCE (air filtration, mpg, reliability, horse power).

[@faascencio]

That stock oem intake looks better than the TRD intake your installing……..looks bigger too 😮

[@yotaxpedition]

Whatever you like. But all the extra nonsense on the OEM one is sound dampening so you don't hear the intake as much.

[@iandipaola7692]

Do other brand cold air intakes, such as S&B void warranty?

[@yotaxpedition]

Technically no, they shouldn’t. But this will depend mostly on your specific Toyota dealer. If you want to be 100% sure, I’d go with the TRD.

[@josecastro2630]

So for reference, if you don’t buy the item from Toyota it will most definitely void your warranty, even if it’s a Toyota product it has to go through them. Any after market item that isn’t Toyota will void the warranty, I found out through my dealer when i got my 4runner

[@rogerlopez4808]

I have a 21 PRO, wanted to upgrade to the TRD CAI...toyota told me there isn't one made for that yr and model

They claim it doesn't fit but it 100% fits. Before we did the install I talked to Toyota and they told me the same thing. That's why we tried it and made this video. To show it does work.

Dynos out there also confirm minimal HP/Torque gains. 350 bucks and a self-install for a 5hp/19ft lbs on a $45k vehicle is worth it to me. Even if it only offsets my additional skid plate weight. What may be a waste to you isn't for an enthusiast. We all spend our money the way we'd like. That's why we work hard to earn it for ourselves.

[@rupertcornelius8924]

​​@@SamuelBalsamaExactly! That works out to $70 per pony. Doesn't sound like a waste to me. I have the TRD intake on my limited 4x4 and I love it. I also have a cat back exhaust, pedal commander and an adaptive "race chip". I did each mod one at a time to see how much each changed the truck. Individually it wasn't much, like the intake. The biggest difference was adding the chip, which I did last. Really ties all the mods together and allows the engine to make better use of it's new lungs. I'd love to Dyno it for actual numbers, but it's definitely a different truck now. Feels sporty and powerful. Certainly not words I would have used to describe it when I first got it. Currently looking at the 76mm throttle body everyone says ALSO "does nothing and is a complete waste of money." Which I'm beginning to think translates to "would be kinda cool if I could afford one".
