Do you have an upgraded intake? Or are you keeping it stock??

Was curious to see if the TRD upper box had the charcoal filter still, looks like it does!
I’m sorry but the black and red looks so siiiiiick! Good job! By the way you should pin your comment so it stays at the top of the comments.
I just dropped a KN filter in the stock box.
Toy_runner here got any ideas on a new grill?
OMG, your channel is the best! The seat jackers are dope (I'm not a tall woman) and then give room for the compressor. From one software engineer to another, I'm literally following your roadmap. I wish you had a Jira server for it. :) Your truck looks so good in silver it finally put to rest my internal debate between inferno and silver. Every mod you pick is exactly what I would pick (want those sliders real bad). Thank you! So, so stoked I found your channel.
I love how you're doing all these upgrades on your Taco...I love how you explaining the install and details. Toyota needs to hire you to promote their products for Tacomas. Tacoma ambassador.
It should come as no surprise that you're closing in on 25 THOUSAND subscribers. You produce exceptional content, your editing is on point and you're upgrading your Tacoma with tasteful and sensible mods. I'm doing the TRD intake but will be pairing it with the TRD exhaust. I'm pretty sure the exhaust is on your short list as well.
Thanks 😊 I’m thinking about doing the exhaust now too!
Dude so awesome!!! I love that your modding your tacoma and explain in a simple way to people !!! Can’t wait to build mine out
Sadly people don't realize your not increasing the amount of air your just making it easier for the air to flow and the engine to get what it needs. plus you can get the same results by just dropping in a K&N oiled filter without buying the TDR kit. Plus if you modify your original air entrance guard (see time stamp 9:14) and cut the splash guard (the half cup looking part off) you'll remove air floe restriction/turbulence. The only true way to increase air volume into the engine is with a turbo or a super charger. Yet with that all said you keep doing what you do Chloe. The look is nice and modding your vehicle is making it truly yours. keep up the good videos, and keep living the taco life.
That's fairly true. With colder air it is denser which is why fuel economy drops in the winter. You will need more fuel with colder denser air, but you'll get a small bump in power. She claimed better fuel economy, but there could be a number of factors. So I do not know. I'll have to go back to see all the parts included with the kit, but it just looked like the upper air box, red colored couplers, the "performance" air filter, and the horn shaped rubber piece that attached to the bottom of the air box. I think she reused the middle part of the stock intake that includes the resonator box. I'll have to go back and look, but if it came with a new resonator box that would account for a different sound.
I think the magic part is probably that horn shaped rubber piece if the kit does make any extra power. Watching people build cars, and messing with plenum shape/size, intake runner size/length, and the opening horn shape on individual throttle bodies affect horse power. Sure that kit may suck in a bit more water than the stock configuration, but it shouldn't hurt anything unless you submerge it or maybe block it with mud. Unless you hydrolock your engine, a bit of moisture should just steam clean your piston, and then exit the exhaust.
What I like about this system is it opens up the intake, and maybe gets cooler air unlike an aftermarket cold air intake with a long tube. A long tube may get colder air, but throttle response suffers because it has to equalize the pressure of that longer tube where as a short intake would have better response. A short ram intake is subject to heat soak though.
Edit; went back to look at the parts 2:38 it seems it comes with that middle black tube. So after measuring the tube diameter, and if it is the same you could stay with stock sound or go with the trd kit middle pipe. I'VE NEVER LAID HANDS ON THE KIT, but I would expect the only difference would be the resonator. You wouldn't hear the sound difference at the exhaust, but rather in the engine bay.
Your detailed camera angles, instructions are very impressive. I also love that you like working on vehicles. Looking forward to your next project and hopefully some maintenance videos
Thank you! I’ll have a maintenance video coming soon! 😁
Thank you for your posts. I just bought a used 2019 Tacoma TRD 4+4, and I enjoy watching what you have done to your Tacoma.
Hi Chloe., Thank you for posting. New install looks very nice. I recently upgraded my air filter on my vehicle. I didn't realize how a little change could make a slight improvement in acceleration.
Safe travels as always.
Great informative video, Chloe! My TRD intake
for my 2016 Taco is scheduled to arrive this Wednesday. I’m super excited. The intake is aesthetic.
Way to go Chloe! I did this as my first mod on my 2019...love it! Remember to do a before and after using ECT.
I just got a Tacoma and your videos have been so helpful in installing some of my mods, and helping me choose what to get. Keep up the great work.
Congrats on your new Tacoma!
more sound yes, more power, not likely since the stock air filter on the Tacoma is the same element as on the 5.7 l Tundra.
Glad you found Sparks Toyota, they are great to deal with.
Thank you so much for the most excellent instructions and video!!! I just installed my brand new TRD intake. You are awesome!
This girl knows how to edit a video!
Thank you 😊🙌🏼
You're the best
Got the TRD Intake, TRD Stainless Exhaust, and rear sway bar on my 08 TRD Tundra Crewmax. Been working flawless for over 12 years. You made a good choice!
Nice! 😎
Nice work Chloe! I might try this one all by myself to recover some of the power and mpg loss I'm seeing after having installed pizza cutter 33s. Awesome detail with the decibel A/B testing!
Hi Chloe! These are the videos I love. Very informative and helpful. Amazing editing as well! Thank you so much for being all you can be! Getting my Tacoma late September!!! =D
How exciting and congrats!
Awesome job. 👍🏻. Keep it up just bought new 2021 Tacoma trd 4x4 off road. Super excited to add all these new mods to it.
Looks great, I will be using your discount code for my own this year as well, thanks!
Thank you that website you always come in clutch 🙏🙌💯❤
I envy your hands. Your hands can weave through your vehicle parts/engine like butter.
I just got myself a tacoma! 2019 super stoked, thanks for sharing!
I luv it 💓 TRD intake looks amazing
Great job Chloe! I have done this on mine as well. Mainly for looks IMO but I like it.
Love your content and presentation.
Honestly, this is probably my favorite channel now.
Aww, thanks 😊
@Dale Macarena nice, I just got a taco too! Been looking at other channels but you’re right I like watching this channel because it’s the perfect DD and off-road build which is where I want to keep my truck. Any other good channels you can recommend?
Ya me too! Im waiting on my 2021 to be built
Going to purchase mine today! Great video Chloe!!
Your content is good and your presentations are spot-on. You’re a Champion
I really like your seats. Also, the information you covey is very concise. People have zero attention span, so having concise communication via tight editing will help you grow your subscriber base. Just sayin'. Well done!
I’m amazed by the video! It’s very professional! Also Chloe caught my attention 😂
Always great videos, well explained. Very professional.
Hi, I had my dealer installed this to my 22 taco off road last week, what a difference, feels like the truck has more energy because it can breath better.
That was a really good break down!
Great job as always on your video Chloe.
Very good video. U will love your new upgrade of your cold air intake. I have the EFE cold air intake. I bought the complete set. Comes with cold air intake throttle body spacer and comes with a hood scoop. Keep up the good work.
Sorry AFE cold air intake i have .
Another great installation vid! I just got a 2021 TRD Off-Road and would love to gain 2 MPG. I like not buying air filters as well.
Chloe,
I did this mod and for sure the exhaust is more throaty sounding. Nice. I think perhaps slightly more power too. I would say a bit pricey but then OEM is usually more. Sparks is a great dealer. I update my GPS map (have 2017 Tacoma Sport in quicksand color) too at Sparks and it is slight different map than what had. Tracks the roads i previously drove on. Another mod I did is added hydraulic hood lifts that were recommended good choice, USA made.
Just installed this bad boy on the BlueTaco. As always thanks for the install videos 😊
Always great content! Good work!
Awesome clips as always. Thanks.
Be careful not to get a ticket hot rodding your 🌮 around town! Great video Chloe. Thanks for the info on Sparks parts!
Might have to add it to the list of mods I need to do this summer 👀
I ordered one from Spark Parts , installed it and it’s working great for me . I’ve noticed that there’s more torque and better MPG
First let me say BRAVO! I'm a contractor out here in SoCal and wish there were guys with the ability to open a hood and stick a tool in there like you! I am in AWE!
Never owned a Toyota but just bought the Army Green Taco. This is a cool setup, bet combined with an exhaust and a tuner increases the HP and Torque significantly (along with better MPG and a cooler running engine). Did this to a Dakota I owned back in the 90's, that truck was bad ass. Ever look into this?
Great Video. I just did this mod. Putting the airflow sensor back on is much easier if you do it before re-assembling everything.
Im definitely buy the trd air intake ,Chloe thanks for your info
I just got my toyota taco trd offroad and im watching your UA-cam video
Heloww miss, love the simplicity of your video, very well explained, I'm planning on getting my very own "Taco" and changing the air intake will be my first mod, I'll follow your directions to the letter, 🌹
Yeah Chloe! I'll be getting one now. OEM is always best.
Love your channel!! I’m local to SD too and would move to see your seat covers in person!
If you like the intake.... you should get the TRD Pro exhaust.... I did both at the same time and it made a huge difference....
MPG and power.... I only run 91 in my truck
Chloe; I am amazed at the push-back on the TRD CAI. Its not TRULY a cold air intake but its volume is bigger. I experienced a 1.5-2 mpg uptick immediately with the CAI. Knowing though that what goes in must come out, I added the CAT back TRD exhaust. The mpg improvement of the two improvements is still 1.5 mpg, it sounds pretty mellow, it drives with a bit more power which also seemed to have eliminated the transmission downshifting issue people complain about. If people can stomach the $900 or so that the two items will cost (self installed), these are WELL worth it. I LOVE this truck.
If you order the pieces separately it's way more cheaper
I drove my truck for 3 years before I messed with the air intake. By doing so I got a good knowledge of what my truck drove like in all conditions. A few months ago I added a Safari Snorkel. I noticed immediately an increase in responsiveness and power. It was well worth it.
Thanks for saving me the extra years. Gonna get a snorkel now instead of this trd intake for my mall crawler 🤙🏼
@@Jason56B lol it really does make a difference. And take that mall crawler on a dirt road once in a while. Youll love it haha #cheers!
I’ve been thinking about getting a snorkel for mine! Glad the safari has worked out for you
Snorkels do not add horsepower! Lol 😂
@@gilg2560 I said it increased the trucks responsiveness. Not that it added HP. More air/colder air equals bigger bang... do you need me to break this down for you more?
I just installed one of these in my 2019 Chr xle yesterday. Drove it around today for about 1 1/2 hours on the highway and street. I can feel a difference that seems to speed up a lot faster in all modes. The sound is nice as well. Going to add the trd lowering springs next.
Your content is top notch!
Thanks for the grate content Chole
Just purchased the 2021 4x4 Toyota Tacoma. Can’t wait to put some upgrades soon!
Thanks for the info. Great video
I’m so bummed! I was going to order this for my 2021 TRD off-road but the website says it will not fit. I emailed sparks parts to confirm.
You did a great job with the install and video.
Looking forward to more.
I love that you are a female and you aren’t afraid to wrench on your own vehicle. 👏
Luckily it will fit all the way up to the 2021 without an issue! The only reason that it doesn't show that fitment on the website is because Toyota has to get them CARB approved in all 50 states before updating fitment. It will bolt on without an issue and if you are in an area that does not have emissions testing, you are all set!
@@sparksparts7846 ordered it! Can’t wait to get it installed
@@sparksparts7846 dose this stand to be true for the 21 and 22 Tacoma?
@@sparksparts7846 i just ordered this intake for my 2021 trd off road on your website. I live in Cal, will this fit on my truck? Thanks
Great job Chloe!
Code still works! At first copying and pasting it didn't work but typing it in lowercase and then it worked all of a sudden.
For sound tests, it may be good to check the frequency spectrum. It may sound as loud, but probably the upgraded trd intake sounds more in the lower frequencies
Thank you for your excellent video!!
One thing to note, the airflow accelerator should go through the hole into your fender well first and then the lower airbox slides onto it. If you try to push it against the hole inside the engine bay, the accelerator will collapse and leave a gap that pulls hot air from your engine bay.
Great installation
I put this upgraded intake together with the TRD Pro exhaust on my 2019 TRD 4X4 and had the same outcomes. Additional Gas mileage is between 2 to 3 mpg with a noticeable improvement in acceleration. However these mods are not cheap and you need to weigh that expense against suspension upgrades and accessories you may need for overlanding and camping. Bottom line, if you have the coinage, do it.
Agree! These were the exact improvements I noticed as well 🙂
How much is this mod?
Greetings from Canada. Love love love your videos. You have such an amazing presence
Amazing job and content! It would be dope if you did some camping vidsss
Cool! Looks great and sounds great! I want one.
Love red and black! Imma put this on the list. I want to customize my 2020 TURD Off Road kinda like yours but with black and red accents in the cabin and engine bay.
That's sweet looking, engine looking too Kool!
Nice work...looks great.
Good vid. Just want to let you know that the increase in performance and mpg is from installing a new air filter, especially since the old one was used.
I Love that intake!!! :O i think i should get it on my Taco! TACO POWER ACTIVATE!
Can’t wait to get my new 2021 Tacoma sr5 this week.
I just put in the filter and the mass flow excel in the fender does the same as the kit and saves you a ton of money
True, if you get the different intake flow accelerator and filter, you probably get the same results as the whole TRD kit. Would be cool to try out and compare!
@@ChloeKuo I noticed a difference from stock so im pleased , great videos by the way. real helpful
It definitely looks nice! I'm not a big fan of the oiled gauze filters though. If I were to get one of these intakes I'd keep the OEM filter. Your engine compartment is so clean!
The whole point is in the filter itself pal
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai The oiled gauze filters will destroy your engine unless you are just a mall ninja who never drives off highway. They provide no performance benefit at all. Prove me wrong. I'm waiting.
@@gonerydin4225
You're kinda right, Mishimoto doesn't recommend oiled filters for off roading. But i read that damage from oil filters will only occur if filter maintenance is being done wrong i.e spraying too much oil when re-oiling.
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai So why risk it it for dubious advantage? The OEM filter performs adequately on a stock motor. And they are pretty cheap, all considered.
I have the s&b intake thing is killer and looks good
I'm thinking about the injen intake, but honestly it'll be one of my last mods since stock is already a cold air intake. With other mods for the engine, it would be nice to get a tune. Getting that Magnuson Supercharger would be better though. 😁
I heard the injen intake has a bad droning sound around 2,500 rpm I would do some research before you buy it unless you bought it already
Thanks for doing this video. I have been thinking of adding a cold air intake on mine. Just trying to decide which company I should go for.
This one is great! I’ve also heard good things about the K&N one, but I think it’s not legal in CA unfortunately
Injen
Great channel! I have a 20 Tacoma Pro.
Hey Chloe ! Appreciate and love all your videos I am a fellow Toyota owner and enjoy your work it makes me wish to have fellow Toyota enthusiasts more locally to me to go on off-road trips with . Sorry for the soap opera but I was wondering if overall you’d recommend this as a purchase , I hear some saying it’s just cosmetic and doesn’t do much but I always considered this as a mod . I drive a 21 4Runner venture . Thank you !
What a coincidence. I’m visiting Sparks Toyota this Saturday to buy a Taco 😁
Looks awesome.
Got a afe intake and cat back. Wasn't a big difference beside I like how it sounds. Should of went with the trd cause cheaper. I would remove that after filter screen to maybe help with air flow. But the greatest mod was the kd max tune, which is a modified version of the ov tune, suppose to be even better. I pull with mine and it is a big difference. Great video too.
This looks awesome !!!
I need !
Looks nice!
Works best when paired with the TRD cat back exhaust.
For anyone wondering a Arb snorkel WILL attach to this TRD intake even though they claim it wont. I just installed that set up on my 2020 PRO.
Awesome video
I just throw an K&N into my stock box. Works great.
Nice job
Report back in a month or two when your ECU has reprogrammed to account for the increased airflow into the engine. I've tried a couple of intakes, both Injen and K&N. Both provided a bit louder intake noise and what I thought was a bit more torque but after a few hundred miles the trucks performance returned to normal if not a little less responsive. The only way intakes and high flow filters increase power correctly is to have the ECU retuned. It looks cool but I'm not sure looking cool under the hood increases performance or gas mileage.
Would the OVtune be fine?
@@Lobo1604 from what I understand the OV tune remaps the ECU and takes the "learning" ability away. The gains you get from an OV tune are permanent.
I got the k&n intake manifold with ovtune and it’s beast!
@@Imagehype
Defined Beast
My dad has a RAV4 v6
Before K&N dropped in filter it would run 15.1 in the 1/4 mile with the original filter then after K&N 15.4
Different vehicle now
6.0 Silverado with original filter for example 300hp at the wheels tbh I don’t remember exact numbers but I do remember getting 1hp from K&N cool air intake $200 and total of 8 unnoticeable hp after tune but from 18mpg it went down to 15mpg , dyno numbers
Unless it’s a 80s till 90s then yes any after market CAÍ is always better than stock
As she is in SoCal it isnt smog legal so its moot unless its allowed in another state.
AYE shout out to Sparks Toyota Myrtle Beach that’s where I got my Tacoma from! Lol
Good luck cleaning that filter, I find out is easier to buy a new one. However, it might be material for a new video. Good job.
Good job.
one important thing to keep in mind; Any upgrade that is used for air flow intake into the motor, you should always get the vehicle tuned to account for the airflow. That's the only way to fully optimize the increase in power. Thats why I always wait to do all of my intake/airflow mods all together and immediately take it in for a tune.
How much does it typically cost for a tune?
The kd max tune pro xt is around 350-400 and has 3 different mods light normal and sport i have it along with trd exhaust system and trd CAI and 93 octane totally different truck i have on sport super mad aggressive and responsive trust me you won’t be dissatisfied
Actually, the air flow sensor talks to the CPU and modifies the fuel mixture accordingly. Your engine is smart, and "learns" everything including the way you drive. There are no Tunes specific to a Cold Air Intake, because there is no need for one.
@@adanrios5884 I got my tune for $200 2 years ago. The tune alone would have changed your truck, the exhaust and intake barely make any difference other than more aggressive sound.
Looks great! I did the cheap version (Intake Flow Accelerator and a high flow filter). Didn’t notice a power gain, but have had my best fuel economy (up by .3-.5mpg) consistently over the last several weeks. Will be curious of you long term updates. I got my IFA from Sparks too!🤙🏻
That sounds like it’s the way to go! The setup seems like it’s identical to stock except for the filter and IFA
It has been proven time and time again that a CAI does nothing unless you have a super charger or a turbo, They do make you 400 bucks less rich though. If a CAI gave you 5 more mpg you can bet your ass it would come stock on your truck already.....Don't you think that would be a huge selling point for the manufactures?
Looks like the 805, I work in Miramar. San Diego represent!
Chloe love the channel, Regarding performance mods, have you ever looked into getting your truck tuned (I think on TW there are dyno graphs showing power/torque increase)? There is a very popular tuning kit by OVTune that alot of folks are saying is worth the money! You should check it out
Thanks! After I got the latest TSB from my dealership, I’m happy with the performance of my truck, so I’m holding off on OVTune for now 😎
I put a cold air intake on my on my Stage 2 TDI and which would be way more noticeable then a naturally aspirated engine. It's placebo effect you hear way more engine noise which can even become annoying but pretty much no power gains and after seeing that a replacement filter was $120 I just went to stock and bought $30 K&N filter. I personally spent the money on something more noticeable.
I have this intake on my 2017 trd off road tacoma. I wouldn't but it again because I didn't notice any difference in mpg or power. I paid $400+. If this increased efficiency or power it would be reflected on the trd pro models. They come with this intake stock and are rated exactly the same power and mpgs as the trd off road models. It is though aesthetically pleasing and the reusable filter is great.
I just bought a completely stock 2019 TRD Pro Taco and it did not come with this TRD performance intake system at all.
