Cold air intake

Hi guy's, first time posting but I've been reading alot on this forum. I have a 2016 Tundra SR5, would a cold air intake be any real benefit? If so can you recommend a specific unit?

Thanks,

No.

Welcome aboard!

 

That was far to simple. Thanks!

 

It was a simple question.
You're welcome.

 

Welcome to the party!!

Well, if your stock truck didnt already have a CAI, id say maybe. Long story short no after market intake will give you any gains on these trucks. You can upgrade to an AFE dry drop in filter replacement, though.

 

Welcome from Aurora. You have a CAI. Drop in a K&N and you are good to go.

 

Yea I was hoping for a little gain. Living in Colorado at 6500 feet I need at the HP I can get. I just thought it might help. Thanks guys!! I'll save my money for some other mod.

 

The TRD intake box does look awesome!

 

Thanks Grey Wolf! I'm up in Horsetooth. Love this truck!!

 

Well that's worth something

 

Welcome from BC, truck already came with a “cold air intake” system but, you can improve it by doing the SABM!this option is cheaper then the aftermarket system, I felt a performance improved and truck sound good without being too loud.

 

Welcome from Sin City

 

So is this just bogus?

What is this SABM you speak of?

 

Help the rookie, what is an SABM? I can here the laughing already ....

 

Stock air box mod

 

What did you do for this mod?

 

Thanks for putting up the link!

 

Not bogus....just won't help much. Been using these since the early 70's with zero issues>>>>>>

 

I gained just a little more sound from the engine and "prettiness" under the hood!

 

Sure looks good though!

 

Just my 2 cents, I’ve got a 2016 5.7 and dropped a k&n a few weeks ago. Performance is definitely better as far as low end torque and responsiveness but I did see a drop in mpg. I usually drive pretty smooth so not sure what happened there.

Plus after the filter swap I started to notice a whistling around 2k rpm so I’m going to need to swap out my throttle body gasket.

 

I'm wondering why you would lose MPG and why you get a Whistling noise from just a K&N drop in filter?

 

From what I’ve researched. The k&n is allowing more air flow (cfm) to the throttle body. there is a gasket that is on the throttle body that has a screen mesh that is restricting the airflow ( don’t know how much cause it’s only a metal screen) but the increase flow is causing the whistle. Any one want to help me out?

 

That makes sense. I didn't realize the K&N allowed that much more CFM. Good to know.

 

Yea. Not sure if I’m going to go back to disposable filter or replace the gasket and see if that make any mpg difference. Might have to see exactly how much I lost.

 

anyone have the part number for just the tube between the airbox and the throttle body?
