    Has anyone here done both the air intake and snorkel kit upgrade? Maybe both products that cohesively goes actually hand in hand? I'm curious cause I saw that Injen has an air intake for the Tacoma that inducts air from the snorkel kit and from the passenger front engine compartment. I wanna increase my HP and fuel economy hopefully so anything retaining to both helps.

    You’re not going to get any significant benefit with a snorkel and/or intake. It’s your money though so spend it as you please.

    A snorkel is mostly for looks on a Tundra. It can cause a lot of MAF issues for some trucks. Quite honestly, if you have a lifted tundra and plan on doing river/stream crossings, know that the airbox on a Tundra is very high up (pretty much against the hood) and is typically not in a spot that can get water into unless you're doing crossings that go above your hood for extended periods. Even so, I've had luck just tightly tying a garbage bag around the airbox just for the crossing then taking it off once across.

    The snorkel should never be thought of as an upgrade in engine performance, unless you get a pre-filter style head which does get you a smidge more clean air into the engine but even then it's negligible.
