Review on πŸš€ K&N Cold Air Intake Kit: High Performance, Guaranteed Horsepower Boost: Compatible with 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L V6, 63-9039 by Brian Olson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

See installation video here.

Benefits: Noticeable increase in performance that will continue to improve over the next few weeks of driving. More power and faster throttle response. The sound of the engine gets deeper and louder and you can hear the air rushing in. Clean and lubricate the filter yourself regularly to save money on replacement filters in the long run. Cons (with fixes): The included plastic NPT bleed fitting is cheap and doesn't sit securely. I recommend also ordering "Gates G36100-0804 Coupling" for a compatible brass version which is much higher quality and using Teflon tape for good measure. Be careful not to over-tighten as the threads will increase in size if they fit. The cheap coupler it comes with is why I can't give this one 5 stars, but the brass coupler is cheap and works better. It's easy to use the wrong nuts and bolts on the wrong pitch, and there are some errors in the instructions. That. Look for a 3-minute instructional video on your favorite video site. Illegal in California, move elsewhere.

Pros
  • BETTER TOWING: Improves acceleration and climbing performance when towing with improved throttle response.
Cons
  • Doubtful
