Recommend two people

Make sure you have other clamps, the ones supplied are weak, when you tighten the screw it will break off. It's easiest to determine when two people do it.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost never

Great product for the price.

After a few months this item is holding up perfectly. Installed on a 2029 Tacoma TRD Sport, the installation was fairly easy for one person, about an hour's work. This produces a nice growl when you hit 3500+ rpm. As for gas mileage, keeping it in the 20-21mpg range seems to have helped. I recommend this one.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Nothing

Not worth it at the moment

I only have half the parts needed for my truck so I can't fit them. It is not clear from the description which parts are included and which must be purchased separately. The picture shows the intake pipe, but I didn't receive it with other parts and I can't find just the pipe anywhere. I'll update my review when I contact support and see what's going on.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some cons

Mostly a good selection of spares

The Bad: As other reviews point out the clips suck - they just don't fit so plan on using at least 2 standard clips. On the plus side, the sound is fantastic once you hit 4000rpm, but surprisingly there's no annoying hum at normal cruising speeds. There may be a slight increase in mileage, but don't count on it. Pickup is immediately better at idle in my opinion, and then noticeable again above 4k. Overall this would be a 6 star rating if it came with the correct clamps.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Requires socket

Value for the parts

I have used Specter air intakes a few times and knew they would meet my needs. Don't expect a huge performance boost if that's your main reason for getting one. But if you want something that's worth putting your foot down on, it costs money. Easy installation. Simple instructions. Much better economic benefit than paying $450 for something that works the same way. I'm no expert, but if you want more power, you need more than just fuel consumption. It's worth it. I've had a good throttle howlโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

After installation. on Ram Air Kit

First I want to say that it looks good after installation. Bad news. Disappointing installation. First, the rubber grommets are barely long enough to connect the air hose to either the air intake or the air box. If you deviate a little, it will not connect. A little more clearance is required for easier installation. Second, the clamps that come with it are a joke. They look good, but you may not be able to tighten them enough to ensure a secure fit. I ended up using my old clamps I had layingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Cheaper alternative to K&N

It was easy to install (2018 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Sport) - took about an hour or so. My only suggestion would be that the seller clearly defines the details through illustrations or pictures. to make it easier for the user. While you might work out what's what, at first I had no idea what a "MAF case" was or any of the others that made the list. I also used standard screws/washers instead of the ones supplied because it was easier and took longer. The included MAF sensor bolts require a small allenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
