TRD Intake full install and review - 2010-2022 Toyota 4Runner 

I love when stuff like that happens lol. Sometimes you get lucky.

I'll take whichever one you don't want 😢

Yeah, I'm not to sure why Toyota claims this doesn't fit when it clearly works fine.

Awesome! Great to hear

@@yotaxpedition I have a follow on Q. I installed the CAI per your video and then had no cold air via my aircon the following day. I’m not sure if they both correlate to each other but wanted to check in with if you experienced the same? I’ve got my FJ scheduled for a Freon recharge on Monday.

@@davesantimaw5413 Your air conditioning system and your intake are not related at all. Must be something else causing the issue. Is the AC compressor kicking on?

@@yotaxpeditionYes it is. I’m thinking it’s low on Freon

Thanks! Hoping to upload installs weekly

Hope we made it easy for you to do the installation.

We can only hope! 🙏

@@yotaxpedition Just bought a TRD last Friday, was super hard to find. Ill be sure to keep up with your channel!

@@AC-jm6yf Awesome! Hopefully, we can help you along the way. We hope to post at least once a week.

Awesome! Will definitely sound good with the exhaust.

How do you like that combo? Thinking of doing the same

Thanks Mark!

Thanks! Hope it helped.

Yup! That's why we also installed a brand new snorkel on it as well. There's a video on it if you wanna check it out!

Thank you!

We're doing a giveaway on one soon as well! Keep an eye on our site or instagram

If your intake does not have the TRD logo, then it is the same as the standard air box on the lower trims.

You'll get better air flow as well. The new filter flows better and the intake tube also doesn't have a baffle on it, just straight pipe into the intake.

We didn’t run into an issue with getting the lid on and off. We’ll look into it though.

The filter should be squished between the top and bottom of the air box. Seeing the edge of the filter is normal.

@@yotaxpedition Awesome thanks

Surprised Toyota installed it for you.

How did you get it so discounted?

@@yotaxpeditionIt's a Toyota TRD part; it's the only piece my local Yota dealer will install. Which sucks cuz there's no one in South Florida that touches rigs and there's so much i want to buy...

Between the top and lower portion of the airbox you can see a very little bit of red. The 2 sections of the airbox are squeezing the filter edge to create a seal.

@@yotaxpedition did you noticed any mpg increase or decrease? Mine lowered. Any ideas on what I can check?

Not necessary but a tune up never hurts.

This was installed on a 2022, should be the same process.

Where did you order the kit? I would contact them and see if you can get a replacement.

@@yotaxpedition bought it slightly used.

The main difference is is the intake noise and aesthetics. Cant say that you can feel a major performance difference with the butt dyno.

I'm sure it would work, worst case just trim the intake tube a little shorter.

Yes it does!

Yes. You probably don't have to but since you're unplugging the MAF sensor, better safe than sorry. Takes 10 seconds to loosen the terminal.

The link to our website for the intake is in the video description.

Really cant answer that unless we had a dyno to see the difference.

Toyota claims it doesn't fit but that's why we made this video. Fits perfectly fine with zero issues.

@@yotaxpedition Spoke to a dealer, said in states that require an emissions test during yearly inspections could possibly fail. Anyone having that issue?

We haven't had any issues with that. I'm not really sure how it would affect emissions to the point where it wouldn't pass. If you have no check engine light on then it should pass. And we've had ours installed for almost a year with zero issues.

No tune is required and it is an OEM Toyota part so there should be no problems with the warranty.

Yes it will!

Yes sir!

Whatever you like. But all the extra nonsense on the OEM one is sound dampening so you don't hear the intake as much.

Better air flow and filter

Is there data that states how much hp and mph you would gain?@@yotaxpedition

No performance improvements

Yes it will fit any model with the 3.5 v6!

PTR43-00083

Yes, everything should be the same.

Thanks. Tried to get the package and told wasn't a match for my 2023 trd pro premium

Yes, ours is a 2022 and the 2023 is the same.

They claim it doesn't fit but it 100% fits. Before we did the install I talked to Toyota and they told me the same thing. That's why we tried it and made this video. To show it does work.

Most, if not all snorkels are manufactured to fit the OEM intake. But the TRD intake is pretty much the same design as the OEM one and should work. I've seen people do it before. I can't say the same for other intakes.

Technically no, they shouldn’t. But this will depend mostly on your specific Toyota dealer. If you want to be 100% sure, I’d go with the TRD.

So for reference, if you don’t buy the item from Toyota it will most definitely void your warranty, even if it’s a Toyota product it has to go through them. Any after market item that isn’t Toyota will void the warranty, I found out through my dealer when i got my 4runner

We didn't measure MPG's with and without. But if there is a difference, its not much.

A lot of people pay for sound and looks lol

@@yotaxpedition I know but convincing of that is next to impossible

Dynos out there also confirm minimal HP/Torque gains. 350 bucks and a self-install for a 5hp/19ft lbs on a $45k vehicle is worth it to me. Even if it only offsets my additional skid plate weight. What may be a waste to you isn't for an enthusiast. We all spend our money the way we'd like. That's why we work hard to earn it for ourselves.

​​@@SamuelBalsamaExactly! That works out to $70 per pony. Doesn't sound like a waste to me. I have the TRD intake on my limited 4x4 and I love it. I also have a cat back exhaust, pedal commander and an adaptive "race chip". I did each mod one at a time to see how much each changed the truck. Individually it wasn't much, like the intake. The biggest difference was adding the chip, which I did last. Really ties all the mods together and allows the engine to make better use of it's new lungs. I'd love to Dyno it for actual numbers, but it's definitely a different truck now. Feels sporty and powerful. Certainly not words I would have used to describe it when I first got it. Currently looking at the 76mm throttle body everyone says ALSO "does nothing and is a complete waste of money." Which I'm beginning to think translates to "would be kinda cool if I could afford one".

Yes, everything should be the same on the 2023 model.
