Worthwhile Upgrade
This is a very high quality intake for the Toyota 4Runner. It came with not only all parts needed, but extra in case spares are needed (or likely for different variants of the engine or applications). For our application, I opted to go the extra mile to connect a custom ram air ducting into the airbox (going through the front passenger wheel well) and boy, is the improvement significant! Before the engine would really struggle after downshifting (putting the engine in mid range between the 4 to 6K RPM range). Now - it picks up immediately and pulls without hesitation. This was installed for a friend's 4Runner that was looking for more, and they are very pleased (as we just installed this last night). I'm looking forward to them continuing to drive on it with this new intake (and continuing to report back on improvements noticed). Ps. The only thing I wish was it to be a little louder. It is an improvement with the induction noise, but it's not as loud as I'd hope. Then again, this is for the best as the air cone is placed inside an airbox to prevent heat soak - so it's a given it will be quieter than it could be. That said, I'd take HP over noise any day and would definitely recommend this upgrade to any enthusiast looking for gains on their Yota. This is just something to share so future buyers will have more realistic expectations.
