An air intake is a car part that brings air into the vehicle's internal combustion engine and can improve the vehicle's power and efficiency. TRD, a part of the Toyota automobile company, makes high-performance aftermarket components for Toyota vehicles, such as performance air intakes. Learn about the TRD performance air intake and whether it will fit on your Toyota vehicle. - The TRD performance air intake replaces the fresh air inlet duct as well as the upper portion of the OE air box. It also replaces the air filter and the inlet hose assembly. The intake flow accelerator (IFA) accelerates the flow of air into your Toyota's system.
- The TRD performance air intake only fits on certain Toyota vehicles. It will fit Toyota Sequoias from model years 2008 or 2009, as well as Toyota Tundras for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. No other vehicles from Toyota or any other car brand can use this intake.
- The Dyno horsepower testing system has shown improved results in both horsepower and torque when tested on the rear wheels, according to Tundra Headquarters. The horsepower on the 5.7-liter V-8 Toyota Tundra increased by 8 at 5,600 rpm with the TRD intake installed, and the torque increased by 7.5 foot-lbs. of torque at 5,600 rpm. On the 4.7-liter V-8 the torque increased by 4.5 foot-lbs. of torque at 5,100 rpm.
- As of 2011, the TRD performance air Intake has a retail price of $475, which includes a Toyota-backed warranty. Toyota recommends having the installation performed by a professional. The TRD Performance Air Intake is street legal in all 50 U.S. states for its emissions levels.
