Cold Air Intake for Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023) 3.5L V6 Turbo Engine

Tacoma (3.5L V6) Thermal-Regulated Air Induction & Advanced Engine Response

Enhance the power delivery of your Tacoma with an induction system specifically engineered to overcome the limitations of the factory 3.5L V6 setup. By replacing the restrictive stock air box with a high-flow pathway and a specialized insulated thermal barrier, your engine gains the ability to inhale a significantly larger volume of oxygen-rich air. This results in a more energetic and efficient combustion cycle, providing you with a vehicle that feels lighter and more capable during highway merging, steep climbs, or navigating off-road terrain.

This upgrade focuses on maximizing consistency and thermal efficiency. By utilizing an aluminum heatshield lined with a reflective insulation mat, the system aggressively rejects engine bay heat soak, ensuring that only dense, cool air enters the intake manifold. This thermal management provides a measurable improvement in horsepower and eliminates the sluggishness often felt in high-temperature conditions. Beyond the performance metrics, the system sharpens throttle sensitivity for instantaneous feedback and adds a deep, purposeful tone to your Tacoma engine profile.

Performance Benefits

• Maximum Thermal Rejection: The reflective insulation mat works in tandem with the aluminum shield to drastically lower intake temperatures for sustained power output.

• Optimized Power Gains: Frees the engine from airflow restrictions, unlocking higher horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range.

• Instant Throttle Feedback: Eliminates intake lag by providing a more direct and smooth air path, ensuring the engine reacts the moment you provide input.

• Consistent All-Weather Output: Ensures that your vehicle maintains peak performance even under heavy load or during intense summer heat.

• Sustainable Filtration: Features a high-flow air filter designed to be cleaned and reused, providing long-term value and engine protection.
