Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD – 4.0L V6 Power & Response

This performance intake system is engineered to maximize your Tacoma's breathing potential. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with a high-velocity induction path and protective heat shield, this kit allows the 4.0L V6 engine to draw in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and more fluid acceleration, perfectly complementing the rugged capability and off-road performance of the TRD chassis.

Made specifically for the 4.0L V6 platform, this upgrade unlocks hidden efficiency while maintaining the dependable durability of your truck. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your Tacoma a deeper, more aggressive induction note under load, while the striking red filter and heat shield design ensure the engine bay looks clean and purpose-built for adventure.
