Performance Air Intake For Toyota 4Runner/Tacoma (1995-1998) with 3.4L V6 Engine Black

Boost your third-generation 4Runner or first-generation Tacoma's performance with this complete cold air intake—engineered for the legendary 5VZ-FE V6 that owners have driven past 300,000 miles with proper maintenance.

More Power from Toyota's Legendary 3.4L V6

The 1996-1998 4Runner and 1995-1998 Tacoma marked a turning point for Toyota's truck lineup—the all-new 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6 replaced the underpowered 3VZ-E, delivering 183 horsepower in the 4Runner and 190 hp in the Tacoma with 217-220 lb-ft of torque. Owners routinely report 200,000-300,000+ miles on the original engine. The DOHC design with four valves per cylinder and "flat torque curve" makes it ideal for low-rpm grunt—perfect for towing, off-roading, and daily driving.

This cold air intake addresses the factory airbox's restriction by replacing your stock air filter box and intake tube with aluminum piping and a high-flow washable filter. The result is up to 10% gains in horsepower and torque—measurable improvements in throttle response and mid-range pulling power that complement the 5VZ-FE's already strong low-end character. The filter is washable and reusable, and you'll get that deeper V6 tone that adds engagement. Installation takes under an hour with basic hand tools.
