Performance Air Intake W/Heat Shield for Toyota Tacoma (2005-2020) with 2.7L L4 Engine Red

Optimize Your 2TR-FE: High-Flow Cold Air Intake for the 2005-2020 Toyota Tacoma

Who It’s For: Engineered for Toyota Tacoma owners running the 2TR-FE 2.7L powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and want more utility out of their four-cylinder workhorse.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the 2TR-FE is designed for silence and cost-efficiency, not performance. It utilizes a restrictive resonator box and heavy plastic accordion-style tubing that creates massive air turbulence, effectively choking the engine’s ability to breathe when you’re under load. This results in a noticeable delay in throttle response and a lack of torque when you’re trying to merge onto the highway or pull a light trailer, making the truck feel heavier than it actually is.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plumbing with a high-grade, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum tube. By providing a smooth, consistent internal diameter, we significantly reduce fluid friction and straighten the airflow path directly into the throttle body. The included heat shield isolates the high-flow cotton filter from engine bay heat soak, ensuring a denser, oxygen-rich air charge reaches the combustion chamber for a sharper throttle snap and a much-needed increase in low-end grunt.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Torque Delivery: By increasing air density and volume, we help the 2TR-FE produce up to 10% more horsepower and torque, which is vital for a truck that needs to overcome aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance.
• Induction Roar: Eliminating the factory baffles and resonators provides a deep, throaty growl under heavy acceleration, giving your Tacoma a presence that matches its rugged exterior.
• Built for the Long Haul: Featuring a washable, reusable high-flow filter and corrosion-resistant red T304 aluminum, this kit is designed to last the life of the truck, with filter maintenance only required every 50,000 miles.

The Performance Promise

This system is a direct bolt-on replacement for your factory airbox. Installation can be completed in under 60 minutes with basic hand tools. Pro Tip: We recommend disconnecting your battery terminal for a few minutes during installation; this allows the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and recalibrate for the increased airflow volume from your new intake system.
