K&N 2016 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L Performance Intake Kit

When you're looking to get more out of your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma's 3.5L engine, especially if you're doing more than just daily driving, a performance air intake is a smart move. This K&N Blackhawk Induction system is built to help your engine breathe easier, which can lead to a noticeable improvement in how it performs. It's designed to replace your restrictive factory air box with a smoother, less restricted path for air to enter the engine.

What sets this K&N kit apart is its focus on performance and protection without the hassle of oil. The DRYFLOW synthetic filter media is layered to capture dirt and debris effectively, keeping your engine safe, but it doesn't require oiling. This means you won't have to worry about over-oiling, which can sometimes cause issues with sensors, and maintenance is simpler. The intake tube is made from black powder-coated aluminum, giving it a solid look and feel, and it includes a steel heat shield. This shield is important because it helps block hot air from the engine bay from getting into the intake, ensuring your engine gets cooler, denser air, which is better for power.

Installation is typically straightforward and can often be completed in under 90 minutes, making it a manageable project for many DIYers. This system is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty, giving you confidence in its long-term durability. Keep in mind that this intake is not street legal in California due to emissions regulations, so it cannot be shipped to CA addresses.
