PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The 3rd Gen Tacoma 3.5L V6 is dependable, but the factory intake leaves both airflow and sound on the table. SXTH Element designed the CPLT Intake specifically for this truck, using a large dry-flow filter, molded airbox, and intake tube to give your Tacoma a more direct intake path without requiring a tune.

On SXTH's Dynojet comparison, the CPLT Intake recorded 13.62 more peak wheel horsepower and 6.16 lb-ft more peak wheel torque than the OEM intake. It is a practical upgrade for a Tacoma that sees daily commuting during the week and dirt roads, trails, towing, or weekend trips when you are not using it as a toy.

The other difference you will notice is sound. The CPLT gives the 3.5L V6 a more audible intake note under throttle, while the integrated Helmholtz resonator is designed to reduce the harsh resonance that can make some aftermarket intakes annoying on longer drives.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

This is a complete intake system, not just a replacement filter. It adds a louder intake sound when you get into the throttle, but it is designed to keep normal driving comfortable rather than filling the cab with constant drone.

The included filter is dry, so there is no oiling step after cleaning. The magnetic airbox lid makes filter checks and service straightforward without taking apart the entire intake. If you regularly drive your Toyota truck in dust, check the filter more often.

Dyno results reflect SXTH's test vehicle and conditions. Actual gains can vary with fuel, weather, elevation, vehicle condition, and other modifications.
