Buying online Airaid 510-179 Intake System 2005 Tacoma Airaid IntakeBy S. SchererI am very picky about intakes. Any vibration or whistling and I will take it back. This intake is great for many reasons. First it is silent. There was no change in cabin noise before and after installation. When you open the hood and rev the engine, you can hear some new suction that wasn’t there before. My Tacoma was the demo for Airaid so I got to see the R&D as it went along as well as the manufacturing process out here in Arizona. I was very impressed with the whole experience as well as the free intake for my time. Second, this intake doesn’t require any weird modifications. Nothing is damaged and it works just as the stock intake does. It sucks its air from the sealed compartment that runs down towards the front passenger side wheel just as the stock intake does to protect from engine damage. It also uses the original air box to prevent noise. Airaid would impress you with what they consider in the R&D phase. Nothing is ignored.Third, the increased horsepower and torque are nice. Horsepower increases by 15 and torque increases by 12 pounds. Passing someone uphill was effortless before, but the new intake might make you a showoff. See the dyno results on Airaid’s website (http://www.airaid.com/510-179_toyota.asp). The last thing I should mention is gas mileage. Many talk about improving gas mileage with the purchase of an intake. My model is the V6 4-door 2WD pre-runner sport. It is big and I drive it in 118 degrees. I drive 30 miles to ASU during the week in a serious hurry most of the time. The gas light turns on at about 370 miles (91 octane) as I race back and forth. You can be the judge of that. I don’t know anyone else with a ’05 yet to compare results to. In conclusion, my old, super conservative parents (and girlfriend) were extremely upset when they found out I installed the intake. I mean really upset. After the long argument, they drove the truck and inspected it. The conclusion - my mother wants one for her Sienna and father wants one for his Highlander.See all 1 customer reviews... » More Information about Airaid 510-179 Intake System.Thursday, June 30, 2011
