K&N 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake

Boost your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L V6 performance with the K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake. Gain up to 17.4 HP, improved throttle response, and a reusable air filter. No ECU tune required!

Transform your 3.5L V6 Toyota Tacoma’s driving dynamics with the K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake System (Part # 70-9039). Engineered to replace the restrictive stock airbox and intake tract, this performance system unlocks hidden power by delivering a smoother, denser volume of cool air directly into your engine.

At the heart of the system is a precision mandrel-bent American 6063 aluminum intake tube that increases airflow by up to 40% over original factory equipment. Paired with K&N’s signature semi-enclosed NextGen heat-shielding airbox and an oversized, washable High-Flow Cotton Air Filter, this intake isolates incoming air from high underhood temperatures. Dyno-tested to add up to 17.4 horsepower and 17.8 lb-ft of torque without requiring custom tuning or ECU modifications, it provides an instant upgrade in acceleration, engine sound, and overall efficiency.

Best Uses

1. Daily Driving & Commuting: Enhances throttle response and overall fuel/air efficiency during routine street driving.
2. Towing & Hauling: Provides additional low-to-mid range torque, making it easier to pull trailers, boats, or heavy beds up steep inclines.
3. Off-Roading & Overlanding: Delivers reliable power when navigating trails, climbing grades, and driving under high-engine-load conditions.
4. Highway Passing Power: Improves acceleration for effortless highway merging and overtaking.

Features

1. American 6063 Aluminum Construction: Mandrel-bent rigid aluminum tube maximizes airflow pathways and resists underhood heat better than standard plastic alternatives.
2. Semi-Enclosed NextGen Airbox: Precision-designed heat shield isolates the air filter from hot engine air while utilizing fresh air inlet channels.
3. High-Flow Oiled Cotton Air Filter: Features 4-layer pleated cotton gauze media designed to capture dirt while delivering maximum airflow.
4. Direct Bolt-On Installation: Engineered for direct factory mounting using basic hand tools—installs in under 60 minutes with no cutting or drilling required.
5. No Tune Required: Calibrated to work seamlessly with factory sensors and stock ECU parameters right out of the box.

Benefits

1. Dyno-Proven Horsepower & Torque Gains: Adds up to 17.4 HP and 17.8 lb-ft of torque for noticeable seat-of-the-pants performance improvements.
2. Sharper Throttle Response: Reduces intake lag and delivers immediate engine power when stepping on the gas.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings: The washable, reusable air filter goes up to 100,000 miles before servicing under normal highway driving conditions, eliminating continuous disposable filter replacements.
4. Aggressive Engine Sound: Enhances the vehicle's acoustic profile with a satisfying engine intake roar under hard acceleration, while remaining quiet at cruising speeds.
