K&N offers the K&N 71-9039 Blackhawk Induction air intake system for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The intake system is designed to improve horsepower, throttle response, and engine sound. Estimated horsepower gain is 15.57 at 5446 rpm.
The cold air intake system is designed to replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The low restrictive air intake permits the engine to grab a larger amount of air than the stock air intake permitted. The tube is black powder-coated and includes a welded, engraved K&N plate for a clean, high performance appearance. It also features a heat shield that blocks hot engine air from entering the intake assuring that cool air gets into the engine. The air intake system can be installed in about 90 minutes using common household hand tools. It is designed and engineered to allow you to use the existing factory mounting points.
