By So if you’ve got yourself a Toyota Tacoma with the 3.5-liter V6, congratulations, because you’re probably loving that truck. However, you might be finding that it doesn’t make quite as much power as you’d like. An aftermarket cold air intake system is one of the best ways to increase airflow into the combustion chamber. With the easy installation of a performance air intake kit, your truck will see a fuel economy and horsepower gain as well as better throttle response.
Volant performance makes a great addition to your truck with one of the best cold air intake kits for the 2016+ V6 Tacoma. One of the most unique things about Volant’s product line is that they allow you to choose from three different filter types depending on your power needs and driving conditions. The part we’re talking about here is Volant’s performance cold air intake with their unique PowerCore off-road ready dry air filter. It offers high-quality particulate filtration and high flow to make sure that your truck gets all the clean, cool air it needs. Volant’s other filter options are the DryTech cotton filter, which offers a low-maintenance solution at a slight power disadvantage, and the MaxFlow, which is an oiled filter that gives you maximum power but requires a bit more maintenance.
Volant’s intake kit uses a sealed airbox that receives air from the factory intake scoop (or Volant’s aftermarket option, should you choose to replace your OEM scoop). It then sends air through a venturi filter in the intake tube that smooths the flow of air going into the MAF, making sure that you’re making consistent and reliable power. The airbox has a clear window over the filter, allowing you to either sit and admire it during alone time in the garage or easily see when your filter needs cleaning or replacement. All of Volant’s included parts are simple to install. Anyone with a screwdriver and a few sockets can easily remove the stock intake system from the engine bay and fit the Volant one in under 90 minutes, whether in a fully prepped workspace or in the visitor parking space outside your friend’s apartment.
Cold air intakes list a lot of benefits, and there are plenty of forum wars over whether or not they actually provide any of the advertised improvements. With the Volant Performance Air Intake kit alone, we expect you’ll make roughly 5-10 extra horsepower, and see 2-4 better MPG on the highway. However, that’s not our favorite improvement: the best part about any cold air intake is sweet, sweet engine sound. That quiet wooshing sound from the stock intake is gone, replaced with an angry growl as your 2GR V6 sucks in cooler air.Even by themselves, performance intakes are a worthwhile upgrade for engine performance.
