2005 4runner Preformance Mods

I assume you run the oiled K&N??? do you clean your MAF very often? the oil from the filter gets sucked into the intake tract and coats the MAF's very sensitive wires. driving with a dirty MAF will decrease efficiency and negate what little to any gain from the CAI.

have a look at the dyno charts from the +8 and +14 hp claims exhaust, tuning, and CAI companies show. a lot of the time the power gained is very high in the rpm range and therefore will not be used on a daily basis to help the vehicle up to speed.

just my $.02

Noted and will do, I am just tired of armchair experts! Especially those who believe that throwing age in your face deserves your respect. Respect is not a right, it is earned, had you not done that I would not have responded the way I did. :hello:

Have fun with your runner and I will with mine :hatsoff:

is the TRD catback exhaust straight through? Its on ebay for 500, even though it has been discontinued

I would stay away from the TRD supercharger and catback, they do not have the best reviews/results. I did a TON of research and finally ended up with my setup after about 3 months.

I completely agree with everything you said, that is why I ended up finally choosing the Gibson, since it works in the 2000-4000 RPM range.

You think you know my age? That's funny, I was done with this with my post above, but if you want to continue this pissing match, switch over to PM rather than continue to bloat this thread with irrelevant posts.
 
i didnt & dont want a pissing match, period! what the hell is ur problem! does it really give u pleasure to argue over such trivial stupid crap with a 57 year old half crippled man on disability? personally, i never want to talk to u again.

No, it doesn't and I am sorry to hear that, but it doesn't change the fact that I already told you I was done with this and I still standby what I have said.
 
Wow, wtf happened in here? Allow me to put in my two cents and hopefully that'll help you out. Now it depends on what are you going to use your vehicle for. You just want a tad more power like helping you merge on the freeway or the most performance for racing situations. There are a few things that you can do to improve performance for cheap. A muffler by itself will do nothing except make more noise. If your lucky you'll pick up maybe 2-3 PEAK hp. With exhaust you'll need to improve on how it scavenges the exhaust gases. I would go with headers and a better designed Y or X pipe that has improved flow over our factory installed junk. Modifying the exhaust can also change its powerband delivery, meaning it'll change where you'll see the most gains either more low to mid range or mid to high end performance. If you do want to only go with a catback or a weld in muffler go for a straight through muffler if you want to go in terms of performance. Sound wise your on your own as they each sound different and can have drone. For a CAI there is no better than a 1st gen TRD or a AFE intake. When looking at a intake (even factory) its important to get the air intake air temps closest to ambient air temp as soon as possible. Lastly tuning is where I would make a real recommendation here. If outta everything you had to pick one, pick tuning. You have several depending on how far you wanna go. URD's maf cal changes the fuel trims based on maf readings and changes the air/fuel ratio accordingly to make the most performance. That the cheapest option that makes a difference. The next level is something that would handle more like fuel and spark control like the map2 or map3. Then there's the most expensive option which is a full standalone that controls entire engine functions. That route is the most expensive and time consuming however plus if you cannot tuning it yourself you'll have to find a GOOD shop to tuning it. If you do wanna have someone tune it for you ask what unit they are experienced tuning in. Tuning will also bring the most outta other installed mods. There are more options like forced induction and building the engine, but again, it depends on how far your wanting to go. Also remember some general maintenance can restore lost power as well.
 
I have a K&N CAI and flowmaster exhaust sounds good gets alittle better mileage and better throttle response I think the magnaflow sounds good on a V6 I had a 18in long magnaflow on my 2010 Trail along with a TRD CAI it also sounded pretty good to.
 
thanks hamilton and skyline.

I live in vail, colorado, which is notorius for getting quite cold during the winter and was wondering if having an oiled vs. dry filter would change anything. Which do you prefer?

I decided on a Gibson Performance catback exhaust simply because of the price, and the performance between 2000-4000 RPMs.

I've narrowed my choices for CAIs down to the TRD, K&N 63, or the aFe 2 series, but I'm stuck past that. Again what do you folks recommend with the climate in vail? It can get dusty here to if that affects anything.
 
Filter types won't change anything in colder climate. For CAI, 1st gen TRD or AFE stage 2. They are the same thing except the AFE has a scoop at the bottom. If you want a K&N I have one for sale.
 
sorry lol, it had to happen. but TBS are generally regarded as a complete hoax. i wouldn't do it. you can CLEAN your TB and probably notice a bigger diff lol
