hey [MENTION=62757]chudiddy[/MENTION] are you going with the SSO stage 2 side protection?New pics?
Chudiddy- Inferno TRD PRO Build
- Thread starter chudiddy
- Start date
Just a little update: Picked up my second TRD PRO in Cavalry Blue. Won't go as extensive on this one but man what a gorgeous color. Inferno is still my favorite color of all time.
Nothing much with Inferno other than I have to get the rails powder coated. I am also waiting for my opportunity to order the supercharger. Hopefully that happens soon. Otherwise, enjoy the pics. Thanks for following along.
Just had to do it!! LMAO!!
Are you looking at the Magnuson or something else for the SC?
Sorry for lack of updates everyone. Been quite busy.
I did end up installing the Magnuson Supercharger kit last July right at just under 25000 miles. Fast forward to today and I only have 27222 miles on it. I just don't drive my 4Runner that much these days ever since I got my Tesla Model X. It just sits in the garage.
I don't plan on doing much more to it. In fact I may list it for sale very soon. Please DO NOT ask if I will part the vehicle out, I will not respond.
I have the TRD Cold Air Intake installed as well. I just don't have a recent pic of it. Supercharger runs absolutely perfect. I did not install the kit expecting to make a huge difference. My truck is quite heavy with all the mods and it def made a difference in low end torque. I am overall pleased with the kit and the installation and instructions were the best I've ever seen. Couldn't be anymore straight forward. Kudos to Magnuson for that!!

CAI w Magnuson
Please comment. Magnuson says that their SC requires stock intake and exhaust. To that extent, I pulled out my K&N and Aftermarket exhaust and went back to stock. Yes I have the SC. Have you dyno’d with and without these items with the supercharger or can you comment on performance with/without the aftermarket air and exhaust with the SC?
Thanks in advance

Well I've had the aftermarket exhaust on for a few years now so I can't comment on what difference in performance it makes before and after. I never dyno'd the truck as I really wasn't interested in the numbers. The stock intake IMO was restrictive so I can say that my butt dyno felt a slight difference after the TRD intake was installed. It def brings out the whine in the supercharger.

Before and after
Thanks for your thoughts. Was just curious due to the Magnuson warranty and if there was a noticeable performance difference. I will probably put back on my K&N after a few more thousand miles. But, will likely stay with the stock exhaust. While I like more whine, I don’t need the growl from the aftermarket exhaust! :bravo:
