S&B Intake - 5th Gen via Burtman

Did you read the 19 page PDF with the testing? see below. S&B WILL NOT make an intake unless they see gains with this vigorous testing. I've been begging them for years to make this, and had to wait until it was the 4Runners turn in the queue. They told me they wouldn't make it unless the results proved itself and had big gains over the factory intake. I had no guarantees, but it did prove itself. I really encourage everyone to read this in detail. This cost a small fortune to do.

Also, this intake is the lowest price cold air intake with a new high flow airbox that can't be touched currently.

Yep, I read the whole thing. I'm not hating on the product, no need to be defensive, I just have seen dyno numbers for other intakes would have liked to see testing like that. AFE and K&N also claim 40% or above air flow, like I said that is expected.

The simple answer is that the horsepower and torque gains will depend on your vehicle and your particular driving conditions. Improving the airflow to your engine has been shown to increase horsepower. With that being said, S&B doesn't publish horsepower numbers because of the inaccurate and outlandish claims made by many of their competitors. Instead, they test to the ISO 5011 Filtration Standard and publish the airflow, efficiency, and capacity data on the product pages found on their website. This is the internationally accepted standard for testing filters and intake systems, so they can hold their competition accountable if they make an incorrect claim.

Here is link to the detailed test results vs the toyota stock intake system:

I haven't talked to any customers that have had the their 4runner on a dyno, but did have this kit on a 2015 Taco with the 4.0 and noticed good improvements in throttle response, low end torque, and top end power.

If you have any questions, call or text 717-319-2100 or to order over phone.

Thanks, Jason. I understand what you are saying about variances in each environment, but even with contextual differences, a dyno before and after an intake installation would clearly validate whether there is any change in performance. Whether you dyno in Colorado at 2k ft elevation, 25 degrees F and 10% humidity or in Miami at sea level on a 110F day and 90% humidity, once you establish a baseline for stock, you can gauge the results of a performance part.

This is just common understanding with intakes or any performance mod, you know? Not trying to come down on you specifically but Toyota has such strict rules around durability and quality that I want a reasonable range of what to expect for performance from an aftermarket part before I swap out something OEM.

There was only one guy who dynoed before/after the TRD intake and I think it was like +8 whp over stock and +19 lb ft of torque. That is a pretty sizable chunk but unfortunately I couldn't find any other dyno results.

I could be open for an intake + exhaust combo, but again, want to see some proof before spending hundreds of dollars and strapping anything to the powertrain of my 4R.

Me? I'm definitely not defensive. I'm just trying to help and explain. I also submitted a case with S&B yesterday and what I wrote was what they explained to me above in my other reply. If I made this intake would I have a dyno machine in my shop? yea probably. I like to see dynos too. THe reality is it will probably be years until there is one since S&B isn't going to do it, and I don't have a local customer with this intake. BUT if you want to dyno it, I'll sell you an intake for my cost to help offset your cost for a dyno. I'm here to help, and I'm never in a bad mood.
 
Does anyone have this intake with a Borla cat back? I think I want something to pair with my Borla, just need to figure out which one. My gut tells me just get the TRD Pro so the dealer doesn't give me any warranty hell in case something happens...but I don't think this should affect any warranties.

I've only sold two Borla's for the 5th gen, and about 100 Gibson for the 5th gen. have you heard the Gibson? I have some youtube videos up, and it sounds great. No drone and DEEP sound. I have a few guys with both setups and it's a great smooth sound with both. And there is NO ISSUE with warranty on this intake, no need to worry.

There is also a polished tip version and a single rear exit version.

S & B Intake..

Hey Y'all:

Put on the S&B intake on my 2018 4runner, and what a difference. The airbox is easily twice the size of the factory airbox. I have gained a little bit of mpg (about 0.5 mpg in the city, 0.9 mpg on highway driving). But the difference is the effortless of the acceleration. The engine runs smoothly and accelerates cleanly and doesn't feel clogged up or choke on hills. When I drive into the mountains is where this is most noticeable. I love it and it is worth the hour of installation. Thanks Jason!!!

That's a nice bump in mileage! With gas prices, anything that helps is a plus.

What's up everybody. Got my S&B in on Wednesday and drive around for a day and a half. Can't tell yet on mpg, but there is definitely improvement in the throttle response that I'm pretty excited about. Also sounds really good with my Borla Touring catback!

I'm loving my AFE intake combined with the Borla Touring, definitely makes a huge difference
 
Only problem is the Afe is $150 more. I went with the S&B on my 5th gen and am getting 1 more mpg which I'm happy about!, but I'm upset S&B doesn't have an intake for my 4th gen. Jason B work some magic please?

Yes why no 4th gen? Its like a neglected generation in so many ways.

Glad you like it. It's the best one for the price. And I'm working on the 4th gen...

I'm actually in talks with S&B about this right now for the 4th gen. Not sure yet, but will try. With the DT headers and Y pipe I sell, the V8 4th gen truck explodes with more air and the intake works even better. Volant is the other option I do have and have sold a decent amount, but S&B is my fav. They test every intake for cfm flow with a detailed 20 page report. If it doesn't pass with a good improvement, they won't even make it. The 5th gen intake does very very well.
