Tuner and/or CAI on 15 limited

[Complete4runner]

I just bought my 3rd 4Runner (2015 Limited) and I have never done any upgrades considering my wife drives it most of the time but would a CAI or tuner help out at all with little performance. I understand the whole, "they only do so much" but I was just looking for little things.

Welcome to the forum. Head over to the 5th gen section and do a search there. There's searching instructions in the stickies which generate better results. There will be plenty to read there to help you decide.

Welcome to T4R, I'll move this to the 5th Gen section for you.
You can find all kinds of answers if you search some.

I thought new users needed a 15+ post count before starting a new thread now??

CAI and cat back offer minimum gains on all trim levels from 2010-now. The general consensus is that it's really not worth it, and this has been discussed many times. Do a search and you will find some older threads on the topic.

I think OP may have signed up prior to the change.

Agreed. I have a TRD CAI and Magnaflow catback exhaust in my 2015 TEP. Gas mileage is unchanged, and there's no noticable increase in performance, but it does sound/look good!

I've got an Airaid/flowmaster setup. Haha, it totally SOUNDS faster!

Aftermarket CAI for the most part is just for sound, you're not going to get too much more performance over the factory CAI.

There isn't any real aftermarket tuner set-up for Toyota's unless you go full stand-alone because no one has really "Cracked" a Toyota ECU effectively. Most everything you see just plug inline and spoof signals.

Glad to see you've ascertained that after only 4 posts.
