URD's True Cold Air Intake System for the 2005+ V6 Tacoma Trucks
URD tested many designs to ensure you are installing a superior True Cold Air Intake (TCAI). There are many intake systems on the market called "Cold Air Intakes," but many are nothing of the sort. Our testing demonstrates that air drawn from inside the engine compartment is not as cold as air from outside the engine bay. It is that simple.
URD found that inducting air from the grill area is about 30 degrees cooler than inducting air anywhere from under the hood. When vehicle speed increases dynamic air pressure increases thus forcing more air into the engine.
Another TCAI placement advantage is in cab noise reduction. Make no mistake about it, the acoustics of this intake system at maximum RPM and wide-open throttle are very impressive, but the placement of the intake lessens noise inside the vehicle. It will however get the attention of those you are passing.
Note that simply placing a filter in front of the truck does not make a good CAI. There are a number of subtle URD design attributes that are integrated into the TCAI to ensure a proper MAF Sensor reading.
URD's TCAI uses the highest quality dry media air filter available. We chose the high end Amsoil/Injen nano fiber intake filter with an internal forcing cone. This provides the best filtration available so there are no worries about the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil from other filter types.
URD's TCAI Systems are powder coated with a high quality black wrinkle finish and ship with all the required hardware and a very detailed, easy to follow installation manual. Installation will require removing a small section of sheet metal between the passenger headlight and radiator. This is easily done using an included template.
To extract the maximum benefit from the URD TCAI we recommend installation of our MAF Sensor Calibration Unit. This unit will electronically optimize fuel mixture for the greatest performance benefit. When you purchase the URD MAF Sensor Calibrator with the URD TCAI a special map will be preloaded into the Calibrator optimized for an otherwise stock vehicle. The Calibrator is end user tunable to compensate for other performance modifications you may have or may install in the future.
Legal in California Only for Racing Vehicles Which May Never be Used on a Highway.
Note: Only black powdercoat is available

HydroShield Pre-Filters are available for the URD TCAI. Click here to order.

If you intend to use the URD TCAI with an aftermarket grill that completely un-shrouds the filter, you may want to consider using a shield to give the filter similar protection that the stock grill gives it. Click here to order
