aFe MagnumFORCE Intake Stage-2 Si Fully Sealed Housing
Fitment: 2012-2013 Toyota Tacoma V6 4.0L
Part #: 51-82342
Overview
The aFe MagnumFORCE Intake Stage-2 Si features a fully sealed housing designed to replace the restrictive stock air box on 2012-2013 Toyota Tacoma V6 4.0L models. This intake system is engineered for enthusiasts seeking improved engine efficiency and enhanced performance through better airflow management. Its sealed, molded plastic or aluminum cover offers a factory-style appearance while significantly reducing intake noise compared to open intake systems.
By drawing cold air from outside the engine compartment, the intake supports cooler, denser air delivery to the engine, which can contribute to more efficient combustion. This system is ideal for Tacoma owners looking to upgrade their intake setup with a durable, well-engineered solution that balances performance gains with refined sound characteristics.
Key Features
The aFe MagnumFORCE Intake Stage-2 Si includes several design elements focused on durability and airflow optimization:
- Fully sealed housing constructed from cross-linked polypropylene rotomolded plastic for strength and consistent cold air supply
- Precision molded plastic air box replaces the stock unit to reduce restrictions and improve airflow
- Built-in ram scoop actively forces cold, outside air into the filter for enhanced engine breathing
- Pro Dry S media filter designed for efficient filtration and easy maintenance
- Factory-style sealed cover reduces intake noise compared to open intake designs
- Engineered air box openings strategically positioned to pull in cold air from outside the engine bay
Construction & Design
The intake system’s rotomolded plastic air box is designed to withstand heat and environmental factors while maintaining structural integrity. The sealed housing ensures a consistent supply of cold air, minimizing heat soak and helping maintain optimal intake temperatures. The combination of molded plastic and aluminum components provides a balance of durability and lightweight construction.
Installation & Fitment
This intake is designed specifically for 2012-2013 Toyota Tacoma V6 4.0L engines. Installation is straightforward, replacing the factory air box with minimal modifications required. Fitment should be verified against the part number and vehicle specifications to ensure compatibility.
