Part #: 57-9012
Overview
The K&N Performance Air Intake Kit is designed to enhance the airflow to your Toyota Tacoma’s engine, supporting improved engine response and efficiency. Ideal for owners of 1995 to 1999 Tacoma models equipped with 2.4L or 2.7L inline-4 engines, this intake system helps optimize your vehicle’s breathing capabilities while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance.
By increasing the volume of air delivered to the engine, this kit supports better throttle response and overall engine performance. Its washable and reusable High-Flow Air Filter with oiled cotton media offers long service intervals, reducing maintenance frequency without compromising filtration quality.
Key Features
This performance air intake kit includes several features engineered for durability and functionality:
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE) rotationally-molded intake tube designed to maximize airflow volume.
- Washable, reusable High-Flow Air Filter with oiled cotton filter media for effective filtration and extended service life.
- Oversized, conical filter design allowing up to 100,000 miles between filter cleanings under normal highway conditions.
- Custom heat shield to protect intake air from engine bay heat, helping maintain cooler air intake temperatures.
- Typically installs in less than 90 minutes with basic hand tools, providing a straightforward upgrade process.
Construction & Design
The intake tube is crafted from durable HDPE using rotational molding, which ensures a smooth interior surface to reduce airflow turbulence and improve efficiency. The custom heat shield is engineered to isolate the intake air from engine heat, helping to maintain denser, cooler air for combustion.
Installation & Fitment
This kit is designed for direct fitment on 1995–1999 Toyota Tacoma models with 2.4L or 2.7L inline-4 engines. Installation is straightforward and typically completed within 90 minutes using common tools, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
