S&B Cold Air Intake

emptypockets · 11-08-2006, 11:46 AM

Just had a chance to get the new S&B cold air intake installed a few nights ago. It went together very well and the directions were pretty much right on. Here are a few pics...

One thing I like about this filter is the closed box that the element sits in. In the end, these probably do a better job of filtering. The poly tube keeps the incoming air cooler too. If you keep your foot out of the throttle, it's no louder than stock, but floor it and man is this thing LOUD! I have noticed a quicker throttle response and my MPG has gone up about 10-15%. Not too bad for $200 shipped!

these closed intakes are so much better sounding and looking then the K&N and AEM brute force open cone with firewall.

Nice man. Id do that same route but I doubt they would work with an ARB snorkel

emptypockets · 11-08-2006, 01:15 PM

I think you're right about the snorkel think. The S&B has a low growl to it, which is better than the K&N whine. I hadn't heard a lot about S&B products, but I'm sold now!

Where is it pulling air from?

04 Rocko Taco · 11-08-2006, 02:28 PM

front or bottom of the box is vented/ported? I've seen similar close box style intakes on Camaro's.

emptypockets · 11-08-2006, 03:24 PM

It's hard to see, but on the bottom pic, you can kinda tell. It pulls air from two places: right behind the headlight and right in front of the air duct that comes from the fender. It's on the left side of the intake box.

Elton · 11-08-2006, 08:58 PM

I got mine from a guy on ebay called outlawoffroad. I see he's now selling them for $189 with free shipping...10 bucks cheaper than mine. Shipping was fast and he's a reputable seller. I love mine so far.

Prolly wont work with 96-98

Just a heads up, the seller's user name is actually "outlawoffroadcom".

dbikeman · 11-09-2006, 01:01 PM

It will only work on 99-02 4runners

emptypockets · 11-09-2006, 01:11 PM

Mine's an '02. Just can't beat this system for the price!

westy44runner · 11-09-2006, 01:32 PM

do they make these for 22RE's?

emptypockets · 11-10-2006, 05:15 AM

Not sure about that westy. Their official site is www.sbfilters.com
They seem to be getting more applications as time goes on.

brjason · 01-17-2007, 02:41 PM

I'm looking at one of these for my '92 4Runner.

Here's a link:
http://performance.thepartsbin.com/b...5&brandid=2763

Anyone bought from these guys before? Are they okay?

seanz0rz · 01-17-2007, 03:00 PM

so what about them wont fit the 98 and earlier 3rd gens?

99SR5 · 01-17-2007, 04:08 PM

what about when water and mud gets in the engine bay.... do they make it harder for your engine to suck in water?

91TPU · 01-17-2007, 04:39 PM

damn, wish i woulda run into this before i bought the k&n...not that i dont like mine, just wish that it had a box around it that i didnt have to build...

QSVeilside · 01-18-2007, 12:51 AM

Cool looking... but I find it interesting that no one here has challenged the design of this system. Looks as though it would not perform much better than stock.

The design completely defeats the purpose of having 360 deg filtration with a cone filter. I don't know if Gadget tested the K&N FIPK with the hood up or down. I'm guessing down as it lost power due to drawing in underhood heat. The results would be different if he ran it with the hood up. Cone filters are great if you can evacuate underhood heat, (open hood scoop, vented hoods, etc).

Don't get me wrong, it looks very nice under the hood. The concept just seems very odd to me.

I thought the same things about these filter kits at first. One of the best things I like about this filter is where it draws air from. One inlet is right behind the passenger headlight; the second is right where the elbow comes in from the fender. In effect, drawing colder air from outside instead of just having a cone filter open in the engine bay.

This design works well and does give performance gains plus better throttle response.
