I am looking at doing a few small things to my wifes runner. I already put a 1" lift up front to level it (funny for 20 years runner had SAS, now they are the opposite). I am swaping all the fluids this summer to synthetic, as well as adding a bypass filter.

What have people thought about the K&N FIPK? Is it work it? This rig doesnt see the trail much, I have my 92 for that. But I want something that will help the mpg a little. I already get 21-25 on the fwy, but every mpg counts.

As far as exhaust goes I am a big fan of aftermarket pipes, but stock looks pretty good, and they have a lifetime warrenty from toyota. I am certainly no going as far as a headers, but cat (cats since there are 4) back?? Was is a big improvment, or just a wicked sound?

Anyother input on improving efficancy and performance is appreciated. I know the two usually dont go hand in hand, but many performance upgrades offer increased economy when your foot isnt in it.

 

K&N FIPK... not worth it in my eyes. Lots of discussion on it clogging the sensors with oil and junk. Check out True Flow... it's amazing!

exhaust...
Borla Exhaust ( Personal favorite )
Gibson Exhaust
TRD Exhaust

Headers....
none yet to my knowledge

Good luck!

 

The magnaflow system for the 4th gens is awesome. I personally don't like the dual exhausts (split sides) look, but prefer it exiting right behind the passenger rear tire.

 

True Flow only makes products for the 4.7, any other ideads?

 

i've got no problems with my K&N you've just got to be careful i guess when you're oiling it. just shoot the whole hting let it sit 15 min then hit any white spots lightly

 

I also have a K&N on my truck, with no problems, so ??? it just depends on how you clean it I think.
