Im doing my 3.4 swap and changing brand new everything ive rebuilt the motor im almost done with my SaS and im wondering what the best air filter and exhaust for HP and Torque is.

Ideas please.

afe dry element filter and keep the factory box.

Do you use the elbow through the fender? or do you think it restricts air flow? how about the deck plate mod?

Theres a video on youtube of a guy saying he has better results on the dyno with stock box w/o the elbow (said he had not tried deck plate mod yet)

Just wondering what would work best w/ our 3.4 s/c's..?

either deck plate it or pull the elbow. Doing one or the other helps, but doing both doesn't "double" the results.

Factory box and OEM filter looks and works best IMO

Not to sound so stupid but what is the deck plate mod.

If I had the original air box I would have used it....but I really like the sound of an aftermarket filter. It just sounds.....perfect

I used an Injen intake kit for a 96 Tacoma. Uses an Amsoil blue dry filter. Looks nice.

I am running the AFE dry element filter. It flows better than oem and functions nearly as well. Also, AFE makes the airfilters for TRD.
