Any time that you can remove restrictions from the intake path, you can improve performance. The intakes on our rigs are restrictive, and opening up the front of the air box makes them MUCH less so. To get the best effect from the mod, you also need to move to a less restrictive air filter. Many folks run Amsoil, K&N's are around as well. |
Originally posted by midiwall Ummm, and there are a TON of folks on the forum that say it helps a lot. To get the best effect from the mod, you also need to move to a less restrictive air filter.

It all boils down to what you want to do, everybody has different views, but being a junior in the auto industry repair, I am starting to definilty think different about a good amount of mod's to vehicles vs really any improved performance in the long run. |
thankx
thankx for the input, its for a buddy, i think he just like the deep sound, lol, i cant seem to get him to go off roading humm oh well,,
thankx again Ric |
I guess for the sake of the question, the 4" deckplate mod is probably the same as for your 4Runner, see if you can look it up on a search and it will only be a few creative re-routing things you might have to do.
Here's a start: Jackson's writeup |
I did the deckplate mod to my T100 and it definately made a difference in sound. Its a lot louder coming from under the hood now. Also, my fuel mileage seems to have improved by 1-2 mpg. The nice thing is you can put the plate over the hole if you decide you dont like it!

its done
i was hoping to get some pics from you Tundra guys, but we got it in there, he loves it, the sound anyways, if he says anything about his MPG ill let ya know.
Ric p.s. yes i have done it on my runner :) |
