Thumbs up True Flow Airfilter & PIAA lights for your Runner--Great Products

Ok, I put in the True Flow Filter Saturday along with the PIAA lights. I did not drive any until when I left Sunday. The filter only has 70miles through it so I am not sure if the better mileage I had coming back was due to it but I feel it is because I always fill up at the same place before I leave and I use Mid-Grade as always. Well normally my hand will be just past the "F" mark tothe point that you can see the white mark. Today it didnt go past the mark and I pretty much drove as normal an actually detoured through the city to run a couple of errands. I will say my downshift when passing seems smoother but I expect to really be able to give more info inthe next 3-4 days.

Now the PIAA lights I am very pleased with so far. I waited till dark to leave in order to get some use out of them. There is not a noticeable amount of Blue Tint to the lights which I do like. The are rated at 3800K. The lights definitely made a visible difference onthe country roads leaving my parents as well as on the highway making the lines more visible and giving me plenty of distance visibility. My high beams were not necessary where I normally would use them.

As of now I am very please with both purchases. Now the filter was a very tight fit and I did have a time getting the lid to the AirBox closed but it did close. This tight fit will also help keep excess dirt from getting around the filter and entering the engine.

I used thsi on a 2000 Sr5

JASON---Thanks for 2 great products. I will give more feedback on the filter in the coming days.

By far the best filter I have ever come across! I've already made a post about it so I would probably get in trouble if I made another one

I'll be purchasing a filter b4 too long. So is this one better than an amsoil dual-stage, as far as which one filters better? and cost comparison?

TrueFlow intake kicks ass. I put it in my Runner, and it got me a few extra MPG's, and a few more hp's too. I have the PIAA GTX (straight from Japan...) bulbs. They rock. The kill my XTreme Whites, hands down!!

The best way to notice the difference is to drive like how you did before you installed it.

And so simple too!

Better low end throttle response, smoother shifting and a whole lot less downshifting up a grade. This is what I have noticed in the last 800 miles with this filter.

Still Loving mine and it made great improvements in the "fun factor" of driving my truck everyday.
