S&B Intake for the Toyota 4Runner: Initial Review and How it Sounds

In this video we give our initial review of the S&B Filters' Cold Air Intake for the 5th Generation (2010-2021) Toyota 4Runner. Special thanks to TRD Jon for selling me his used intake. You can see what he replaced it with on his channel.

The version we have is the 1st version. The new version is on their website now...
***UPDATE: S&B's website shows the new version as "Shipping Soon"***

Amazing video as always guys!!!! Glad you all are enjoying it! Nice catch Mark 🤣

[drezwider]

Moral of the story is a tune is more helpful then just an after market air intake or even after market exhaust

[HardcoreSurfingLLC]

Wait a minute, how do you have a drivers side grab handle!?

[PowerstrokeToyt]

So i probably wouldn't hear the intake lol
My 4runner has a turn down flowmaster

[p.k.]

I got no throttle response after install and check engine light

[jasonlopez]

What did you do with your stock airbox is it for sale?

[dunnoyolo]

What are your thoughts on filter now ?

[lot]

WOW YouTube, your algorithms are really smart. I watched TRD JON videos early today and was wondering what happened to the package that he threw from his driveway... Now I know where his package landing 🤣🤣

[jubeikubegami]

Nice vid. I've got the same version. The mounting holes were a PITA, but I got it to fit. Love the throaty sounds.

[GrnPwrRnger]

@ 3:11 here is this JUST intake or is there exhaust on this 4Runner as well because when you get on throttle she sounds stock-ish.

[johnrichards]

Did you ever get this tuned? Would be curious to hear an update from you on it.

[ktmjay]

Great video, . Wich intake do you recommend. Looking at all options on stock 4runner

[rachylmaggard]

Did you guys ever do the update video like you had mentioned? I can’t seem to find it?

[trailrunnah]

This is an older video, but I just stumbled upon this.

Two questions: 1), does this help with low RPM torque? The constant downshifting whenever I approach anything resembling a grade has gotten very annoying. (And I am on stock size tires). These things have plenty of HP, in my opinion the problem is that the torque is at the wrong end of the RPM range.

2) at higher RPMs, does the intake noise cover up the sound of the engine? I find the amount of engine noise that intrudes into the cabin to be irritating, as to me it is not pleasant sounding at all.

These are my two big issues with my 5th gen, I'm looking into possible aftermarket options to try to address these issues before I resort to just selling it and getting something with a better powertrain.

[johnrommelt]

Any updates to buy or not to buy?
I dont want an oiled filter.
Do you have to retune engine for this unit?

[DweezilBubbadown]

I got worried when you said they no longer make this. However, im looking at the site and they have one for sale. Did they stop making them and then start again or are they making a different one for the 4runner and Fj now?

[ace_weiand]

Great video! Sounds super!!! Do any of these work or fit in a 2007 fj cruiser? And which make is it for if so? Thanks!

[andywiggens]

So basically there is absolutly no bennifit to putting on a $400 dollar CAI

[mdtwyne]

Great, detailed video. Thanks!

What ECU tuning product are y’all planning to experiment with? The only option I’m aware of for custom tuning is OVTune’s vForest software, and that’s beta.

[tungnguyen-qrdn]

I thought they discontinued it already
