      Merideth: Now, if you're looking for an affordable and efficient way to upgrade the intake on your 2016 or newer 3.5-liter Toyota Tacoma, this RedRock Cold Air Intake in Black will be a good mod to take a look at.Now, if you've added some heavier mods to your truck and noticed a lack in fuel economy or throttle response, this cold air intake is going to do a great job at allowing your engine to breathe better and help when it comes to adding some of that performance back. This will also be a great option if you're tired of constantly replacing your factory filter and want one that you can reuse for your truck. I would like to call out that this style of intake is not going to be as protective as the factory air box, so I would recommend this for somebody who's mainly avoiding mud and water in their off-road adventures.Now, this intake will feature a straight-through style intake tube to relieve restriction, increasing air flow and better fuel efficiency, while also increasing the performance, which can usually be felt in throttle response without any tune required. This will also feature a reusable filter that I mentioned to cut down on maintenance while creating a cleaner and more efficient flow of air getting into the motor. In addition to the function, this will also just elevate the styling underneath the hood compared to the boring factory plastics.Now, getting into the build of each of the components here, the heat shield will be made of a durable steel material that will seal to the hood, and the intake tube will have an aluminum build to reduce any heat buildup while boasting a tough black powder coat on top for that stealthy look and additional protection to the materials underneath. Now, the filter here will be made with a high-flow multi-layer media that will be 100% cleanable, and the rest of the kit will come with all the hardware, clamps, and fittings that you need for a snug fit.Now, this will be roughly $200 and is very affordable in comparison to other options on the page. Now, something simplistic like this will usually be more on the cost-effective side as to where some more expensive choices may have a bit more going on with their design, like a full air box design compared to this heat shield option here.Now, I overall really like the fact that this is a no-frill design. It kind of keeps it straightforward while still being very functional for your setup and gives a good aesthetic underneath the hood while saving you a couple of bucks in the process.Now, install is very easy at a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, taking you about an hour to get the job done with some basic hand tools. At this point, we can head over to the shop and check out a detailed breakdown of what that install looks like step by step, so that's gonna wrap it up for me. Let's go ahead and get into it.Man: The tools you'll need for this project are a ratchet, a 7-millimeter, an 8-millimeter, a 10-millimeter and a 12-millimeter socket, a short extension, an 8-millimeter, a 10-millimeter and a 13-millimeter wrench, a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, a 5-millimeter Allen head wrench and a pair of pliers.Hi, everyone. Today, we're installing cold air intake on our Tacoma, but before we do that, let's watch a short video on how to uninstall the stock system first.Merideth: So, our first step is very easy. We just have to pop off our engine cover and get that out of the way so we can access our intake and our throttle body here.Next, we can remove this hose on the side. I have a pair of pliers, I'm just gonna clamp that clamp down and pull back, move that out of the way, then we can disconnect our MAF sensor over here. So, I just have a small flat head screwdriver.There is a clip holding in our wiring harness, I'm gonna undo that, get that out of the way, so we can press down on the wiring harness here and pull back. You should hear a little click, we can get that out of the way as well.So, there is another clip on the back here that's connected to our resonator, should be pretty easy to pop out. If that gives you some trouble, you can use a trim removal tool or a flat head, but it should be pretty simple. Now we can loosen up our clamps.Then we can loosen up the one that's on our air box and our intake tube using the same 10-millimeter socket. Should be able to wiggle off our intake tube after both of those are disconnected. Get that out of the way and we can work on our air box.Our next step is to take off the top of our air box and take out our filter so we can access bolts underneath. All we have to do is push forward on these clamps and unhook them. And we should be able to very easily pop that out. This is where we can access our filter. It's just a drop-in filter so we can take that out. And there are two bolts in the inside of our air box that we have to remove.Now we can remove the two bolts on the inside of our air box using a 12-millimeter socket. I'm also using a 5-inch extension to give myself a little bit of room just because this is pretty deep here. So, we do have one more bolt on the outside here that's holding our air box in place. We're gonna use that same 12-millimeter socket and extension to remove that. After those three bolts are removed, we can wiggle out our air box and we're ready for install.Man: All right. Before we get to the actual install, there's a couple of things that we need to take care of first. The first thing we need to do is transfer our mass air flow sensor from our stock system to our new intake tube. To do that, we're gonna need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and we'll just remove these two screws holding the mass air flow sensor in and then just pull it straight out.Once we've got that done, we'll go ahead and remove the two supplied screws with the new intake, then we'll slide this in to the new tube. You want to make sure that this rubber O-ring that goes around the top here is completely seated before you tighten down the screws. So just make sure that it's all the way in and then you can go ahead and reinstall the screws and tighten it down. When you tighten these down, just make sure that you don't over tighten it and crack the housing on the mass air flow sensor.All right. With the mass air flow transfer complete, what we'll do now is go ahead and install the heat shield, put that together and then put it in the truck.All right. So our heat shield comes in two different pieces here. We have the bottom piece and we have the side piece. So we're just gonna slide the side piece around the outside edge of the lower piece and then, using the supplied hardware, these little 5-millimeter M5 bolts, Allen head bolts, we're gonna slide that through, use a washer and one of the supplied lock nuts to secure it. We'll just work our way around. There are five of these in total. So once we've got all five of our bolts in, we're gonna use the provided Allen wrench and an 8mm wrench to go ahead and tighten those down. And our last one.Once we've got that down, now we go ahead and install our rubber shield around the edge. Starting from the bottom, we're just gonna go ahead and push this on and go all the way around. That's a little tight on the sharp corner, so you may have to put a little bit of extra effort into it, but it will go down. All right. So now we've got our trim all the way around.So the last thing to do before we actually get to the install is install this bracket to the bottom of our plate here on our heat shield. Now there's three holes on the bottom, but the one that we're gonna be using is right next to the air inlet hole on the heat shield. So we're gonna use the supplied flange bolt to come in from the bottom, put the bracket on, use the flat washer, and one of the supplied nuts. So to snug this up, we're gonna need a 10-millimeter socket and a 10-millimeter wrench. All right. Now we're actually ready to get to the install.So now we're ready to go ahead and install our heat shield mounts. Now you see we've got two different styles here. The one with the two studs is gonna go right back here behind the windshield washer bottle, and the other two are gonna go in these holes right here. So we'll just go ahead and screw those in, and we'll just give them a quick little snug with a pair of pliers just to make sure that they're in tight.Now we're ready to install our heat shield. The bracket that we installed earlier is gonna go on this front one here. Now you know why we said to leave it loose. We'll do that, and we'll line up the other two. Now we'll use the supplied Phillips head screw, a flat washer, and a lock washer to go ahead and secure this heat shield to the mounts that we just installed. Now we can use the supplied flat washer and lock nut for the front stud of the heat shield.We'll go ahead and install our lock nut, and we'll tighten that down. If you've got a ratcheting wrench, it'll really be helpful for you, but we'll lock that down with our 13-millimeter wrench. And now we'll tighten down the other end of the bracket using our 10-millimeter socket and our 10-millimeter wrench on the bottom.Now we're gonna install our adapter into our air filter and tighten that clamp down with our 8-millimeter socket. We'll go ahead and just set that in place right there. Now we'll go ahead and install our intake tube. To install our intake tube, we're gonna slide the one 3-inch coupler over one end of the tube, and then slide a clamp to one end of it, and then slide another clamp on the other end.And we can go ahead and insert this air filter into the end of the tube. And then we'll use the 3-inch and the 4-inch adapter on the other end to go to the throttle body.So now we'll go ahead and slide our clamp onto our adapter, insert it over our pipe, insert the other clamp, and then attach it to the throttle body. And before we tighten down our clamps, we'll go ahead and attach our PCV hose, and using a pair of pliers, we'll secure the clamp. And now we can go ahead and tighten down all of our clamps using our 7-millimeter socket.And lastly, we'll go ahead and reattach our mass air flow sensor connector, and we're done.And our very last step is to reinstall our engine cover and call it a day.And that wraps up our review and install of the RedRock Cold Air Intake with the Black Finish for the 2016-to-current 3.5-liter Tacoma. Thanks for watching, and remember, for all things Tacoma, keep it right here at www.extremeterrain.com.
