Stillen TruPower Cold Air Intake?

[Dustin4Tacos]

Has anyone installed the Stillen TruPower Cold Air intake and Scoop yet on their 4th Gen Tacoma?
If so, first impressions? Ease of installation? Sound? Performance?
Thanks in advance.

This is the one I’m inquiring about.

I have the sixth element on mine and haven't noticed much of a difference except for the turbo noise. No increase in mileage. I also did the 6 element axle dump.

I have been looking to get one as well. Install looks pretty simple. Couple of screws and a few push pins and hose clamps. All of it is easy access right on top. The Stillen intake does not require removal of the hydrocarbon trap which makes the install easier.

Install was easy as you described, hydrocarbon trap ?

 

[Lennyz1]

The hydrocarbon trap is the device between the turbo and the intake tube. Stillen ran tests leaving the trap installed and then using a one piece smooth bore tube from the airbox to the turbo and found no significant differences. Watch the video on their site and it talks about the testing that was done during the development. I believe it is illegal to remove the hydrocarbon trap and operate on the street in many states. The K&N removes the trap in one of their CAI kits.

6 element did not have me remove that.

I was searching for a cold air system, and was contacted by Will, from sales at Stillen. I purchased the cold air system with the scoop. Very straight forward install, very easy. I personally have not noticed any difference in performance, or sound at all. To be honest, the scoop is built well, it's solid, but completely unnecessary and gimmicky. Again it's a quality product, built well, durable and tough. But I'm not convinced of the price tag that goes with it. I'd shop around. DM me for photos.

No issues? My truck just threw a maf code. Installed it on April 25th but just today got a CEL. I have the dry filter with scoop.

i have a maf code and have the dry filter as well but no scoop. i though ok maybe i did something wrong and went throught he clamps and made sure the maf was tightened down good but after 75 miles the truck went threw the same code and went into limp mode while i was on the freeway and had to limp 30 miles home. im about done with the intake and fed up.

what was their resolution for you ?

I havent heard back from them in a couple days and quite disappointed about that.

leaning towards just wanting a refund and going with a different system.

You do realize that the stock system is cold, eh?

24 Trail Hunter and ordered the Stillen CAI. It didn't fit as the box impacted several places on the front. Went back and forth with them showing pictures of the issue.
They then wanted me to check other items like this ID of the tube, etc. It dawned on me they had not completed full R&D for a Trail Hunter so it was returned. Now waiting on refund and told it could take up to ten days to post........Not happy.
Had a 23 Tundra TRD Pro prior and remember Stillen did the same thing with several products marketed for the Tundra without insuring full fit.

No resolution, the first time I got the code they said they would let their manager or engineer know and get back to me but they never did. I’m going to ask for a refund as well because my box didn’t even line up for me to put the push clips in. That was also something I first emailed them about, got one reply asking for more pictures and then never heard back.
