Of course you're right about the dual pod application. Not sure why we forgot about the dual option. Regarding the visor not deploying, we'll investigate immediately.
Can you tell us what firmware version you're running on the iDash Pro and mobile app?
We’ve tested the Stealth Pod mount in a few dozen trucks and the visor has always cleared. When you have a moment, please see if your visor can slide to the right, thereby allowing it to deploy and clear the iDash.
Do you have two iDashes? How are they mounted? We only made a single pod for the...
According to their website, the SXTH intake will only work with a Trailhunter if the ECM is tuned because the cross sectional area at the MAF sensor is calibrated for the non-TRD Pro/TH variants. Our TRD Pro/TH will be available this summer. And it'll be worth the wait!
You bring all valid points, and to be clear, we value your feedback. We'll take it into serious consideration. Some inside baseball... Before we released our intake, SXTH owned the groups and forums. They did a great job seeding influencers and group moderators with free product. So, what you...
Astute observations. Yes, we alter the cross-sectional area at the MAF sensor. We are just shy of the safe AFR limit. There's one intake that produces more power but it runs the engine too lean in our opinion.
Regarding long lasting gains, we've tested several aftermarket intake equipped...
We're genuinely sorry to have lost you a potential customer.
However, our marketing will not change. Here's why.
The automotive aftermarket has a relatively low barrier to entry. And, few people actually fact check manufacturers' claims. There are a few brands that are notorious for stating...
We'll clarify about our "tuning" comments that are frequently seen in Facebook groups.
When we entered the Tacoma market last year, we were besieged with OTT tuners who proclaimed that aftermarket intake systems were worthless. They said, and still do, that money is best spent on a tune. They...

"As far as Banks, I will never trust a manufacture's numbers. I find it hard to believe an 18hp gain with an intake change. Sorry Banks, but that almost doesn't pass the laugh test."
Years ago, only magazines could hold manufacturers accountable for power claims. Today with the...
You bring up great points, which we're happy to address.

This is the modern day battleground. In professional football, you don't say, "We'll let the other team score one or two touchdowns and then we'll come back and beat them." The goal is to keep them from scoring. When we...
@Diablo Taco Despite Cam's dyno test, the Ram-Air produces 18hp WHP and we're standing by it. We like Cam. We will not dispute his tests. However, we test 5 days a week for consumer and defense products. Accuracy is paramount to us and our clients.
We've battled competitors for more than six...
Our published dyno data is the same iForce and iForce Max because the factory engine calibrations are the same. In other words, Toyota rates them at the same power output. The only calibrations that are different, are manual trans equipped trucks, TRD Pro and Trailhunter.
For those new to Banks... this post may seem controversial.
We’ve engineered cold air and ram-air intakes systems, fluid cooling products, turbochargers, tuning, and related performance systems for nearly seven decades. Our work spans boats, cars, pickups, racing, OEM, and defense applications...
In a recent post in a Tacoma Facebook group, we found this comment thread.

My opinion without owning either is banks has much more experience and engineering capability.

Glad you're enjoying the Ram-Air Intake. When you tune an engine, it demands more air. The Ram-Air provides overhead that the tuner will take advantage of. Wait until you pair it with the boost tubes, forthcoming intercooler, turbo inlet and throttle body inlet.
Both turbo inlet and throttle body inlet are in development. I cannot share details about them at this time because our competitors are also also in development. We don't want to give them any ideas.
