    Default Cold Air Intake suggestions???

    I am running the Volant on my 2010 Tundra 5.7 with the corsa exhaust and love it. I am wondering if you guys would have any suggestions for my sons 99 pre-runner with the 3.4 engine.
    He has just recently graduated high school and is working this summer with a little money saved up before he starts college and is wanting to do a few upgrades to his truck.
    He has just recently installed the flowmaster 10 series race muffler with turn downs on it and whew, it makes some noise.
    Any suggestions you could give would be appreciated.

    True Flow Intake System - 40500 by True Flow

    I am fond of these and would consider trying one. Open elements just aren't as effective in otherwise factory setups. Why pay upwards of 350 bucks for a sealed aftermarket unit that provides an airbox that serves the same function as the factory one but looks prettier. This setup replaces the parts of your intake that could make some difference and leaves the ones that are perfectly fine already untouched. The only thing missing will be the 5 extra hp from the bling factor of having the big, obviously aftermarket airbox or heat shield there for all the world to see.

    A left and right tail light lense, a front and rear door skin, and one passenger side paint job later, she finally says 'it's just too big, I don't think I like driving it anymore.'

    I agree, but True Flow went out of business last year. While you can still get them from a few places online, I'm not sure what kind of customer or warranty support would be available.

    Well i called Danny at Volant and as he did with my unit when i called him for the 2010 Tundra at $300 he sold my son one for the 3.4 Taco pre-runner with shipping for $213 delivered to the house. I helped him install it the other night and while we were at it pulled the elbow out of the fender and cut it off to get rid of the restriction. He is satisfied with it.
    Thanks for your input.

    I called Volant and left a message for Danny. He has not returned my call and the rumor is that he left the company and joined the Circus. Anyone can confirm that?

    I had to call a couple of times before i got through to him, but he was real nice and was very appreciative of the TS bunch.
    I am fixing to put my volant off of my 2010 5.7 on the for sale list. I boxed it back up after the supercharger install and it is sitting in the garage. I figure i will ask $175 + shipping. I think the only thing is the mechanic did not put my two little screws back in the box for the mass air flow sensor.
