Banks Tuning Ram Air Intake installed on non-hybrid gas 2025 4Runner TRD Sport Premium

Haven't done the tune yet. I do monitor fuel trim, fault codes, and other performance data with my ODB reader. The EUC seems to have dialed in to the increased airflow.

And yes that's a Victory 4X4 powder coated aluminum engine cover. Much better than the plastic ones I've been seeing. Aids in heat dissipation.

Anyone happen to have any sound clips of this intake?

Don't have a sound clip but with the snorkel inlet cover removed the turbo sound is awesome! Noticeable sound upgrade and improved performance for sure.

Looks great. Did you do a tune yet? You really want it to wake up the tune will utilize all the parts together and fix the issues Toyota didn’t. After a week go through and check the clamps due to cycles. Banks recommended that to me.

I did check and tighten all the clamps. I recommend doing this after some run time. The boost tubes are definitely worth doing if you want the full benefits of increased air flow plus they are much higher quality than the OEM tubes and also look great.

Looks clean. Curious, how does it help w heat dissipation?

Btw, thanks for posting. I was debating between Afe and Banks. Going w banks.

Good choice you'll be glad. Engine sits up above the engine rather than down on top allowing for good air circulation. Also, aluminum is a goid heat conductor helping heat transfer. I would think plastic covers that sit down on engine would trap heat plus plastic is not a good heat conductor.

Meant to say engine cover sits up above.
