If you're looking to give your 4Runner a little extra pep in its step, check out the HPS Blue Performance Shortram Air Intake. This kit is designed specifically for the 1995-1999 Toyota 4Runner with the 2.7L engine, and it’s all about optimizing airflow while keeping things simple.
First off, the 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing is a game changer. It replaces that restrictive factory air box, allowing your engine to breathe easier and improving throttle response. We’re talking about a solid +7.0 Whp horsepower and +9.0 Ft/lbs torque gain, all without messing with your air-fuel ratio. And guess what? No tuning is required, so you can bolt it on and hit the road without worrying about any pesky check engine lights.
The kit also includes a heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield. This isn’t just for show; it blocks out engine heat, helping to keep the intake air cooler and denser. Cooler air means better performance, and that’s what we’re all about. Plus, the HPS performance air filter is washable and reusable, so you can keep it clean and keep those performance gains going without dropping extra cash on replacements.
Installation is straightforward, too. The included manual has clear pictures and instructions, making it easy for anyone with basic tools to get it done. No modifications are needed—just a simple bolt-on process. And those reinforced silicone hoses and stainless steel T-bolt clamps? They’re built to last, even if you’re pushing your 4Runner to the limit.
So if you're ready to boost your 4Runner's performance without breaking the bank or your back, the HPS Blue Shortram Air Intake is a solid choice. It’s reliable, easy to install, and gives you that extra kick you’ve been looking for.
