If you’re looking to breathe some new life into your 1996-1998 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.4L V6, the HPS Performance 827 Series Air Intake Kit might be just what you need. This isn't just another air intake system; it's a game-changer. The 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing is designed to really open things up, giving you a noticeable boost in horsepower and torque. Plus, it sharpens your throttle response, so you can feel the difference right away when you hit the gas.
One of the best parts? You won’t have to worry about tuning your engine or triggering that pesky CEL light. It’s a straightforward install—no modifications needed. The included manual is super user-friendly, packed with clear pictures and step-by-step instructions. Even if you're not a pro mechanic, you'll find it easy to get this kit up and running.
The HPS kit replaces your stock air box, which is often a bottleneck in airflow. With this setup, you get optimized airflow along with excellent heat dissipation. The materials used are top-notch too. The lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum is durable and built to last, even under tough conditions. And let’s not forget about the reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps—these are race-proven and ensure everything stays secure, no matter how hard you push your 4Runner.
Now, about that air filter. The HPS Performance Air Filter is designed for serious performance. It’s washable and reusable, which not only saves you some cash in the long run but also means you can keep your engine breathing clean air. The woven cotton element traps dirt down to 5 microns, ensuring superior airflow without compromising filtration. Plus, it’s made right here in the USA, so you know you’re getting quality.
In short, if you want to enhance your 4Runner's performance without the hassle of extensive modifications, this air intake kit is a solid choice. It’s all about getting the most out of your engine while keeping things simple. Just remember, this kit isn’t CARB compliant, so if you're in California, keep that in mind.
