I would like to create a list of performance mods that are the biggest wastes of money for new Tacoma owners and others thinking about buying them. I don't want people to fall into the same traps I did. I'll get the list going:
1. Air Intake Kits (K&N, Injen, Volant, Airaid, etc.)
2. All Throttle Body Spacers
3. Tornado Fuel Saver Thingie
4. Those eBay listings that claim to add 10-20 HP and all they send you is a resistor
you must be the exception. i told myself for the longest time that i felt a difference when really i didn't. i would still like to get a stock airbox and do the deckplate and rip my K+N out
I still have my stock airbox and intake tube but I can't seem to make myself remove something I paid $250 for. I sure could use that $250 that I wasted almost 2 years ago. I need new tires and want Bridgestone Revos and them damn things aren't cheap!

Nah, I'd rather get rid of the FIPK for around $100 and keep the stockers. I think that stock airbox and intake tube setup is very expensive from the dealership parts dept. I misplaced my price sheet, but I'm sure it is up there.
I have my stock box and tubes on my 2.4 if anyone is interested. I'm not going to be taking out my FIPK anytime soon. Works good for what it was...free. =o) Shoot me a good reasonable price for the stock box (off a 97 btw).
I was actually looking at the top of page 106 in the latest Performance Products catalog. "Performance Software by JET" Is this not a good upgrade for $308.95?
you also let more dirt in your motor by using a K&N...they are the worst filter to use.....yeah you may gain more power from more air, but more air means more dirt in the motor, and whats your motor worth to you..... here is a link to what I am talking about...
