If you're looking to give your 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma 4.0L V6 a proper boost, the HPS Black cool ram air intake is worth checking out. This isn’t just some flashy upgrade; it’s built to enhance performance while keeping things practical. The mandrel-bent aluminum tube design allows for smooth airflow, which means you’ll notice an uptick in horsepower and torque. Plus, the throttle response gets a nice kick, making your driving experience that much more enjoyable.

One of the standout features here is its design. Unlike a typical cold air intake, this short ram setup is a solid choice for those rainy days when you don’t want to worry about water getting sucked into your engine. It’s straightforward to install, too. The included manual has clear pictures and step-by-step instructions, so you won’t be left scratching your head. No tuning is required, and you won’t have to deal with that pesky check engine light. You can swap it in without any modifications, making it a hassle-free upgrade.

The HPS intake replaces the restrictive stock air box, optimizing airflow while ensuring durability and heat dissipation. It’s made from lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum alloy, which not only looks great under the hood but also stands up to the test of time. The kit comes with HPS’s signature reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps, so you know it’s built to last—even if you’re pushing your truck to the limits.

And let’s not forget about the air filter. The new HPS Performance Air Filters are made right here in the USA and are designed for high performance. They offer excellent filtration without choking your airflow, and the best part? They’re washable and reusable, making maintenance a breeze. Just a heads up, though—this kit isn’t CARB compliant, so keep that in mind if you’re in a state with strict emissions regulations.
