If you're looking to give your 1995-1999 Toyota 4Runner 2.7L a little extra pep, the HPS Red Performance Shortram Air Intake with heat shield (part number 827-663R) is a solid choice. I’ve had my hands on this kit, and I can tell you it’s all about enhancing that throttle response and squeezing out some extra power. We’re talking about a dyno-proven boost of +7.0 Whp and +9.0 Ft/lbs of torque, all while keeping your air-fuel ratio safe and sound.

The heart of this setup is a 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube that really opens up airflow, replacing that restrictive stock air box. It’s lightweight yet built to last, and the heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield does a great job of keeping engine heat at bay, maximizing that cooling effect. No one wants to lose power because of heat, right?

Installation? It’s a breeze. The kit comes with a clear manual packed with pictures and step-by-step instructions, so you won’t be scratching your head trying to figure it out. And the best part? You don’t need to tune your vehicle or worry about triggering that pesky check engine light. Just bolt it on and you’re good to go!

This air intake also features HPS’s signature race-proven reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps, ensuring everything stays secure even when you’re pushing your 4Runner to the limits. Plus, the all-new HPS Performance Air Filter is washable and reusable, offering excellent filtration without choking your engine. And yes, it's made right here in the USA and comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Just a heads-up, though—this setup isn't CARB compliant, so if you're in California or similar areas, keep that in mind.
