I've never had any reliability issues using dropin K&N's over 45+years of using them. I've never bought into most advertised performance claims. I've done this on all my vehicles over the years. I do a full check under the hood once a week. Using a drop in K&N and following simple maintenance instructions will not sacrifice the longevity & reliability of my Tundra. Toyota has had some recent issues that cost them a fortune in fines and sales. but it would be naive to think cost savings don't come into play.
Of course OEM's spend a fortune on R&D, etc. There's a huge after market for performance enhancers, my camaro is littered with them, but i certainly don't expect to throw down 50,000 miles without some serious headaches because i've sacrificed the longevity & reliability for performance.Ĭlick to expand.They all claim more horses, fuel economy, etc. Toyota's millions of dollars of investment in R&D in their models go into presumably vehicle longevity, reliability, build quality and now, with more critical focus on efficiency. I'd disagree with this for the most part. the same may not be true for a different car with crappy restrictively routed intake. That's only applicable to a Tundra though, the stock system is relatively well designed. The fact they can't identify an improvement, even in lab conditions, suggests that the CAI or K&N don't offer any improvement. If they could improve that, even in lab conditions to boost the EPA rating adn therefore sales, by slapping in a CAI or K&N, I'm pretty sure they would do. I'd argue that with Tundra being the thirstiest full size truck by a growing margin each model year, i'm sure it puts some people off buying a Tundra.
