Every once in a while we feature trucks from the Midwest on our site. This one caught our attention due to the background which is very Midwestern. Plus the Kevlar option on this Tundra almost makes it appear “bullet proof.” If you have a truck that you want featured on our site please contact us today.
Toyota Motor Corporation initially made their mark in the automotive industry with smaller, highly fuel efficient and reliable compact vehicles, but the 21st century saw some new players on Toyota’s roster with their rugged and powerful trucks. The Toyota Tundra burst onto the scene in 2000 and took Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year in its rookie season, defeating veterans of Detroit’s Big Three. The Tundra has continued to impress over the years with a powerful V8 engine, durability and overall reliability. Owners of 2010 and 2011 Toyota Tundra 4.6L models can upgrade their lifted trucks to even more power and performance with K&N’s 77-9035KP performance air intake system.
K&N’s 77-9035KP performance air intake system is precision engineered, specifically for new Tundra models, and will make owners grin from ear to ear with an estimated gain of 10 horsepower and 11 pound-feet of torque at 5280 RPM. It replaces the restrictive factory intake system with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and oversized K&N air filter. It comes with a heat shield to help maintain lower inlet air temperatures.
K&N engineered this performance air intake system to maintain all factory connections and work within the truck’s factory engine programming parameters. This simple to install, air intake system comes with a washable and reusable air filter and is backed by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty. It will provide outstanding air filtration and it can be used for up to 100,000 miles before air filter servicing is needed depending on driving conditions.
To the dismay of some (and to the joy of others) the pickup truck market is no longer dominated by Detroit. Manufacturers like Toyota have brought all-star players to their lineup, such as the reliable and rugged Tundra. In any competition, great players need great equipment, and 2010 and 2011 Tundra 4.6L V8 owners can help their all-stars shine with the K&N 77-9035KP performance intake system.

SoCal SAYS: Another great intake from K&N for the new Tundras. It retails for about $300, which is competitive with most other intakes. You can’t beat the quality, extra HP, and a company that stands behind their products.
A sister product to the K&N 57 Series FIPK, the 63 Series AirCharger® Intake Kits are guaranteed to increase horsepower and come with a 1,000,000 Mile Limited Warranty. K&N intake systems replace your vehicle’s restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your vehicle’s engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine’s RPM range. The filters on these kits are washable and reusable. Most of K&N intake kits are relatively easy to install using tools commonly available. The 63 Series Intakes are street legal in most states. They are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. The kit is for the 2010-2011 Toyota Tundra 4.6 Liter V8 engine.
SoCal SAYS: Blasted California and their emission standards! Okay, we are being a little sarcastic, but it’s a little frustrating when K&N builds a quality product and it’s illegal to use in California. That being said, if you decide to buy the AirCharger kit, it should add at least 10 HP and last you 100,000 miles before it needs servicing. It will run you $350-$400 and you will know why it’s worth the money the first time you drive your lifted truck with the AirCharger kit on it. Fun times…
