Has anyone put a TRD cold air intake on a 2019 v6?

    I know they are the same motor and same truck but they haven't released it yet for the 2019. I've seen other intakes that fit 2016-2019 so I've pretty sure it should work. I think I'm going to try it soon. Thanks.

    It’ll work just fine...vendors are just lazy in updating their websites.

    Yeah itll work. No changes to the engine or engine layout in 2019. I had one on my 2018 btw, not worth it.

    I like the CAI and combined with the Pro exhaust it sounds so much better. I really don't feel any power gains but my truck is a lot smoother and it was fine to begin with. For $700 I'm happy.

    i have both TRD Intake and TRD exhaust. Personally think the intake isn’t worth it, it’s pretty much a TRD airbox cover and red accent tubing. It reuses the lower portion of the stock airbox. I was not impressed. Would choose one of the aftermarket options. I do like the TRD exhaust, sounds better, but not too loud and doesn’t drone. just my .02

    Intakes switch from getting the air front the fender where the air is cooler and moves it under the hood where the air is hotter. Then, they call it a cold air intake for what?

    Yeah the catback trd exhaust is worth it! When I added the CAI I literally didnt notice any difference in sound, performance, anything. Does look cool though

    It's all in my write up. I bought a TRD (smaller) resonator to improve the sound.

    I have a TRD Intake with two oiled filters and the cleaning / oil solutions I would sell for $300. My part out has begun as there is a Tundra Pro in my future.

    I just did mine 2 days ago. It was worth it to me, not because it looks freaking awesome and sounds even better but I did not like the hesitation from a stop...seemed like it to me anyways, and that is now gone. I definitely feel the power difference. After a few weeks I will know if it saved any MPG, from what I understand, if it does it will only be 1 or 2 difference.20190807_195447.jpg

    I’m pretty sure the OP was referring to the TRD intake from Toyota, which is what i have installed and honestly haven’t noticed any difference in performance or fuel efficiency. Like i said before the TRD intake is merely a new too cover and Red accent tubing. I’m wishing i would have spent the money on some of the aftermarket options like u have. I had a K&N intake on my Civic SI and it did make a difference.
