Default Any Cold Air Intakes available?

Any cold air intakes available for the LX out there? I have a 2016. I haven't come across any so far.

I don't understand why you'd want a cold air intake. I've never seen an independent dyno test showing a CAI increases either horsepower or torque.

If you're driving a 200 series, you get cold air via the intake in the passenger side fender. Air under the hood will be hotter once the truck warms up. The net effect will simply be more noise under the hood when you put your foot in it. Classy.

Are you thinking of a coffee can exhaust after the CAI?

I don't see many mods for LX. You might find a KN filter at best.

If someone thinks K&N or any other company making add-on's can do a better job engineering the CAI than Toyota, especially if they can eke out another 1/2 mpg on CAFE standards, please think again.

LOL. Maybe should go for a snorkel type of CAI that sticks way up in the air attempting to catch some cold air? NOT!!!
