Overview
The AIRAID Synthaflow Cold Air Dam Air Intake System, part number EVE510-179, is a cold air intake for the 2005–2011 Toyota Tacoma and the 2007–2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It includes the inlet tube and an oil-type filter in an open filter housing.
The inlet track and filter combination is designed to flow more freely than the factory setup, and it is intended to help the engine make more power.
Key features
- Cold air intake system
- Inlet tube included
- Open filter housing
- Oil-type filter
- Inlet track and filter combination described by AIRAID as less restrictive than the factory setup
Caring for an oiled filter
Oiled filters trap dirt on the outside of the media, so they need regular inspection to keep airflow steady. Dusty trails and gravel roads load the element faster than paved driving, so a quick look after each off-road outing is a sensible habit. Clean the element with cleaner made for oiled air filters, let it dry fully, and re-oil it lightly before reinstalling.
An open housing leaves the filter more exposed than an enclosed box, so check the inlet tube and connections for loose clamps or dust trails. Water crossings call for the same check. Before running the engine, confirm the filter sits squarely so unfiltered air cannot bypass it. A torn or collapsed element should be replaced rather than patched.
- Inspect the filter after each dusty trip
- Look for loose clamps at the inlet tube
- Replace any torn or collapsed element
