# The Best Cold Air Intake for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma **By Nathan Fette** · 2025-03-17 # **The STILLEN TruPower Cold Air Intake: Innovation Meets Performance** When it comes to improving the performance of your 2024+ Toyota Tacoma, airflow is everything. The factory intake is restrictive, pulling hot air from the engine bay and limiting your truck's full potential. At STILLEN, we designed the [Tacoma TruPower Cold Air Intake](https://stillen.com/collections/intake/products/2024-toyota-tacoma-trupower-by-stillen-cold-air-intake) to eliminate these restrictions and deliver dyno-proven power gains of 24 wheel horsepower and 30 lb-ft of torque. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/TP403212_IMG04_2024_Toyota_Tacoma_TruPower_STILLEN_Intake_Oiled-1-768x533.jpg?v=1781815096) ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/TP403213_IMG03_2024_Toyota_Tacoma_TruPower_STILLEN_Intake_Dry-768x533.jpg?v=1781815097) ### **What Makes the STILLEN TruPower Intake Different?** Most aftermarket cold air intakes simply replace the stock system without addressing its fundamental flaws. The STILLEN TruPower Cold Air Intake goes a step further, optimizing airflow in multiple ways: ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/TP403213_IMG10_2024_Toyota_Tacoma_TruPower_STILLEN_Intake_Dry-700x486.jpg?v=1781815097) ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/TP403214_IMG06_2024_Toyota_Tacoma_TruPower_STILLEN_Intake_Scoop-700x486.jpg?v=1781815097) - **Larger 3-inch intake tube:** The OEM system uses a restrictive 2.6-inch tube that limits airflow. This upgrade increases the diameter, letting more air reach the turbo faster, reducing turbo lag and improving throttle response. - **Eliminates airflow restrictions:** The stock intake is filled with lattice-like material and sharp 90-degree bends that cause turbulence and slow airflow. STILLEN removed these inefficiencies, ensuring a smooth, direct path for incoming air. - **TruPower Cold Air Scoop:** Unlike intakes that pull heat-soaked engine bay air, the TruPower Scoop redirects cool, dense air from in front of the radiator, ensuring your turbo gets the coldest possible air for maximum performance and efficiency. - **Seals to the hood for true cold air intake:** Many intakes allow hot air to leak in, negating performance gains. This system seals tightly against the hood, preventing heat from entering the intake. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/TP403213_IMG07_2024_Toyota_Tacoma_TruPower_STILLEN_Intake_Dry-768x533.jpg?v=1781815097) ### **How We Tested It** STILLEN didn't just make bold claims — the team backed them up with real-world data. Using an AEM data logger and pressure sensors, engineers studied the restriction of the stock intake and found it operates under negative pressure, meaning the turbo is struggling to pull in enough air. By removing these restrictions, this cold air intake lets the turbo breathe freely, translating into faster spool time, better throttle response, and increased power. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/STILLEN_TruPower_Intake_Engine_Bay_03-700x394.jpg?v=1781815097) ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0144/4275/8230/files/STILLEN_TruPower_Intake_Engine_Bay_04-700x394.jpg?v=1781815097) ### **Dyno-Proven Results** Performance matters.
