Secondary Airfilter
Hi guys,i have a 05 dbl cab 4x4 trd offroad,even though the truck has good power im a man that firmly believes u can never have too much power,having said that im looking for ways to gain some exrta ponies! I have already installed a k&n filter on it and will be putting on a muffler next, my question is has anybody removed the secondary airfilter on these thangs?It looks like it is molded into the intake,does it come out? thx..
