2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L Gets Simple Street Legal Performance Upgrade from AEM Air Intake
- Mar 11, 2015
The 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque offered by the second generation Toyota Tundra’s 5.7L 3UR-FE V8 is probably more than enough power for most situations. However, there are times such as towing, hauling a fully loaded bed, or even off-roading where a boost in horsepower and torque will come in handy. AEM has stepped in to provide the boost in horsepower that 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 owners are searching for with a 50-state street legal cold air intake system. The AEM performance air intake system for 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 models is a little different from the average AEM cold air intake system. The Toyota Tundra 5.7L cold air intake relies on an increase in airflow and reduced intake tract restriction to improve performance while keeping the stock air filter box and emissions equipment intact.
Retaining the stock air filter box allowed AEM Intakes designers to increase performance while keeping inlet air temperatures, and air / fuel ratios within factory specifications. Utilizing the stock air box maintains the use of the factory cold air inlet near the front wheel, without exposing the air filter to the elements. However, the best part about retaining the stock air filter box of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 models is that AEM Intake designers were able to retain all factory connections, including stock emissions control equipment, to create a cold air intake system that is legal for use in all 50-states including California. The factory air intake ducting, disposable air filter, and OE air inlet creates enough restriction for the Tundra’s 5.7L V8 engine that by replacing these components the AEM cold air intake 22-680C was able to provide increases in horsepower and torque. In-house dyno testing shows that the AEM 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 cold air intake produced an estimated additional 7 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque maximum increase at the wheels of an otherwise stock 2010 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8. The design features of this AEM cold air intake system were tuned to improve horsepower and torque that can be used even during average driving situations.
Included in the AEM cold air intake system for 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 models is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube which helps to overcome the restriction and turbulence created by the stock air ducting. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube used in 22-680C has a smooth and consistent internal circumference for reduced airflow turbulence. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow helps the second generation Toyota Tundra’s 5.7L 3UR-FE V8 to breathe without expending as much energy. This transmits to more power where it counts, at the rear wheels. The 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 cold air intake tube is protected with a durable charcoal gray powder coat finish that will look great for years to come. The air accelerator included with the 5.7L Tundra cold air intake relies on the venturi effect to increase the speed of incoming air. AEM Dryflow air filters are performance designed to reduce restriction over typical paper air filters. The AEM 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 cold air intake includes AEM Dryflow replacement air filter 28-20387 to reduce the restriction inherent to using the a disposable paper air filter. AEM Dryflow air filters are built with a non-woven synthetic air filter media to help increase airflow, and provide outstanding engine protection without the need for air filter oil. AEM Dryflow air filters are washable and reusable and can even go up to 50,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. When it comes time to service the air filter, cleaning can be easily completed using the AEM air filter cleaner 1-1000. Cleaning is performed by following a simple four step process. Because an AEM dry filter does not require oil, the air filter can be returned to service sooner and with less effort compared to other performance aftermarket air filters. The AEM cold air intake system for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 models is a quick street-legal bolt on upgrade.
