2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L CPLT Intake
More Power. Clean V6 Sound.
Designed specifically for the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma’s naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, the SXTH Element CPLT Intake delivers dyno-proven power gains with no tuning required. A massive dry-flow filter, magnetic airbox lid, and platform-specific Helmholtz resonator bring together increased airflow, easy maintenance, and a clean intake sound without the annoying resonance.
Dyno-Proven Performance
Our Dynojet comparison recorded 254.39 wheel horsepower with the CPLT Intake, compared with 240.77 wheel horsepower with the OEM intake. That’s an increase of 13.62 peak wheel horsepower, with additional power and torque gains visible through much of the upper RPM range.
Peak wheel torque increased from 237.82 to 243.98 lb-ft, a gain of 6.16 lb-ft between the recorded peaks.
The displayed graph focuses on the upper RPM range, excluding the initial throttle roll-in affected by the automatic transmission’s kickdown behavior. Results reflect the tested vehicle and conditions.
Massive Filter, Purposeful Airflow
Our new dry-flow filter features a 6-inch inlet, paired with a smooth taper to the factory MAF sensor diameter. This design supports increased airflow while preserving compatibility with the factory calibration and OEM drivability.
Filtration Backed by Testing
The dry-flow filter uses the same filtration technology covered in our published air filter testing. Laboratory testing following ISO 5011 / SAE J726 standards demonstrated up to 99.52% filtration efficiency, with low initial restriction at a test airflow of 300 m³/h.
Read our Air Filter Efficiency Testing report for the testing details.
Clean Sound Without the Annoyance
Our integrated Helmholtz resonator is developed specifically for the Tacoma’s 3.5-liter V6. It targets the unwanted resonance that can make aftermarket intakes intrusive, including the harsh pitch around 3,800–4,000 RPM under heavier throttle.
The result is a smooth, strong intake tone through redline, giving your V6 more character while keeping everyday driving comfortable.
Magnetic Lid, Easy Maintenance
Our signature magnetic airbox lid gives you quick access to the filter. Lift the cover to inspect or service the filter, then snap it back into place.
Bolt-On Installation. No Tuning Required.
The CPLT Intake installs without vehicle modifications and retains the OEM attachments. Its MAF section matches the factory sensor diameter, allowing the system to work with the stock ECU calibration.
