Cold Air Intake Kit for 2012-2019 Toyota Tundra 4.6L V8 Gas

🏁 Your Tundra's V8. Finally Breathing. The 2012-2019 Tundra 4.6L is a proven workhorse. It tows, hauls, and goes where you need it. But that factory air intake system — a molded plastic box with a tiny paper filter — was designed for one thing: keeping costs down. It flows like a garden hose. Flashark's cold air intake converts your Tundra from choking to breathing: → 101mm smooth-bore aluminum tubing (massive flow capacity for a V8) → Oversized dry cotton filter with nearly 2x the surface area of stock → Intake temps 20-30°F cooler vs. stock airbox under load → Noticeably stronger mid-range pull → No tune required — factory ECU adapts → Direct bolt-on — no cutting or drilling Tow harder. Haul more. Sounds better.

The factory intake was sized for emissions, not performance — it chokes your engine at peak load. Flashark's 101mm mandrel-bent aluminum tubing is the right tool for the job: • Largest diameter available for this engine platform • No flow-restricting bends • Smoother transitions at every junction • MAF signal stays clean — no CEL → More air = more power, especially under towing loads 2️⃣ DRY FILTER — BUILT FOR WORK TRUCKS The Tundra isn't a garage queen. It goes to job sites, trails, and dusty highways. Flashark's dry cotton media filter: • No oil to collect dirt and dust • Wash and reuse — no re-oiling • 6.5" XL cone = massive surface area • Maintains airflow even when dirty • Lasts the life of your truck Truck guys don't want to mess with oiled filters. We get it. 3️⃣ HEAT SHIELD — COLD AIR, NOT GRILLE AIR The engine bay of a full-size truck runs hot — especially when towing on a hot day. Flashark's heat shield enclosure: • Seals the filter from engine bay heat • Draws cold air from the grille opening • Maintains cooler intake temps even under sustained heavy load • Full enclosure keeps out road debris The filter stays cool when you're working the truck the hardest. 4️⃣ NO TUNE. NO PROBLEMS. The 1UR-FE is a proven, reliable engine. Flashark's MAF housing is precision- machined to match your factory ECU's expected airflow profile. → No check engine light → No trip to the tuner → No warranty concerns → Just bolt it on and drive 5️⃣ BOLT-ON IN 90 MINUTES Designed specifically for the 2012-2019 Tundra 4.6L.
