The Dynamic Air Scoop (D.A.S.) is a complete upgrade from the factory intake scoop on the Tacoma, engineered to dramatically boost airflow to the intake system through the truck’s front air inlet. By delivering a larger, consistent stream of cool air into the intake, the D.A.S. helps lower intake air temperatures. Cooler air means denser oxygen, which leads to more power—especially for Toyota’s turbocharged 2.4L engines.Despite fitting seamlessly into the engine bay, every dimension of the D.A.S. has been meticulously redesigned for optimal airflow. The inlet that channels air directly into the intake system is twice the size of the factory version, allowing for a much greater volume of air. Smooth transitions throughout the scoop ensure air moves with minimal resistance, resulting in enhanced performance over stock. The D.A.S. also comes equipped with a serviceable foam pre-filter that effectively blocks dirt and debris from entering the intake without restricting airflow through the enlarged inlets. Specifically designed for harsh, dusty environments, this aFe POWER pre-filter is perfect for Tacomas that tackle off-road adventures. Secured with clips, the foam filter can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement, ensuring your intake system remains protected and efficient. This D.A.S. is constructed from high-quality cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) that is heat soak resistant and extremely durable. Fitting directly into your aFe POWER intake housing, the D.A.S. is secured to the vehicle using factory style hardware. No cutting or drilling is required.
