Tacoma Sxth Element Intake: 30-Min Install with Killer Turbo Whoosh

Two weeks back, I added a Stillen intake to my car, and I can't lie, I didn't have the best of experiences. The check engine light kept turning on with lots of error codes, such as the ones shared in the pictures below. I had to check each link twice, making sure all was set up right, but no luck. Don't think I'd advise anyone to get this intake if you're thinking about getting one. Not to be rude, but it was a lot of trouble. On the bright side, though, a few days after putting it in and I noticed the troubles, I called Stillen's help team. I must say, they were super kind and fast to answer. They said sorry for the trouble and wanted to fix it by giving me their Offroad cat-back exhaust in its place. They will send it next week, so I hope it fixes stuff and makes up for my troubles. .

I have always loved my truck's turbo noises, so I picked the Sxth Element Intake for my Tacoma.

It's one of the simplest intake I've ever put in. It took less than 30 minutes, plus cleanup included.

The truck made a few sound clips with the windows up. It's really loud, especially the seat next to the driver.

I like the whoosh sound tho, it completely changes how it feels to drive.
