i know alot of people have the deckplate mod. welll so do i but i was wondering. wouldnt the resenators or those black boxes restrict the air from getting in? i think there was a thread about this but i wanted to know if a cold air intake with accell cool blue filter would be better? i have the amsoil filter to but i really dont like the resenators or those boxes. thanks in advance

just get that junk out of the engine bay.
seriously, it makes it look alot cleaner in there, and easier to work on, with only a single pipe to pull out.
if you have not done this yet, look around on the internet and/or parts houses;
(AutoZone in my area) carries a billet "piecemeal" system that you can buy and build your own custom intake, as it has swiveling pipes, different diameters, and 45-75degree pre-fabbed, or straight sections.
I purchased an Injen, and although I do like it, it was $200.
I think it was A1C? or AEM? that had a similar unit that I described from AutoZone, and even if purchasing all the components to build a cold air intake snorkel, your still under 2 bills.
hope this helps,
if more info needed, PM me,

Hey...sounds like you know what you're talking about with this ... I have been wanting to add a little "punch" to my 22RE on a 2-wheel drive 94, Pickup (last year before they called 'em Tacoma). I have seen lots of billet style units on E-bay and the like for reasonalbe $$$$$..but am afraid that I 'll not get the instructions to do it properly. My engine compartment is hilarious...the air intake box is way over on driver's side (with a metal "flapper plate" built in to the top of the air horn {looks like it plugs in via a pretty high-wire-count electrical connector})....frm there the air duct is routed directly over top of the radiator and A/C condenser & over to the passengers side where it goes into manifold ----and HOLY COW is there a ton of vacuum lines on intake.
I really want to clean this up.
What are my chances of getting through this without messing something up bad??
