Toyota Tundra

At Stillen, we’re not just about selling aftermarket performance parts; we’re about living the lifestyle. That’s why when the opportunity arose to be part of the Tundras to Sedona: Parker Edition event, we jumped on it with both hands on the wheel. This annual gathering of Tundra enthusiasts is a celebration of community, adventure, and of course, trucks.

Even though it was our first year sponsoring the event, it certainly won’t be our last. Being surrounded by fellow enthusiasts and getting to hit the trails together was an unforgettable experience. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do.

But it wasn’t all about socializing and scenic drives. We took advantage of the rugged terrain to put some of our newest products to the test. Our 2018 Toyota Tundra served as the perfect canvas for showcasing our latest innovations.

STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust for the Toyota Tundra at Tundras to Sedona Parker Edition Event 2024

First up, our new cat-back exhaust system for the second-generation Tundra. Crafted with precision engineering and designed to deliver enhanced performance and that signature Stillen sound, it proved to be a hit both on and off the road. Even with towing a trailer and climbing hills, the exhaust never droned or got loud enough to disturb the cabin. However, it makes an awesome roar at cold start and lets the V8 be heard at wide-open throttle. Keep an eye out for a shorter version for our most hardcore off-road oriented customers.

Then there’s our Carbon Fiber hood, a stylish and functional addition that adds a touch of aggression to the Tundra’s already bold aesthetic. Paired with Stillen’s Slotted rotors, it’s a combination that’s as eye-catching as it is performance-driven.

Of course, no off-road adventure would be complete without the right gear. Our new prototype desert-style tube front bumper not only adds protection but also enhances the Tundra’s off-road capabilities, allowing it to conquer even the toughest trails with ease.

With over 1,000 miles of testing under our belt just on this trip alone, we can confidently say that our products are built to perform, whether you’re cruising down the highway or tackling rugged terrain. And to share the love with our fellow enthusiasts, we even raffled off a set of our drilled and slotted performance rotors and pads to one lucky winner.

As we pack up and head home from Parker, we’re filled with gratitude for the opportunity to be part of such an incredible event. We’re already counting down the days until next year’s Tundra’s to Sedona, and we can’t wait to see where the road takes us next. Until then, keep on trucking, and remember – adventure awaits with Stillen by your side.

In the realm of car enthusiasts and performance upgrades, few modifications hold as much significance as air intakes. These components play a pivotal role in enhancing engine performance by optimizing the flow of air into the combustion chamber. If you’re looking to boost your vehicle’s power and efficiency, understanding the different types of air intakes and their benefits is essential.

Why Upgrade Your Air Intake?

Before delving into the intricacies of air intake options, let’s highlight why upgrading your stock air intake system is crucial for maximizing performance:

  1. Improved Airflow: Stock air intake systems are designed with compromises to meet various requirements. Aftermarket air intakes offer larger filter surfaces and smoother airflow pathways, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently.
  2. Enhanced Filtration: Upgraded air filters, whether oil or dry filters, provide better filtration capabilities compared to stock filters. This ensures that only clean air enters the engine, reducing the risk of debris and contaminants causing damage.
  3. Increased Power: By optimizing air intake, your engine can generate more power. Cold air intakes, in particular, draw cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, resulting in improved combustion and higher horsepower and torque figures.
  4. Customization Options: Aftermarket air intakes come in various styles and designs, allowing you to personalize your vehicle while also enhancing performance.
Dry / Oil / Oiled STILLEN Air Filter

Oiled Versus Dry

When it comes to air filters, two primary options dominate the market: oil filters and dry filters. Here’s a brief overview of each:

Oil / Oiled STILLEN Air Filter

Advantages of Oiled Filters:

  1. Water Resistance: The oil coating acts as a barrier to prevent water from entering the filter material or intake tube, making them ideal for high humidity or wet environments.
  2. Requires Periodic Re-Oiling: Ensures optimal performance and longevity of the filter, adding an extra step to maintenance but maintaining peak efficiency.
  3. Optimal Airflow: Provides slightly better airflow compared to dry filters.
Dry STILLEN Air Filter

Advantages of Dry Filters:

  1. No Oiling Required: Simplifies maintenance and eliminates the risk of over-oiling, which can damage the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
  2. Multiple Layers of Filtering Material: Utilizes multiple layers of filtering material for superior filtration efficiency, capturing even smaller particles and ensuring cleaner airflow to the engine.
  3. Effective Contaminant Trapping: Traps contaminants while maintaining excellent airflow for engine protection without sacrificing performance.

When choosing between a dry or oiled filter for your cold air intake, consider the driving conditions and your personal preferences. Oiled filters excel in wet environments and require periodic re-oiling for optimal performance and longevity, while dry filters are better suited for dry or dusty conditions and offer simplified maintenance. Ultimately, both types offer benefits that can enhance your vehicle’s performance and driving experience.

Choosing the Right Air Intake

Now that you understand the importance of air intakes let’s explore the different types available:

  1. Short Ram Intakes: Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a balance between performance and affordability, short ram intakes offer easy installation and increased airflow compared to stock systems. They provide a noticeable improvement in engine response and power output.
  2. Long Tube/Cold Air Intakes: For those prioritizing maximum performance gains, long tube or cold air intakes are the way to go. These intakes draw cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, resulting in significant horsepower and torque increases. While installation may be more complex, the performance benefits justify the effort and cost.

Upgrading your car’s air intake system is a surefire way to unlock its full potential on the road or track. Whether you opt for a short ram intake for a practical upgrade or invest in a long tube or cold air intake for maximum performance gains, the benefits are undeniable. Choose wisely based on your budget, performance goals, and installation preferences, and enjoy the exhilarating driving experience that follows. For further assistance in selecting the right air intake for your vehicle, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of experts at STILLEN. We’re here to help you make informed decisions and elevate your driving experience to new heights.

Hypertech’s expanded the applications for their very popular and customer-rave-reviewed Hypertech Interceptor Tuner. The vastly successful Hypertech Interceptor Tuner has been gaining power, performance and fuel efficiency for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram drivers for a few months and now Toyota and Lexus drivers can get the very same tuner. Hypertech’s Interceptor Tuner does almost everything for your vehicle’s performance so once you plug the Hypertech Interceptor Tuner in and set the tuning how you want, you’ll notice a huge difference in the power and response of your vehicle.

With settings for you to have the option of putting in regular, or premium gas at the pump you just set the Hypertech Interceptor Tuner to know which you’re running and it does the rest. Rams with the 5.7L Hemi see 33HP and 40ft/lbs torque gained and whether you’re driving that big working truck, or even cruising luxuriously in a Lexus LX570, you’re going to see an immediate difference in the engine response the first time you touch the accelerator.

Customer tested and proven to grant the ability to get off the line faster, and maintain a regular cruising speed more efficiently, the difference is that once you can resist the urge to floor it at every stop light, you’re even going to have noticeably higher MPG, with gains between 1-2mpg, especially with maintained speed and light acceleration driving.  Hypertech’s Interceptor Tuner is a non-ECU access device and has been developed to provide some of the same benefits and vehicle responses as the more expensive Programmers which are similar, quite a bit more expensive, and not available on the applications the Interceptor is.
