So wanting to get some ideas.  From what I am reading is that the 2000 4.7L is a non VVT-I, giving it less horsepower.  I had my 2006 that was just incredible with power, loved it.  Sold it, cause I had a kid, so needed room for his carseat.  So I have been hearing about people who throw on a K&N air filter and a Flowmaster exhaust, and have seen a little difference.  My question is, Since the K&N filter needs oiling, isn't that gonna be problematic down the road?  Second, does the Flowmaster help to where I'd notice it?  All my trucks in the past have had one on them, but they were on when I purchased them. :driving:

I'd think just a muffler wouldn't do a whole lot.  Cat back would likely be your best budget bet.  K&N filters are great, but you do have to oil them correctly and not over-oil.

Just my opinion, but I think mufflers & air filters are -- for most of us -- simply an impression of better power, for a couple reasons. There's a different (louder) sound, and you expect an improvement for the money you spent. Not to say a properly engineered system wouldn't yield a small benefit. I just wouldn't expect very much, or very often.   :twocents:

I spent some money on our 2005 4Runner.  We built the motor up to handle the TRD supercharger, Cat Back Exhaust, Transmission Shift Kit, Making obviously a huge difference.  I mainly use my tundra for work, but wouldn't mind some more power.  I think a proper cat back would help good, noticed a difference on my 4Runner when I had done it.  Typical basic Exhaust change wouldn't give much of a difference I figured.  I also hear the exhaust manifolds on the tundras are pretty efficient flow already, and putting street legal headers isn't really worth it.

Been gone a while but I'm back.  Got busy with work, family, and cars.   Swapped a motor in my buddy's 2002 tacoma,  that was simple compared to the pain in the rear 2004 f-150.  That was a big piece of junk.  Just Fords in general are a pain to work on.  I'll stick to Yotas.  Got my truck some nice wheels off a 2016 Tacoma, and some new Hankook All terrains.  Just hit the snow and was pretty impressed how well it did compared to my cousins trucks.  One has a 2015 4 door Ram power wagon, another a diesel 4 door Ram, another a gas 2016 4 door ram.  They were too heavy and sank deep, while I passed them right up.  My trucks pretty much stock too. :driving:
