Description
Silicone air intake hose kit for the 2016–2020 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L, engineered to provide reliable intake routing and consistent service life for OEM and aftermarket intake assemblies.
This Mishimoto Silicone Air Intake Hose Kit Red 16-20 Tacoma3.5L is supplied by Mishimoto, a brand recognized for motorsports-grade cooling and intake components. The kit is intended to replace factory rubber hoses with molded silicone components that retain shape and connection integrity under normal vehicle operation.
Key functional attributes and why they matter:
- Molded silicone construction — preserves hose geometry and connection fit for consistent airflow paths and reduced risk of collapse or deformation over time.
- Vehicle-specific fitment — matched to the 2016–2020 Tacoma 3.5L layout to ensure correct routing and simplified installation without extensive modification.
- OEM-replacement form — designed to interface with existing intake hardware and clamps for a direct-fit installation process.
- High-visibility red finish — provides a durable, serviceable appearance for engine bays where component access and inspection are routine.
Performance and service considerations:
- Maintains consistent intake geometry to support stable airflow characteristics across typical operating conditions.
- Durable materials reduce long-term maintenance compared with aged or cracked factory hoses.
- Direct-fit design simplifies replacement during routine service or intake system upgrades.
