The K&N 57S-8750 is a 57i Generation II induction kit that replaces the factory air path with a black, high-density cross-linked polyethylene intake tube and a red cotton gauze filter. The manufacturer says the tube is non-metallic and rotationally molded, which it links to lower intake air temperatures and less intake noise than a metal tube. The kit is designed to remove the restriction between the filter and the engine, so it targets the factory housing as well as the element.
Weigh this kit against a cheaper drop-in filter by looking at the manufacturer's estimated gain of 11 HP at 4200 RPM and a washable filter the manufacturer rates for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings under normal conditions. Confirm fitment before ordering. The manufacturer lists this kit for 2.8L L4 diesel Toyota Hilux applications from 2015 to 2022, but published listings vary on engine displacement and model years, so verify your engine and year with the manufacturer. The kit is not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles. Enthusiasts searching for a Hilux 2.8 diesel cold air intake, a 57S-8750 intake, or a K&N 57i roto-mold tube will find this kit under those terms.

No. The manufacturer states the kit is not legal for sale or use in California on any pollution-controlled motor vehicle.
The manufacturer says the kit lasts up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions. The filter is washable and reusable.
According to the manufacturer, the kit includes three stainless steel clamps and one coupler. The replacement filter listed for this kit is the K&N RU-2815.
The manufacturer describes installation as usually taking 60 minutes or less and publishes an installation instruction sheet for this kit. Because the kit replaces the entire factory intake path, expect to remove the factory air box and tubing before fitting the new tube. Follow the instruction sheet for routing and clamp placement, and use the three included stainless clamps and the coupler. The specific tool list was not confirmed during research, so check the instruction sheet before starting.
