Drop in!!
You have a diesel engine, hence... you can drive thru floods and such. If you put a cone you'll risk water getting sucked into the intake.

Well to answer the first question.... It works great. You can feel the difference.
I bought mines online and shipped it in. Car boutique and some other places locally have them as well.

K&N filters aren't recommended for offroad conditions or in dry/dusty conditions.

have one in my brother's hilux as well, made a big difference, then we put a 3" exhaust and chiptorque chip and let me tell you it moves really quickly now. According to chip torque with the 3" exhaust, k&n, and chip which increases stock boost by 2 psi, you get 18% horsepower at the wheels so that leaves the horsepower going from 132 to 158 at the wheels.
Trust me its a more than just noticable difference.
Sorry for straying off topic

of what the exhaust. Because other than that everything else is pretty covert. Actually as i think about it, the exhaust it kinda covert too, no big set of chrome or anything.
But NE Wayz i go do that for you.
You can't be playing with your performance without knowing where you are at so you need one of these:
It eh make sense putting a chip if your engine eh breathing so you need one ah these(not just sticker, but i wasn't feeling to open the airbox and thing):
Here is a pic of the Boost Guage tap into the turbo Up-Pipe
Now for the Exhaust from the turbo go right back:
A big free flow barrel cuz this thing was rell loud(my father en know all these mods happen, he thinks that a mileage increasing air filter is all that we put in)
was trying to show the pipe going directly into the engine bay but they en have no light up in here;
Was going to get some more pics, but i en have time to get to the chip and thing. so i go leave that for a next time. I had some other pics of the Mandrel Bends but they en come out so good.

^^^^ the exhaust is kinda a silent killer, it definately helps in the power output, raced a stock hilux the day after installation a new TCl one and he collect a dred cut a$$ with just the exhaust. I can only imagine now what kinda damage we could do. Because that was before the 2nd K&N, CHIP. And those make big differences.
But the best thing about the hilux is now you can overtake nicely and it doesn't feel like a bedford pulling alongside a ferrari. I am really impressed at the power this thing lashes out boi, i rell impressed.
