2 questions RE: K&N air filter and Toms tails - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

K&N:

So I owned a 2015 FRS and just picked up my 2017 86, I had a K&N drop-in in my 2015 took it out to put in my new car, the K&N site lists the same part number for the 2017, anyone else have a problem with the fitment? Seems like the filter is a little to long for the 2017 air box.

Toms:

If I replace the stock 2017 Tails with the Toms do I need to replace the relay as well since the 2017 tails are already LED? Thoughts? Just seems to me that I shouldn't have to, I guess either way I would know just by trying, if they blink to fast put in the Toms relay, right?

1. The air intake differs between 2015 and 2017 model years. The part number may only be correct for the 2017 automatic which uses the "black-top" engine from previous model years with very slight changes. For the "red-top," the air intake is completely different.

2. Wouldn't hurt to try.

I believe the 2017 MT has a different air filter. I recently bought one for my 2013 and there was a note during checkout that they were different for 2017 MT.

MT will not fit. AT is the same and will.
I would just put in the proper relay for the Toms and not risk blowing anything. It isn't like it is hard to do.

Only one I found that would fit. Appears to be same or better quality as K&N.

Yeah I ended up ordering this last night along with the Perrin intake hose, both parts changed.
