OEM.
Buuut if I had to pick an aftermarket filter, I'd go Cosworth or A'PEXi. |

Cosworth for me. Definitely better throttle response than stock.

What ever you want, what ever your wallet thinks is best. They all perform the same.
Also depends how much of a germaphobe you are when its time to cleaning the filter. If you don't want to clean it, get the dry ones.

Like the two posters earlier in the thread, I can offer a third recommendation for the Cosworth drop-in filter. I was initially suspect of any benefit, but now I'm a believer - once installed, the engine revved more freely, had noticeably better throttle response, and sounded better, too. Is it a game changer? No, of course not - but it was a nice improvement for less than $50. Easily recommended.

Since the difference power wise between those two is so minimal personally I would go with the Perrin because it looks cooler.

Any performance drop in filter would do the same exact thing. It would sound nice, rev freely, all butt dynos will be the same.
I went with K&N cause 1. It was $45 at Walmart 2. It's pretty much a midget TRD clone. 3. I have K&N filters on my MR2 Turbo with zero problems over the last 10 years. But, it really was a coin flip from getting the Apex or other dry filters.

I went with the AFE pro dry S filter, mainly because I'm not a fan of oiled filters on MAF cars, the dry filters have better filtration, and I've had good luck with their products in the past.
