Air filter for stock box : K&N or Perrins?
 

Just curious which one is better or what do you guys prefer? K&N or Perrins air filters for the stock box.

Whatever fit your budget

i got the K&N but my friend gave me the Perrins so debating should i swap it out.

OEM.

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

TRD worked for me : )

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.

Apexi nuff said.

So sitting inside the OEM air box, the Perrin drop in filter looks better than other filters? Do you have X-Ray vision? :iono:

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.

are people dumb with it comes to air filters? the obvious choice is k&n, its a LIFETIME filter, never have to spend another 50 bucks for LIFETIME

Many of them are lifetime, only paper ones really deteriorate.

Dry filters for MAF cars are my preference. To me, it doesn't make sense to buy an oiled filter when the oil will slowly accumulate on the MAF and lower octane ratings if oiled improperly, and not maintained. The dry filters don't have an opportunity to make that mistake.

If I lived in a dusty part of the country ....... I would opt for a "paper" filter ....... if I lived in a not so dusty climate ...... I reckon an "lightly oiled" filter would be OK.

Makes sense. Is there one you would recommend?

TRD filter. The dealer likes OEM aftermarket parts.

he must have something like this

K&N here, but only because I have used so many of them through the years.

I miss having my Weapon R intake, it looked a lot better (and sounded better) than a drop-in and silicone tube. Ah well, it didn't get along with Unichip. That intake there looks pretty awesome

If that was true, Toytoa would have gone with a dry filter on their TRD air filter. But they didn't, they chose an oiled filter.

Then again.... A person has to go full retard to over oil a filter. Or never check a dirty dry filter. Both neglence of filters end up the same result.

Then again how much of a chore is it to clean the MAF? Not much. The only trouble is getting it off the intake.

That was TRD USA's decision. TRD Japan's filter is dry.
