The location of the intake on these cars means they vacuum up way more crap than "normal" cars so the filter plugs up pretty quick.

So a normal air filter is $22 online and TRD is $73 online
So far you’ve saved $191 by going aftermarket.
Another thing to consider is replacing the cabin air filter with a K&N reusable filter. OEM is $26 online and aftermarket is $50. I’ve cleaned mine 5 times already so I’ve saved $80 and don’t have to deal with crappy cotton filters. My fish tank and house have carbon filters, but my car can’t? Yeah right time to go aftermarket.
