K&N drop in air filters..............will you? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NYC BRZ · 06-10-2012, 03:40 PM

The correct part number is 33-2300. Same as 05-06 TC. I just checked K&Ns website.

A lot of people have been saying 33-2252 but thats incorrect. Just ordered mine off Amazon for $37+ shipping!

Confirmed in Toyota's ordering system as well: TC & FR-S ... Same part number.
Thanks Adam at Stamford Toyota

Mine too. I don't think the 2mm difference in height will make any noticeable difference

Lol ok as long as everyone's cars are breathing right. Just passing on what I found. I had no intentions of sounding smug my bad

TRD air filters = K&N air filters.

You know for a fact that the TRD air filters are simply rebadged K&N filters? Or are you just guessing?

I have personally used and seen both TRD and K&N filters on the same vehicle. And the filters are definitely different.

Not always, aFe has also made some TRD stuff for the Tacoma. The aftermarket bids on TRD jobs and they use multiple vendors.

eriktherod · 06-11-2012, 12:27 PM

The TRD one looks very, very similar to the K&N one. If anything, I love how the TRD one has a red outline around it, matches Firestorm very well! And yes, you can see it slightly around where the airbox closes up.

colHolm · 06-11-2012, 12:30 PM

I don't doubt several vendors have provided air filters in the past, but to the best of my knowledge all the more recent TRD air filters (standalone and the ones for their intakes) have been manufactured by K&N.

Keith is correct, I can confirm that above about aFe / TRD ^

A little tech info for you guys...
Funny thing those AFM (air flow meters)... sometimes a filter can improve performance on those cars vs. no filter. You must be asking- How?

There is a difference: Eliminating restriction of the filter vs. no filter isn't complete / relevant data... We must look further.

On some cars, those with AFM especially close to the filter element, removing the filter, changing the way the air moves over the sensor element can cause turbulence over the sensor- and cause problems when it sends this erroneous data to the ECU.
Perrin Jeff posted up some very nice information on this phenomenon in their Intake Thread, thats a good read for those not frillier with intakes on late model cars.

Now I do not know for a fact that this happens on the FT86, perhaps only the few that have back-to-back dyno'ed the cars and data logged do... Jeff might be able to pop in and tell us that this phenomenon was observed, or that it was in fact not relevant in this case and the stock OE filter element was just that good.
Perrin are also using a Dynopack dyno (One of my favorites for this type of work). These are extremely accurate and would be very good to show some gains, even if in the 3-5 WHP variety as they are very sensitive if they are used under closely controlled conditions.

Installed my k&n filter, took around 10 minutes to do. Easy peasy
