Which Air Filter Will You Use?
I've been searching the forums and only found a K&N vs TRD thread but I was wondering which of all of the drop in air filter options that are out there (OEM, M7, Perrin, TRD etc..) will you use and why? Also how often do you like to change them? Thanks!

Using Apexi. It's perfect. Dry, cleanable, and good price.

I choose Perrin's drop-in filter. They made a good point about the thickness of a K&N or a gauze filter, and after looking into how a foam filter worked, it seemed like the best choice to me. And its re-usable.

HKS, APEXi, aFe, and Perrin are popular and all are good filters.

FT86SpeedFactory did a dyno showing HKS, aFe, K&N and some other one. I just ordered the aFe dry filter, can't wait to install tomorrow!!

I'll be sticking to the stock until its dirty enough to warrant a change. By then I hope some people have some stock vs aftermarket oil lab results as well
