New Cabin Air Filter
I may be telling everyone something they already know, but i didn't see it anywhere on here, but i did notice a lot of people usually generic air filters they cut from home depot. Well Napa autoparts has the air filter made specifically for the scion tc on the shelf. Kinda weird that Napa has the part but Toyota doesn't.....strange
Toyota doesnt recommend running a filter in the tC, even though there is a tray for it. Apparently it restricts the airflow enough that the AC doesnt do as good of a job. I know some do run them (There is a toyota one from the dealer that fits) and say they have had no issue. But the websorber ones allow more airflow, so no worry about that part... and if you figure up how many you can get from one filter, they run you a couple of bucks a peice, as opposed to much more for an oem filter.
yeah i've already bought it and installed it. wasn't sure if people were still buying house filters and cutting em, but yeah, i bought mine from napa. haven't noticed any restriction yet
