I ask because it's obvious that the parts supplied from Japan are going to dry up for a while. I like the Toyota OE filters and that's all I use on my car, but if someone knows of an air filter with the quality of the OE part that would be a suitable replacement, I'd like to know now before I need one. I know the oil filters are made in Thailand, so those will not be going anywhere.

Thanks

 

K&N makes a drop-in filter for the stock air box, and it's re-useable, just a quick wash and oil. I've had good luck with them before on other applications for OEM (not cone filter, stock airbox). Reoil is the key to long life, not sure any dry-fit until AEM decides to make OEM replacements.

Pretty much any air filter you buy is gonna be fine. The original was not made by Toyota anyway, just like the oil filter. We throw chinese made ones on the xA fleet and never have any problems.

 

Call the parts guys at Longo Toyota and buy a couple if you are worrried about that. I am sure that Toyota will come up with a supplier in pretty short order. The K&N is always a good idea, I went with the TRD cold air setup, like the K&N I will clean and oil the cone filter in July, on all my cars.

 

doesnt trd make a drop in filter?

 

K&N, they're easier to clean and last longer

 

I have a Borla filter if you would like to buy it. It's a reusable one too, like the k&n. I'll sell it to you cheap. Pm me if you're interested.

 

It's made for Borla by K&N.

 

Ok. I didnt know I just got it with my exhaust. Never used

 

Just put a drop-in K&N Air Filter.
WOW! My car is FUN TO DRIVE, again!
