Does anyone have experience with this type of air filter, which costs $38-45? Is the extra price worth it? Is there a noticeable improvement in power as advertised?

 

I personally think it's all in the persons head if they say they can feel the difference...

 

You talking about the TRD one K&N makes? Either way, the overall only good reason to get it is because you can just clean it out yourself instead of buying a new paper one for I think around $15 every however many months. In other words you'll save money over the long run, but probably no performance.

 

aFe actually makes the TRD filter, not K&N.

I just received my aFe Dry Flow S filter for my xB (direct drop in). The construction is top quality and since it is the dry model, no oiling needed when cleaning. Just tap the debris out, and then soak and agitate in a simple cleaning solution. Let dry and good to go!

I had the TRD filter but returned it after a day or so. I didn't like risk of having an oiled filter and the risk of it messing with the MAF sensor. So the pro dry is the perfect solution.

No comments yet on how it performs as I just put it in today, but the construction of the filter is amazing. Pure quality!

Really? I never even new aFe was a company until I started looking for an intake a few months ago.

 

Decided to get the K&N 33-2211 filter (no oil), primarily because it's supposed to last the life of the car. Let's see if there is an improvement in performance.

 

Blitz also makes a drop in non-oiled filter filter as well.

You might get a little ummph out of it but nothing crazy.And as stated its def worth your time to get a cleanable filter instead of allways buying one.

 

Thanks. That's what I figured.
