Good air filter options?

[CyFi6]

Hello all, i recently did a 7mgte swap on my supra and i am likeing the new engine! I ran a cheap cone filter for a few days before i got my stock airbox setup, and i really like the factory filtering ability, as i know a lot of aftermarket filters are known for not filtering too well, but all the sound from the turbo is now gone! I was wondering if there are any quality performance filters that will bring the turbo sound back, while still properly cleaning the air.

AEM dryflow, and Apexi are two of my favorites. Both filter very well. Stay away from K&N.

My vote would goto Apex'i

Although i myself am running a HKS Intake with a a 3 layer dry element.

I also vote for apexi, I like the turbo sounds that come from it

I haven't run a turbo with an Apexi filter, but even on my NA, there is an appreciable sound difference with the Apexi vs. the stock airbox.

Stay away from K&N.

Just wondering, Why exactly?

Just wondering, Why exactly?

Because they are a horrible at filtering and they use oil...our afm is very sensitive to contamination which cannot be cleaned!

K&N use oil. It's a wet filter. That oil along with small dirt and debris particles flow through the filter and into the AFM, which uses a mirror and optical measurement which need to stay VERY clean.

Oil/dirt/debris on mirror makes for poor measurements and that mirror is not exactly something you can windex back to "new" condition.

Apexi +100 like every on else has said.

Read this link to find out why, it was a good test and good info.

What if I have a K&N dry filter?
Would it still be bad cause of the filtering?

so if I run the power intake for 140 from apexi on a N/a SUPRA, could I do that een though it is for a turbo model

+1 more for Apexi. Just get it. :naughty:

The oil thing didnt even cross my mind.........Not sure why because i know i knew that, What supra owner with an AFM could forget? :: hommer ::

AEM Dry flow or AMS Oil filters. Yes AMS Oil makes an intake filter.

 

[giterboosted]

I vote dryflow

i dont know why you guys are getting so amped up against k&n. they filter just fine, and the only oil issue in the afm i've ever heard of is when people over oil it. don't have the afm any more, but i did for nearly 9 yrs and never a problem.

I use the generic pep boys Spectre filters and they have been great so far lol Just a basic cotton/steel mesh filter that looks nice and has always seemed to work for every vehicle I have. As far as filtration capability, I do not know the quality difference between this and any brand names...
