kn drop in? - Toyota Yaris Forums

superfly78209 · 12-01-2008, 02:51 PM

I know that the oil on the filter can clog the maf.. but is there another drop in filter that doesn't have to be oiled and just cleaned? or is there a good cai or sri that doesn't have a filter that's hard to remove from the intake and cleaned? Preferebly a filter that will last for many miles.. and not have to be cleaned a whole lot.. and a filter that isn't oiled. Thanks

bleh, ive run k&n drop-in and cone filters in my cars for years....never had any problems w/ oiled filters....

superfly78209 · 12-01-2008, 02:53 PM

here's simotas http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI....m=380082081709

but it has to be oiled and its much more expensive then the kn.

well.. i have too. and i haven't either.. did you notice any mpg gains.. im guessing its pretty impossible to feel a more responsive engine or anything?

superfly78209 · 12-01-2008, 02:55 PM

here's a trd one..

are all of these going to let in just a little bit more dirt than a stock paper filter?

+1 on oiled filters. I've used K&N drop-ins for many years.

^^Yeah +2 on that , i've also used k&n filters for years and many different cars and many styles of intake i.e short ram, cold air , drop in filter and never had a problem with my maf . Just don't over oil the filter after you clean it and your maf will be ok .
If you want something differnt , thats a dry element drop-in filter i've seen
Blitz for about $50
C-one for about $90
and Trd drop in is about $110

forgot to add i'm running a k&n drop-in with the bottom hacked of the airbox and it works killer for me and only cost $28(pepboy had a sale on k&n's)

superfly78209 · 12-01-2008, 11:29 PM

What do you think.. kn vs. afe (or unoiled filter) which one will collect particles better? and does anyone know how often afe has to be cleaned? Thanks

Also when you hacked the airbox.. did it help a lot?

Thirty-Nine · 12-02-2008, 12:47 AM

I've run K&N filters in every one of my vehicles, and have never had a problem.

I belive that k&n claims their filter to flow the most cfm's and also filter the most. The oil on the filter will also catch more crap . Its really a personal prefrence on "wet" or "dry" filters imo. Yes hacking the bottom of the airbox helped tons , it sounds just like an short ram intake now. A lot of sucking sound just reving it and under wot it really screams .I gained about 2 mpg's also, the best/cheapest modd i've done so far and it looks all stock too.

superfly78209 · 12-02-2008, 02:04 AM

so the consensus is.. that the kn filter will filter better than a dry air filter such as the afe? Thanks

superfly78209 · 12-02-2008, 02:05 AM

Also, can I see a pict on how you hacked your airbox? like which sides? Thanks

superfly78209 · 12-02-2008, 02:05 AM

and how big?

kargoboy · 12-02-2008, 01:44 PM

You guys that like or run drop-ins...I'll have the Simota drop-ins available in a few days.
Probably less that $30.00 shipped. Run dry or oiled.

superfly78209 · 12-02-2008, 02:33 PM

So, do dry filters filter better or worse than oiled filters? Thanks for the responses.

neither is better or worse, really

lots of it is conjecture and hearsay

it just seems to me that some people on this forum are AFRAID of oiled filters thinking that theyll screw up their mass airflow sensor....which really wouldnt be the case....

superfly78209 · 12-02-2008, 03:38 PM

so I guess the main difference.. is that the oiled filters dont have to be cleaned for many more miles than the dry ones.. I guess the dry ones have to be cleaned every 3k? and they both filter about the same?
