Better question, fanboi

If they're known for not filtering dust as well as paper, under your self-admitted EXTREMELY dusty conditions, so bad that filter won't make it 1 month w/o needing to be cleaned, why use the inferior filter for the job?

And if they're the greatest, why not install them in every vehicle? Why in maybe less than .005% of the Toyotas being sold?
