Looking into the K&N filter, not the cold air, but was wondering what filter options are out there and what the community recommends?

What Engine Air Filter Are You Running?

Nice, I didn't know they made drop in filters. What do you like about them? Any major difference from K&N? Looks like you can wash the AFE which is a big selling point to me.

Dang that thing looks bad ass. With off roading my fear would be all the dust that can get in the engine. Is this cold air intake ok for frequent dirt travel?K and N blackhawk , maybe interested to sell perhaps dont know yet

Very, no dust wont get in unless you take the filter off. Like any other setup , just like any k and n washable and reusable

As long as you don't over oil it, it's not a problem. Did it a few times on my subaru, just get some maf cleaner, remove the maf spray it and reinstall. another tip for if you over oil it, and if you have the time, wrap it in some rags (stuff some rags in it if its a cone) and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
anyways are there any power gains with these filters or are they just noise makers ?

Power gains no if so very very minor , the engine will only take in what it needs , cooler air may help more vs warmer air Etc... but again I doubt you get a 5-15hp gain as they state on the boxes

You can also remove the factory airbox resonator if you want some noise with a factory setup

There also a really good choice for Tacoma’s and in my opinion a bit nicer looking inside the engine bay ?

I've used K&N filters for 44 years and almost half a million miles and have never had trouble with or had to replace my MAF sensor. The only times this happens is if your engine is suffering from extreme blowby OR you don't know how to correctly oil the filter.

Has anyone used the Injen intake? It has a vent that takes air right where the radiator is. Just not sure how I like that with potentially taking in dust if you're in a group. Although I am usually out solo. The SB is looks great and offers the closed box which is my biggest want.
