Presumably Toyota fitted a paper air filter because it's cheap and easy to replace, but what have you guys fitted?
I don't want a new intake, just a better filter, but is there really any benefit?
Most performance options appear to be layers of different grades of sponge. Even my lawnmower has a sponge filter and this is easy to clean rather than replace. Some sponge filters seem to need oil, some don't. I think I would rather avoid oil if it's going to mess with the sensors. Are there any warranty issues if you fit a 'better' filter. Would I hear any more induction noise over the sound of a non-resonated exhaust, and would I really notice tiny gains in bhp or torque?
