Napa air filters
My nearest parts store ia a "Napa" and I'm not a big fan of there products but the next nearest one (Auto Zone)is 30 miles and the Toyota dealer is 52 miles. Anyway, i decided to change my air filter and i bought one at "Napa" . The truck runs fine and i plan on changing it once a month in the summer.
The things I've heard about K&N don't impress me for the price you pay .
As long as you keep the filter clean does it really matter what make it is? It gets a little dusty on these back roads in the summer when there's no rain but other than that i don't think there should be any problems. That's why i will change it once a month in the summer and maybe every two months in the winter.
Thanks for any openions you may want to share .
My truck is an 2001 ,SR5 ext cab. 4x4 ,2.7L stepside with 16" Good Year Tracker tires and i do a lot of off road driving. Mike

NAPA Filters
In think NAPA filters are as good or better than anybody's.
I use NAPA gold oil filter for my '03 4Runner, and will use their
air filter when due for change.

Hey, looks like we've got the same truck! I use a K&N, I've never had problems. Most folks here seem to really dislike K&N, and encourage Amsoil for a higher performance filter. I think it comes down to personal preference. Most internet research that I have done is advertising based, so the results always reflect the type of filter they are selling! Very biased! But this site is informative, http://www.mcagraphix.com/filter/test.htm
Like I said, I use my K&N and have an Amsoil for backup. I think basically that paper filters best, but oiled gauze (K&N) allows the best air flow. So it depends on what you're interested in.

I once worked in a speed shop and we had our own (kinda crude) test gear for filters because we were curious too. What it boiled down to was that overall, K&N and similar-type filters (AEM, Airaid, etc.) strike a good balance between flow and fitration. It's personal choice. You want filtration? Use a stock-type filter (despite what these companies claim, I don't believe these free-flowing filters filter as well). You want power? Use a free-flow type. Plain and simple.

Every AEM CAI I have ever owned has had a K&N on it. But, maybe that's what you were saying. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Another alternative, call Connicelli and have a filter sent to your door. I buy almost all my parts from them. Good guys.
