Ok, here's the pictures on just how dirty my filter got..........

 

one last shot.... I wish I had weighed the filter, you could feel the difference, compared to a new one. The TrueFlow rep took the filter back with him and gave me a new on.......

 

Is this your filter or someone else's? Why did you get a new one? Does the TruFlow not perform as advertised?

 

Does anyone have instructions on how to clean the Trueflow filter?

 

To clean the True Flow, link you need to wash it out with dish soap and dry it. Then get some airfilter oil from by true flow, I can get you this sa well, just PM.

Sqeeze in about 2 oz. of oil into the filter and stick it in a zip lock bag. Then knead it to evenly distribute the oil throug the filter. Next, take it out and sandwich it between a bunch of paper towels and step on it to get the excess oil out of the filter. All done.

 

That was my filter that I ran a test to see just how long I could go before performance loss, but after 8 months, I just couldn't wait any longer. I had purchased a spare one, so there wouldn't be any down time while I cleaned the old filter. At Northride Toyota's car show, TrueFlow had a booth set-up, my filter was on display showing how well it prevented dirt from passing through. The Rep then wanted to take it back to the factory and offered to give me a new replacement one. The filter exceeded all expectations.......



TrueFlow sells a kit to clean the filter, here's the link , TRUEFLOW-FOAM AIR FILTER CLEANER KIT - To Be Used On TrueFlow Foams Filters ONLY, Kit Includes Filter Cleaner and Foam Oil Your Price $14.50

 

Does the foam come out of the caseing, or do you have to wash it in the casing. I have only washed dirt bike air filters. You can pull them out, wash them, squeeze them into a ball to get all the water out and then oil them again. Are these the same, or do the instructions come in the kit?

 

Thanks man, just resived mine today

 

Bump for a great item.

 

i love mine it fit perfect and i got it from jason b too and he's a great guy

 

Yea, you will notice more power, especially at highway speeds, as the stock 4Runner it almost at standstill when flooring it.

 

Hey Jason, I got a True Flow Filter from ya a while back and am wondering if i should get a new intake tube, if its woth it? Also will be doing the deckplate mod soon to go along with it.

 

Cool. Yea, the new intake tube will help, as it's less restrictive and lets the air get in quicker/faster. It's on the website in stock as well...

 

Finally got around to cleanning one of my filters. I first hosed out as much dirt as possible, then used the cleaner from the kit. It's similar to Gunk engine degreaser. Let it soak for about 5 minutes then hosed it out. Afterwards I shook out as much water as possible, then put the filter back in my rig(the quick way to dry it out). Took it for a few laps around the block, I then removed the filter and sprayed on the oil.

 

I now have both air filters all back IN STOCK.

I have a question for all you True Flow owners, I'm also a proud owner of a true flow system, I'm getting more a noticable whisp noise on acceleration and deceleration, This noise sounds like a subaru WTX turbo whisp sound. Do you get this noise?

 

yes, due to the straight intake tube with no baffles or chambers which the stock had, it makes a more noticeable whisp like you explained. You can just hear the air, free flowing into the motor. I love it.

 

Yea, I don't really even notice it honestly, and I have the deckplate mod.

 

Both in stock
