K&N, Amsoil or TRD??

I'm trying to decide which aftermarket airfilter to put in my 2004 Taco. Can I get some opinions?

I don't have any experience with any of them, but I do know that the Amsoil is a lot more involved to clean than is the K&N.

I had the Amsoil. Great filter but a pain in the ass to clean. I just buy a few OEMs.

Another vote for stock OEM air filters.

if you are talking about drop ins the k&N doesnt fit the 3.4 air box very well, and thats why most wont use it.

I haven't really had any fitment problems with my K&N and I do check it often to see if it isn't seating properly but I'm more concerned with it's filtration which I'm monitoring also.

I'm considering looking at the TRD but if it's just the same as a K&N I might just go back to OEM.

Vote for OEM! I don't have any experience with any of the above but after reading several posts, I would rather just stick withe OEM filters. Just the price of the TRD filter keeps me away from it.

The amsoil works well for me on Gadget's recommendation.
There are quite a few using that filter....flows much better than K&N....dyno proven too!
