Just bought my afe pro dry s filter!!

anyone have links to install it i tried seraching but only the cabin air filter keeps coming up

 

Nice!! I really like the AFE`s! I ran their stage one on my 7.3L psd , then went to the stage 2 on my 7.3L psd. I`ll be buying AFE for the tacoma for sure!! Should be really easy to install, take pictures and make a good thread out of it!!

 

I don't think there are any. Basically, you undo the clips on the airbox to seperate the two halves. The stock air filter will come right out. Drop the aFe in making sure to pay attention to the orientation for correct airflow.

 

Cool...I bought one yesterday...anxious to get it and see if it makes a difference in acceleration or MPG.

 

hey can you take a picture of the lid on the box for me? mine has the wrong lid hope yours is right

 

ever change your stock air filter?

 

I miss- read, I thought he bought a complete air intake system, it`s mega easy to just change out the air filter. Sorry!

 

afe pro dry ftw!!

 

i was bout to say... changing the air filter is bout the easiest thing you can do on the taco

how much you pay for that filter? i can't decide to get one or not... i mean is it realy gonna make that much of a difference?

 

yes please tell does it make much difference in hp or throttle response. I tow a heavy trailer( 5,000 lbs) and need all the extra ponys i can get..

 

Someone was wondering about price? I had to pay about $100 Canadian for mine. I took the secondary filter out when I put my AFE in and it has increased the airflow / HP for sure. I can be going 30 kph / 20 mph and punch it and it will chirp the tires now in 2WD. (mines an automatic) And the sound............well it's music to my ears, it is starting to get a little growl on!!!!!!!!!!!! Really want to get a decent muffler as well. It all takes time.

 

HP, no way to tell without a dyno. MIGHT add 1-2hp. Throttle response, I feel that it made it snappier. However, no way to quantify this either.

I look at it this way: It's one of a series of mods, in my case the muffler too, that will reap some benefit of some kind (that I can't prove without a dyno). Worst case, I never have to buy another air filter so I save money.

 

Your not going to break any HP records with this that's for sure. Gas mileage is about the same. No worse and no better. I am still the best controller of MPG's. Horsepower I cannot say for sure seeing I have not done any before/after tests but if feels to have more responsive. And I think it might sound better. Not louder better, but "god it feels good to breathe" better. If that made sense.

You are not going to get into your truck and say DAMN! But it is a good behind the scene upgrade.

 

breathing is a good thing lol. Not much difference i see but my stock filter has 26k on it and i think its time for a new one just cant decide on which one
