    I have a TRD SPORT STOCK filter. I've heard AFE is excellent but i dont see anywhere that they make filters for 3rd gens.

    Stick with paper and change it annually. You will be fine.

    Keep the paper one it comes with, all the rest is just over hyped garbage. No gains in HP, MPG, Throttle Response. Waste of money, put it towards something else.

    I have an aFe system on my Gen3, despite what the haters say they do make a difference and they sound awesome!

    Keep the stock paper filter. If you want some noise, grab a TRD intake/airbox and put stock air filter in it.

    That's a whole different story than adding a drop in filter, and at least you said it right. Sounds awesome as in that's all it does is make noise and nothing else.

    Stp and Fram both have filters in their system for the third gen but no one carries them.

    I buy mine from the dealer. 33 bucks each and my free 30k oil change came with an air filter

    OEM, unless you like the dddrrroooonnnneeee sound. OEM paper filters as good as anything out there.

    Yes another vote for OEM Toyota paper.
    I had ordered a Wix paper filter [
    $29 WA10085 WIX Racing Filters Air Filter Panel
    WA10085] but it came with a poorly glued on foam layer below the pleats, the original does not have this foam. Needless to say I returned it and bought the original factory one from the dealer. It's a shame too because Wix usually makes good stuff and they're based out of Gastonia, South Carolina.

    When I was younger and dumber, I probably would have done with something like the dry AFE but those are mostly noise makers and I like my cab noise at a minimum.

    I have the TRD filter in a stock box and MBRP muffler and my truck is fast AF and sounds like a smallblock.

    You might be the first person to ever say a stock Tacoma is fast, because those mods don't create anymore power
