    Oiled filter is reusable (you clean it instead of replacing) and supposedly flows more. The OEM filter will work with a TRD CAI if you’d rather save the the initial cash.

    A short, concise explanation of the difference between oiled vs dry:
    https://blog.edgeautosport.com/dryflow-vs-oiled-air-filters

    I had oiled before. Not too bad to clean and oil, though drying it took most of a 85F sun shiney day. I had a OEM dry filter to use while the oiled one dried.
    I switched to below:

    The link below fits the Tacoma, I have the TRD Pro CAI that I also use it with....and I cut out that charcoal filter.
    Plus this dry filter is reusable....you can wash it. Dries much faster than an oiled filter.

    Had the same AFE set up.
    Regardless of what some people say, it did give a seat in your pants kick to accelerating and some major noise. I liked it. I also did add a Cat Back.....but that made it too loud for me because it started to drone when cruising. Again, it does make some noise...was fun for a few months.
    I did send back the pre-air filter part(the more or less black nylon bag), since I did my own non-technical test of blowing air through it with pressurized air...it definetly reduced air flow.
    After Harvey totaled my 2016 TRD I installed the TRD Pro exhaust and TRD CAI....quieter.
    I think you’ll like it though!

    2” BORA. I looked at spidertrax but I had a hard time finding shipping to my area. The wheels rub a bit on tight turns, so I’ll need to do some adjusting, hopefully just pulling off the mud flaps

    This is the one I bought off Amazon after asking someone else on TW that had it....and would it fit the 2017 TRD. It fits like OEM.
