    Ah, well it's not totally wrong about both lines being cold it just doesn't apply to the Tacoma's with an expansion valve.
    Most orifice tube systems have the orifice in the high side line 6-24 in from the evaporator in which case they should be roughly the same temperature in and out of the evaporator if everything is working correctly.

    Curious to learn your experience overall with the K&N cabin, do you need to use anything special to clean it and how long have you had it?

    This could be a wise purchase for my wife's Rav, I change hers every year because she has allergies.

    I've had it since 2015 and I've been happy with it, when you consider the cost of a paper cabin filter is around $10 it doesn't take too long to pay for itself.
    It does take a different cleaner and refresher than their engine air filters though and my only gripe is the spray bottles the cleaner comes in are crap, I ended up putting mine in a regular spray bottle.
    As far as how well it filters out allergens that's for someone more scientific to figure out lol.

    That you can tell, does the cleaner have any fragrance..either added (like summer breeze) or chemical smell?

    It has a slight smell when I first do it, like for maybe a day or so but after that I don't notice anything.
