Air Filter??

[LoudCamry]

JUst want to know is there a big different between the TRD air filter and the K&N Filter.

[rommel5u]

do you mean the OEM style or the open. i had an K&N OEM style dropn filter and i didn't really notice the difference. so i made a custom ram air intake from the do it yourself filter kit parts from pepboys. i'll post a pic once i figure out how. it look decent..

No, there really isn't a difference.

The nice thing about having a TRD filter is that the Toyota dealer can't give you any crap about having it, because it's a Toyota product and doesn't affect the warranty. If you had a MAF sensor type problem and a K&N filter, they might blame it on the filter causing the problem. They can't do that with the TRD filter.

I have a TRD filter in my Camry and a K&N in my Formula. I think the TRD filter is of slightly better quality. TRD filter recharging kits are more expensive than K&N kits though.

Thanks...for nothing.

There are specific laws that pertain to the country of origin displayed on package containers. They are made in Japan when the box states such.

The K&N filter and TRD filter have different gauze, a different rubber body, and the oils are also different. TRD filters fit perfectly, many times K&N actually has to add strips of weatherstrip so that they will seal properly.

Sorry, but I'll take the facts that I can actually see and compare in person to "trusting" you. I actually have both filters...

EDIT: I've just checked out your previous posts where you are giving out advice also. You shouldn't be giving out advice in my opinion, because it's clear that you don't know what you're talking about. Trust me.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to defend TRD here. TRD has attributed great knowledge and advice to this site. You may be a Toyota mechanic, but that doesn't automatically make your opinion correct. We can all agree and share stories where a problem with our cars has occured and a mechanic at the dealership could never find out what's wrong. Then we decide to inspect it ourselves to find the problem by using simple trial and error methods.

I, and I'm sure the majority of us, have a very hard time trusting anyone who continually writes a whole paragraph with one sentence and spells every other word incorrectly.

no your right he could be right about the whole bearing issue but about it being absolute no good well,like i said hes wrong it works fine,and about the whole typeing thing,im no computer geek that knows the keys too well but of course you all have to jump on my english(im french from montreal)this is the second time,trust me you wont be seeing me again,listen to who you want and make shure you use RED coolant you might blow up if you dont,whatever,i have better things to do then help someone like some on this site,its too bad for the good ones,
psmy typeing is not the best i admite,but my message always was clear,

Aww...I'm gonna miss him....

I love your posts man, always good for a laugh . You give sarcasm a whole new meaning.
Trust me.

Seriously, it's just the facts. I can't help it if someone flips out and doesn't feel wanted because his incorrect information gets corrected.

I never said that not using red coolant would cause a car to blow up. I simple said that mixing it with green (inferior) coolant negates the advantage of the red Toyota coolant. That to, is a fact. The thread he is referring to is in the General Camry Forum.

Fulfilling training to get a certificate doesn't mean jack. I've known ASE Master Techs that don't know how to turn rotors or why they should do it. True story. It doesn't take a lot of brains to pass any of those tests.

I'm not a backyard "mechanic" as you've stated. I've had plenty of my own worthless certifications in my life. Through Toyota, Ford, GM, and Dodge. I've worked every angle of the automotive business as well, from the aftermarket to the dealer.

Feel free to go through all of my prior posts. They're there just waiting. The difference is, that mine are as accurate as possible and FACTUAL.

If you want it in black and white, just let me know. I'd be glad to go through your prior posts and then search for supporting facts and links that show how many times you've posted incorrectly. Making up crap to post and posting inaccurate information doesn't help anyone.

EDIT: Here's a post that he made pretending to help someone with a problem on a '92 Camry.
