That's more important.

The cabin, just open the window. Our nose have filters of it's own.

I would guess that a saturated cabin air filter will make air flow less efficient. I think mine weighed nearly a pound when i replaced it earlier this year. Only 18000 miles or so only too.

if your talking about the engine air filter then get the k&n filter because its reusable and better than original(many say better gas mileage and more HP but both are very small increases).

You have to clean and oil it periodically though. Some people have had the oil screw up some sensors.

Does anyone knows if TRD will release a filter for the I4 anytime soon? Or could I purchase a Scion filter for use in the 4 Cyl. I would rather get the TRD filter rather than K&N if they will make one for the 2007-2010 4 Cyl. Thanks.
