Who makes Toyota air filters

[toytrain13]

Can anyone tell me what manufacturer makes the Toyota air filters (for Camrys, in particular). I presume these would be less expensive than the Toyota-labeled ones. Thanks!

The air filter in my new 07 Camry V6 has "Denso" on it. As I understand it Denso makes these at there own plant. I don't know if they make them for other "brand names" or not though.

Thanks Mike! I checked and yes it does say "Denso" on the existing Toyota air filter. I checked online and see that Toyota and Denso have a long-standing relationship- which extends to air filters. So I checked for prices on the Denso filter for my 2004 I4. There aren't many sources, but depending on who you have the most confidence in, the filter cost varies from $9.52 (DensoProducts.Com) to $17.78, (ThePartsBin.Com), plus shipping. -Richard W. in Moraga, CA
