I just called and they don't have any in stock. They said they could order more but it would take 7-10 days for them to get them, so that's probably why they take several weeks to reach consumers. I googled the part# and couldn't find another place that sells them, not even Ebay. I'll keep looking. If anyone has personal experience with their quality, please chime in.
There are a bunch of places that sell them although their prices are not as good. Here are a couple of examples:

Got mine in less than a week and really like the sound and throttle response with the secondary filter removed as well. Same price as above and 05 and up to 08 are all the same for the V6.
I'd just stick to stock air filter and remove your secondary air filter = better breathing and great filtration.
just put the K&N sticker on your rear window and noone will know the difference... :lol:
I agree with the throttle response and the sound with the secondary filter removed... I'm also averaging 20.5 mpg with that removed and the stock filter.

got a friend who's getting one cuz of the whole oil-free thing. I'm thinking about getting one to replace the K&N.
Everyone I spoke w/ when getting the K&N stated that I shouldn't get it because it would void the warranty on the Mass Airflow Sensor and gunk it all up w/ oil and crap.
Thing is, what's the difference between the K&N filter and the TRD filter :whatthe:

Stock works. AFE breaths better and cleans up with soap and water for the life of your truck for $44.25 including free shipping. I figure that two Toyota stock filters would be about the same at your dealer. Your choice though.
From what I've read AFE is the supplier for the TRD and the TRD CAI as well. Both of these are indeed oil versions.
Who knows for sure?I ran a K&N drop in on my '99 TRD for most of the 9 years that I had it with no problems to the MAP sensor. I just went to the AFE because I've read good things and I'm getting lazy these days. I am happy with the AFE to date.
There's no such thing as "void the warranty". Having said that, some dealerships wouldn't think twice about trying to ding you for using a K&N which is interesting since the TRD intake uses an oiled filter.
I personally choose not to use K&N because, interestingly enough, I do feel it contributed to a failed MAF on my '05 Altima (no, it was not due to me over oiling it since I never put enough miles on it to get to that point). I replaced the one on my Altima with an AEM Dryflow and all was well. I will be buying this AFE filter.
Ultimate truck lists two air filters . one the high perfomance 30-10114($59) and the pro dry-s 31-10114 ($44) What is the difference? This is for the 4L V6. They both seem the same?
AFEfilters.com websight the #30-10114 is the oil version like the K&N while the #31-10114 is the oil free version.
I just checked my box and I have the oil free #31-10114. I know it's cheaper?
A long time ago I had a motorcycle which I was modifing to do dirt only riding. So I went with removing all the crap between the airfilter and the carb.(Secondary steel screen) Long story short, a back fire while in the air going over a jump I came down on fire, the engine was flaming like crazy. Needless to say, I am not removing any secondary filters ever since that day I watched my bike burn to the ground. Each to his own, but I feel like I got lesson learned.
^ So you won't be getting an aftermarket intake then, right? They remove the secondary filter.
^ That would be true, no after market air box for me, not because they don't have a secondary, (I would assume that the guys making the after market stuff have considered the liability issues). I would feel better with that instead of removing it on my own guess that its OK. I just don't have alot of extra time to be messing with it. I like the idea of one filter for the life of the truck, but then again, time involved. I'll just buy new paper elements.
You don't have to take out the secondary to use the AFE oil free drop-in. Also AIRAID Part # 510-179 cold air intake system retains the secondary filter but it is a oiled filter that they use.
