Ouch! Don't you love brand loyoalists?mudferret said:*-happy Amsoil cultists?
Only when they don't sound like infomercials... I'll have to dig, but I'm pretty sure I still have emails from Amsoil where they admit fault...a year ago...Bryanccfshr said:Ouch! Don't you love brand loyoalists?
i found an older style amsoil filter and its just fine, filters great with no dust whatsoever behind it. ive had a k&n and it let dust thru like crazy. i also used to run the stock paper filters, and while they do a good job, they still would let some dust thru, unlike the amsoil which has none. did i notice any performance increase? nope, but at least im not spending 20 bucks a month/week/every offroading tripmudferret said:Make sure you ask Amsoil about thier Flowzair filter letting dirt by before you order, I found out the hard way that it does, then asked them about it, and they said they already knew about that problem and are redesigning to address the issue, yet continue to sell that filter. Thanks for the warning...
FWIW, this applies to some* of the Taco airboxes, Amsoil claims that slight variances between various model year airboxes are to blame.

I'd love to find an older style one, the filtering element itself wasn't the problem, it was the new neoprene stuff they had surrounding it that wasn't forming a tight enough seal.drabnor said:i found an older style amsoil filter and its just fine, filters great with no dust whatsoever behind it. ive had a k&n and it let dust thru like crazy. i also used to run the stock paper filters, and while they do a good job, they still would let some dust thru, unlike the amsoil which has none. did i notice any performance increase? nope, but at least im not spending 20 bucks a month/week/every offroading trip
Bryanccfshr said:There is no better "Filter" than stock Toyota. The aftermarkets cannot compare. You can drop a K&N, amsoil or a TRD in there and get more flow but you will also get more crap past into the intake until the filter is filthy enough to have good filtration but then again how are you to know how long the filth will remain a good filter before it gets to the breakthrough point. with an open deckplate even more dirt is available for ingestion by your air hungry powersource.
You will also have to be meticulous about not over oiling and keeping the MAF sensor clean.
Better yet you can seal that deckplate up run the OEM and keep your engine happier in the long run. Why add more maintenance to the truck for such a quastionable amount of performance?
If you want safe performance replace the headers and exhaust. If you want to live on the edge get a supercharger. If you can't afford either or are unwilling to spend the money keep that dependable drivetrain stock until you can do it right.
Just my callous opinion. If you want a cheap mod fun mod try to figure out how to get sand off the top of your fuel tankwithout using water.![]()
