K&N Filter Box (1 Viewer)

[aktundra]

Is anybody running a K&N air filter box that more or less fits in the stock location and will attach to a snorkel….. located in more or less the “stock” location !?!?!?

Can you post a P/ N ?

What’s wrong with your stock air filter box? I’m sure there is a K&N filter for your truck but the stock air filters are really good. If you’re wanting to keep dust out of your engine a pre filter on your snorkel would do that without having to use an oiled filter.

Waste of money. They let too many particles through. Stick with the factory air filter.

If you are asking so you can have a washable filter.. the OEM filter is Washable by design. So you can buy two and always have one ready when you wash one.

Also I don't know the answer to if you can get a K&N Intake which is what I think you are looking for. I will say that i find that K&N filter/intake setups are usually mostly beneficial when you are running full out, but actually i've had them decrease performance for normal everyday driving. I am trying to rip a system out of my tundra now to get a back to stock as it is eating my fuel and seems to be sluggish unless I am hammering it. Turns out no one wants to trade me for their stock stuff... likely for the same reasons.

And destroy MAF sensors, etc.

Appreciate the comments on the merits of K&N.

Since I did not post looking for options on K&N, I did not mention I have done an LS swap, and for the last eight years I have been running with the stock OEM air filter. But strictly due to clearance issues I need to lower the assembly. Even if I make a custom box, I still need air filters that fit it.

Just my opinion, but recommend a new post with those details.
The responses you received were specific and relevant to the 1FZ and the nature of its air intake particulars opposite the use of a wet filter.

What type of clearance issues are you having. You can see the hood insulation touches my 90 but not enough to hurt anything.

Would a 100 series setup give you the flow and clearance you need? It seems to be in the same general area but I have not removed one completely to see if it sits lower. I don't think early model tundra or sequoia options will work since they are too far forward to the radiator support.

Or the 05 4runner airbox...

Also I have some vehicles I can take measurements on can you tell me how much lower you need to be? I can try to measure the various vehicles I have to see if they would be options for you.

Frankly I don't care what engine it is on, K&N oiled filters are not a good solution. But good luck with your project.

The other bolt in option is one of a couple Aussie made housings that use a flat panel filter from a 200 IIRC. “Moonlight” is one brand.

Seems like there’s one out there that uses a Duramax filter too. These options aren’t small though. We’ll have to know what your fitment issue is to really help.
