I've had the dry AFE in my car for 15k now with no issues. Since it is a dry filter, whenever I have the hood open (which isn't that often) I will take the filter and tap on it to knock out the larger particles of dirt.

Can you share the part number?
I had K&N in my Taco and I believe it caused the truck to run RICH...I see black residue on the tail pipe (and rear bumper/quarter panel) after 10k miles....I threw it away.

Its the same part numbers as the one for the FJ Cruiser and the 4Runner

k&ns are good for those who appreciate delicate balances. If your want to set and it forget it, just buy the regular ole filter and call it a day. No power gains or such, as the motor is tuned optimally to the air box

Not a good idea to tap the air filter to let dirt out, it will suck up loose dirt, change the filter.

Not sure I quite understand.
Tapping the filter on the ground is one of the first step to cleaning the filter according to my filter's manufacturer. I am not tapping the dirt into the filter, im tapping it out. If I knock dirt loose and it gets sucked back into the filter for some odd reason, the filter is going to stop it from going into the engine like it the first time.
I should have checked it at 20K or so. Now I know to spin the filter due to the intake location. The filter is perfectly square so this would help no matter what filter you have.

Sorry to revive an old thread but how long does it take for the filter to dry out before reinstalling after cleaning it?
I visit a lot of job sites that are off road and very dusty and think I need to switch out to a K&n filter.
Directions say to gently shake off excess water and underlined allow filter to dry naturally.
I don't recall how long it took but temperature would be a factor.

Ok, I'm thinking I'll get the k&n and keep the current stock filter (or buy a new one) and use it for a day or so when the K&N needs cleaning.
