How much $$ are they about...SC400?

 

Not that expensive at all.
I remember paying twenty something dollars.

 

20 bucks at your local Pep boys, R&S Struass...

 

yeah the stock filter is pretty cheap...i think i got mine for about $17.00

If you go through your local lexus dealership, probably 30-40 bucks.
I just order one from Carson Toyota for $12 plus $1 shipping (I think, plus or minus a buck).
those guys rock!

 

well i guess i need to call carson toyota then....

Yeah but if I get one at Pep Boys or a chain store, it wont be a Denso will it? Or does the brand not really matter?

 

I would have to say you're probably gonna get an off brand at one of the chains.

For $13-$20, why not just get the real deal?

 

Denso is not any good just like Fram thats auto zone ****. Get a K&N or a wix .

 

K&N is not 20ish... it is more like 80ish, or at least at the local auto parts I went to they quoted me 80.00 some.... And I have never heard of a Wix.....

I guess our cars aren't any good than considering there are a TON of denso parts in them

 

I have nother question..... I know planet soarer did the panel filter comparison and the stock toyota panel filter came out on top..... but what about conical filters?

 

stock intake came out on top because toyota build their cars right..
i just laugh when i see people installing aftermarket intakes on their stock motor.
I understand if their motor was build, which would be needing better air flow, which by me get a aftermarket intake.

K&N

 

Has anyone installed have a K & N drop-in filter for the SC400? If so, What is the part #

 

I just bought the stock air filter from Longo Toyota, but the part number didn't match the one on the planet soarer site.(Didn't bring the part # there cuz didn't plan to go there after school, but turned out I had time to spare ) I was cross referencing online to see what other toyota cars' filters are the same with the SC by using the K&N application chart, and turned out that 93+ supras uses the same thing. So, I went to the Toyota dealer(trying to save some $ since I don't have that much to spare right now) and got the filter with part number 17801-07020($13.53 after tax), where as the planetsoarer.com listed 17801-46060, so I'm wondering if they are the same thing?? If now, is the difference just that the one I got is made in US while the planetsoarer one is made in JP? Thanks!

P.S. the toyota guys told me that the Type-IV ATF don't come in 4 liter cans anymore, is this true?? So if I want to do a complete flush, how many quarts do I need?(too lazy to do the conversions )
