recommendations for replacement air filter?
hi folks. yes i did a search, but all i could gather were posts on full intake systems
we bought a 99 gs400 that came with an hks intake system, and it kept throwing CELs. after finding out how much it would cost to dyno tune with an apexi safc i chose to reinstall the airbox with it's dingy original filter, which is hurting performance.
i was wondering if there are aftermarket options to a stock panel filter, or should i stay with stock? i do not want to use k&n because of the oil messing up sensors over time. i know i know... use oil sparingly, but after so many times on different cars i has cost me and i don't want to do it anymore.
i tried searching on the net but could only come up with a few names...
- trd
- tom's
- apexi
- blitz
does ne1 have any input on how these perform? which ones are dry filters? paper or foam? disposable or reusable? price?
thanks in advance...

cant really help you out as far as drop in replacements. They wont do anythign really for performance, you're better off just using a new stock filter if you're worried about messing up sensors, etc.

i've done a search already which is why i posted this thread to begin with... i haven't had much luck.
according to the k&n website:
- k&n part number for gs400 is 33-2137
- oem toyota part number is 1780150030
but i cannot find listing for the gs430... is this the part number for what u have?
local lexus dealer is not very helpful unless i'm buying something from them

so that's it... gs400/430 are not interchangeable. i wonder why... bigger airbox on the 430?
i was quoted $100cdn/hr straight time to do the safc, not including the cost of purchasing and installing the controller itself. i was told to expect it to be as much as $800cdn once everything was in and tuned
