planning to do a diy f sport intake, last part of my set up is a dry filter...

I've seen a couple of different options aside from the f sport (blue) dry filter. $67 from sewell

If you suggest another option please list the price as well.

 

In my experience, the F sport blue filter makes no difference in sound whatsoever over the regular Toyota filters. The HKS superhybrid drop in filter (foam) was a tiny bit louder, but not enough so to deal with subpar filtering. As far as drop in filters, unless you're trying to save money over the long run, I'd just use the OEM filters.
