Hmmm. Kind of a generic answer. Of course any filter that pulls air from an (already hot) engine bay is gonna be less efficient than an induction system that takes (non-engine heated) cold air from the fender. Fender CAI's are fairly cheap and I recommend them as oppose to a short ram air filter.

If so let me know. I didn't think anybody made one for the v6 yet. __________________ SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOOKERS....HUG A TOW TRUCK DRIVER! Donate to lxhatch@gmail.com

I've noticed that the K&N gave me more power, not much, but noticable over the other. I also noticed just a hair more acceleration difference. I don't know if this will help or not...

Get a 40 dollar one and be done put a k&N filter on it it is a k&N CAI pretty much. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.
