This link is for the sedan, but just go to the main page and select your car/truck, etc. $5.53 each (sedan), plus shipping. Buy several at once to save on shipping costs over the long term. I plan on getting several for my Yaris plus my wifes 09 Corolla S. :thumbsup:

for 16 bucks, ACE hardware, strip of duct tape, and a pair of scissors I can have 8 cabin air filters.

Excellent! Some things I'll pay for, some things I'll do myself. This one, I'm fine with paying. Once I get them, I will show these to my Toyota mechanic buddy and see what he thinks.

would like to see one compared to another filter to compare... I'd buy 5 of them if I knew they were great quality.... but would hate to stock up, and then have buyers remorse.
I have a hard time believing the filter media is better than that of a 3M Filtrete filter..... though it would be a lot less work, and even fit in easier.

I've ordered 3 for my wifes Corolla and 3 for my Yaris, just to make the shipping worthwhile. I'll post up a pic of my current Toyota cabin filter (which will be dirty) next to one of these. My Toyota mechanic buddy is interested too. I'll run them past him and get his opinion.

^^^ your missing the point. I got 9 filters for under $40. If you buy 9 filters at $8, your almost at double the price.
Buy more than one. Enjoy the savings. Id change these out every 10-15k. I put 40k on my yaris in 1 year.

it'd be kind of a hassel to hold on to 9 filters for up to 135,000 miles... takes up some room... and would suck if the car gets totaled/traded, or if you move cities...
I doubt i'd buy 9... maybe four.... thats only 60k worth. Eh... I need to replace the filter soon... gotta make up my mind.

They dont have a flat rate on shipping. Everytime you add another filter, the cost of shipping goes up. I can go to O'Reilly's and buy a case of them at a discounted price(almost at cost) and it would be less than this website.

9 for $40? Thats $4.44 a piece. How did you manage that? If I ordered 9 it would cost $66.08 which includes $16.31 shipping.

maybe they are based close to PA... and not TX
EDIT: maybe you did the process incorrect.... when I first tried to calculate shipping it only wanted to calculate for 1 filter.... then i realized that I had to increase the order of filters, then push "update basket" then push calculate shipping.... You weren't adding 1 filter multiple times to your cart were you? If that was the case... it might calculate shipping as if it were shipping multiple packages instead of one big package.

I just punched in 5 filters to Eugene,Oregon and it came to $36.44 or $7.29 per filter after shipping.
shipping for one filter was like $8.xx, for 5 filters was literally cents more (I think it was around 50cents more for the additional 4 filters).
I'm going to take a shower, then head to the autoparts stores to see what they have for my car... If they can give me a filter for $10 or under. If they can't, i'll make a purchase on this site. Course... I'll also be asking to look at the physical filter media before buying locally... needs to be halfway decent quality.

As I mentioned before, once I get them, I'll pull out my Toyota filter and take some pics of them side by side and post 'em up. See if we can see a difference.

nope..sorry I changed the number to 9, clicked on update cart, and then typed in zip code. Over $16 for shipping. You said it yourself, "bigger package." The bigger a package is, the more it is going to cost to ship it. Thats with any order with any company.
Still wondering how you are getting the filters for $4 with free shipping?

What do you do to breath when you step out of the car? Gas mask? I guess they keep the mice out of the evaporator.

it keeps dust out of the car. don't need to wipe pollen and dust off the dash
nearly as often as without a filter. it cuts DPM and diesel soot.
they turn black in months. they sure do clean -something- out of the air.

I don't know yet. Waiting for the cabin air filters. You could also give them a call asking about the headlights and get a "feel" for their Customer Service. Just a thought... I did send them an e-mail via their web page Contact Us section and they replied within about 6 hours. So far so good.

Again, I did NOT order 9 of the SAME filters. I have TWO toyotas. Not both are a yaris.
Shipping was $13 something for my shipment, NOT over $16

ok, but you quoted me on post 18. Go back and read it. It says you imply I only paid $4 a filter. I merely said I do not have 2 yaris cars, so maybe thats why your math doesnt add up.

If you dont believe me, my zip is 17404. Plug that in for your shipping zip.
Plug FIVE yaris sedan filters in.
Plug FOUR scion tc filters in.
ADD UP all those numbers and you get a total. Pretty simple math bro.

5 Yaris filters = $27.65
4 tC filters = $14.68
Shipping = $14.15
TOTAL = $56.48
As you can see I added up all of those numbers and I got a total. It was $16.48 off from what you said it was, bro.

I took one of the new filters over to my Toyota mechanic buddy and he said he would have no problem putting these in his customers cars. He does side jobs when he's not working at the Toyota dealership. He noted that they are "directional" (I missed that!). Stamped on one end is a note about air flow direction. Just make sure you are putting them in the right way. :thumbsup:
