it's important to note that this test says nothing about the relative performance of filter types at wider throttle openings. In fact, I'd go out on a limb and say that at wide open throttle (WOT), the K&N filter would probably deliver more air (and therefore better efficiency due to decreased pumping losses) than OEM paper.

I'm gonna let this one die. Its a good product and Garm is a good vendor. Just don't expect things the manufacturer doesn't even claim will happen.

I got one of these about 3 months ago. It sounds a little better but I haven't noticed any MPG improvement. I bought it because of the fact that it's washable and will save me money in the long run, plus I don't have to worry about filter oil supposedly messing with my MAF sensor.

I just picked up one of these. Good price and I think I'm getting a little old for that huge intake Honk on a daily basis.. and its alot cheaper than the whole intake system.

I want one of these for my '10 5-Door. I assume there's been no change between the '09 and the '10 air box...right?

When I go to the AFE website it shows part # 30-10150. Is this right? It lists it as a "Scion xD 1.8L" filter. Maybe they use the same filter? Anyone know?

EDIT: I just crossed referenced the K&N filter #'s and they show the same part # for the Yaris and xD. So I'll assume that the AFE's are shared as well. Somone can still chime in and verify though.
