DIY Cabin Air Filter - Toyota Yaris Forums

Nice DIY, you get half a dozen filters for the same $15 I paid for one Autozone Bosch. And, I think it filters even better than mine! Only one concern: are the airflow characteristics of our little fans anywhere near what you'd find in an average home furnace setup? In other words, would this filter stifle our car's ability to flow A/C or heat?

I don't have specific numbers for our car's ventilation blower but the drop in air flow once I installed one of my filters was quite low. This means while there is some load on the system it's not much at all.

Any filtration is going to impede the flow a bit.

Agreed..I think perhaps your idea may actually flow better than the Bosch one! Next change, I'm trying your way.
