    My childhood road trips consisted of me and my brother sitting in the back while my dad chain smoked with the window only slightly cracked because he didn't want to let the AC out. :annoyed:

    I'm not a fan of the K&N engine air filter (don't use) but I do use the K&N cabin air filter and keep it clean with the kit. I like the metal mesh on it too. Seems to be good and hopefully not hurting anything.

    I figure the tiny bit of benefit these filters provide is a drop in the bucket compared to the crap we breath everywhere else.

    I run filterless so I'm assured to get maximum air flow.

    The K&N definately stopped my wife’s sneezing in the truck when we lived in the forest during pollen time. The filter was caked with yellow ea time I cleaned it. Much less showed up on the original paper filter. Results were visible inside the truck on the black plastic trim. Ran one for 9 yrs in the Taco too. I’ve not had the flow issue in the Tundra since day one. I honestly believe there’s an issue with some people’s air mixing valve in the air duct/plenum not operating correctly and blocking flow.
