If you go through your local lexus dealership, probably 30-40 bucks.
I just order one from Carson Toyota for $12 plus $1 shipping (I think, plus or minus a buck).
those guys rock!

I would have to say you're probably gonna get an off brand at one of the chains.

For $13-$20, why not just get the real deal?

K&N is not 20ish... it is more like 80ish, or at least at the local auto parts I went to they quoted me 80.00 some.... And I have never heard of a Wix.....

stock intake came out on top because toyota build their cars right..
i just laugh when i see people installing aftermarket intakes on their stock motor.
I understand if their motor was build, which would be needing better air flow, which by me get a aftermarket intake.

I just bought the stock air filter from Longo Toyota, but the part number didn't match the one on the planet soarer site.(Didn't bring the part # there cuz didn't plan to go there after school, but turned out I had time to spare ) I was cross referencing online to see what other toyota cars' filters are the same with the SC by using the K&N application chart, and turned out that 93+ supras uses the same thing. So, I went to the Toyota dealer(trying to save some $ since I don't have that much to spare right now) and got the filter with part number 17801-07020($13.53 after tax), where as the planetsoarer.com listed 17801-46060, so I'm wondering if they are the same thing?? If now, is the difference just that the one I got is made in US while the planetsoarer one is made in JP? Thanks!

P.S. the toyota guys told me that the Type-IV ATF don't come in 4 liter cans anymore, is this true?? So if I want to do a complete flush, how many quarts do I need?(too lazy to do the conversions )
