DodgyRog Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) I have aquired a nearly new TRD Panel Filter recently and I already have a K&N Washable Panel Filter I am not sure if the TRD Filter is washable, it is difficult to tell if it's a paper filter or fabric, but I know they are very expensive, which is why I am thinking they maybe washable So anyone know for definate as I want to keep a washable filter for convience really, so will keep the K&N if the TRD is not washable Cheers Rog Edited December 4, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's difficult to tell by looking and I have done a bit of searching and get mixed results, mainly on the US site and Aus one, they all think it's the best filter, but some threads say it is washable I have it sat on the desk in front of me and the material seems to be more like a fabric than paper, but don't want to destroy an expensive filter by washing it and making it a a paper mess on a red TRD frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boge Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 http://my.is/forums/f88/trd-vs-k-n-air-filter-285271/ Looks like its washable like the k&n just a different oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I washed mine mate, was fine. From what I can gather there is a washable one and a Paper one, I think I have the washable one, it feels to soft and slightly fluffy Think I might just wash a small corner and see what happens If it is washable, do I keep the TRD or K&N though:rolleyes: Edited December 5, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Soft and a little bit fluffy is always a good thing;) unless it's cheese Edited December 5, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 i'll check the box mine came in tomorrow, see if theres anything to be learned from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Keep the k&n and give me the trd For now I will keep both, but once I have tried cleaning the TRD, if it stays in one piece, I will proberbly sell on the K&N i'll check the box mine came in tomorrow, see if theres anything to be learned from that. The info seems really sketchy, which is surprising considering the cost and that people seem to regard them highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
