Aem dryflow air filter

Ok, so this wasn't based on your experience. Got it. I've heard rumors of this before but always wondered how that happened...you would think this would be more related to clogged filters that weren't flowing well. My car hits 22.5 psi and no drama with the K&N.
Yes, not my experience. My interpretation was that due to the flat panel design the of the TRD filter which is identical to the K&N that it was seeing slight collapsing under moderate boost with the supercharger installation on the Toyota Tundra.
How much boost does that supercharge run? Can't be much.
Remember, boost =/= flow.
True true
In order for the turbo or SC to create boost it will need to increase the air flow through the air filter - what goes into the engine must come in and go through the filter. So I'd say boost does equate to a higher airflow rate through the air filter. Why else would one collapse otherwise when it's obviously due to increased delta-p from higher flow through the filter?

Yes yes yes.
My point was that "how much boost something is pushing" is not indicative by itself of how much air an engine needs.
Boost, by itself, is a measure of an engine's restriction. Put good heads on a supercharged engine and boost levels will drop because you have improved the flow.
Maybe off topic.
I have a aem dry flow in my wife’s 19 Pilot. I had a afe prodry in my Tacoma for about 70K miles. It takes 100K or so miles to start seeing any money saved by not buying regular filters. I just went back to factory or paper filters with 30K change interval. They filter better anyway.
I put one in my RAV4 V-6 years ago. I had previously installed a tower strut brace which made changing the air filter a pain in the a$$. The longevity and high filtering percentage/airflow of the AEM easily made it my choice over stock.
A lot of owners complain about this on the Focus forum....I think it's just the nature of the beast due to low torque and possibly the dual mass flywheel.

Get the throttle body from a 2.3 EB mustang. Direct bolt in and makes a world of difference.
SWRI test on AEM, K&N, AFE and Air Raid filters
I have the AEM Brute Force filter, but the SWRI report is no longer available, so some anecdotal evidence below:

That AEM looks pretty impressive in the SWRI testing.SWRI test on AEM, K&N, AFE and Air Raid filters

I agree totally. I just wish that Donaldson would make air and oil filters for a whole lot more applications. Don't mind paying for quality.
I went back to paper filters. By the time a reusable pays for it self it takes me 100K to get there. I replaced the papers every 30K.
