Dont expect them until like next year. Its always like this with new cars.

I never seen the Pre 07's before. But are the sizes the same? minus having only 1 instead of 2?

They have a HUGE selection of custom filters. maybe that is an option?

The 03-06 air box is larger than the twin 07 boxes. Someone needs to make a high flow filter!

high flow air filter is a no brainer.

Meh whatever, I believe someone took the air filters off during a dyno pull and didn't see any gains

That's interesting considering how paper filters are so restrictive...
Not only that, after putting in the K&N drop in, I definitely heard louder suction from the intake. Given that, I'm sure there's better flow to the intake than stock filter.

Roger That!

Ultimately, any increase in intake volume and efficiency (via colder air) equals increases in hp.

umm, no.

and also paper airfilters are NOT necissarily more restrictive... when DIRTY they are more restrictive... but when clean flow just as well in a lot of cases. alot of people I know buy brand new paper filters when going drag racing just for that fact. (LSx guys anyway)

Huh?? Have you ever heard of QD Electric Cleaner?

The only reason oil will F-up your MAF is if you "over-oil" it yourself. You don't need to clean those filters for like 30000-40000 miles.
