I know there are other filters out there now as well...what do you guys recommend? K&N? Air Hog? or something else?
Thanks.

If you read all the new articles and tests on these filters they are now showing they do more harm then good. If you really want one I'd suggest the Toyota TRD one, at least that way they can't say you added someting that ruined your vehicle.
Most test show that a good clean paper filter provides you the same benefits as the K&N. So change your paper one once or twice a year and save your self some money.
