Im thinking of replacing my filter with a trd sports one, but i'll have to order it from the dealer, and its 80 bucks. Is it a good idea to get it or is it not really an improvement at all (im not putting a new intake on any time soon btw) ???

just get a k&n air filter, its the same thing for about 1/2 the price

It's a good deal if you plan on keeping your car for a while. It will save you money on replacing those paper filters. The TRD one sounds a little expensive, though.

You can get them off of E-bay for $45.

Try an Amsoil 2-stage foam air filter, washable and re-useable, order some of their foam filter oil when you need to clean it. I wash mine in a bucket of warm water with dish soap to cut the old oil, let it dry, re-oil and back in. :
