It's a HKS knock-off, except its not the cheap one... You can find the cheap ones (like $15 bucks at Kragens/Pepboys or like $10 on Ebay) but they are made completely out of plastic and are garbage.
I searched for a couple of days for mine which is a metal version. It's way heavier and stronger than the stupid plastic knock-offs. I paid $35 for it. It was at an old speed shop that I used to frequent when I was showing off my MR2 back when it kicked ass. It was on display, and when I bought it he just put it in a clear plastic bag, so I dont know who the manufacture is. I will have to go back and ask him.
The HKS "Super Power Flow" filter is probably the best air filter ever made in my opinion. EVERY huge power Turbo Supra and Nissan Skyline engines that I see are all using the HKS filter.
The genuine HKS filter retails around $130-180.
just for an air filter!
Here is a webpage I just found, if you want to see how expensive it is

Here's a REALLY cheap garbage wanna-be HKS filter I found on Ebay. This is an auction, so the link wont work for long, but check it out, only $4.99

You can tell its made of plastic and its also very small. The real HKS filter is 8" in diameter while the above Taiwan filter is only like 6" in diameter.
But the one I got is 8" and its constructed out of metal so Its gonna take some trail abuse and last.
So why did I want this filter instead of the cone? Because its really easy to clean. You just unscrew the cap and the foam insert comes out and you can easily wash it in the sink or throw it in the washing machine. I figured that its going to be really dusty/muddy out in the mountains so I wanted something I could use for a while and wash it time and time again.
Also I thought its more rare to see that filter in a Toy pickup, so I really wanted to run it 8)
