I was wondering whether a K&N filter would fit on my AEM CAI for an 01' Accord?

 

yes, but find the right one that will fit the intake..

edit: the diameter of the filter should be 2.5

 

well the only place around here that I could think of that may have it is advancedauto. Where could I find it on here - http://www.partsamerica.com/Ca...=2026

Have you checked any aftermarket performance shops?? There should be some in the sponsor marketing area on HT.

 

AEM uses K&N filters already. So are you changing it out b/c the current one is damaged or something?

 

hey are you 100% certain that AEM intakes are supplied with K&N filters? I just bought a SRI from AEM and was going to replace it?

-Can someone advise a newbie what specs to look out for in terms for buying a K&N filter for a AEM SRI. I would like to replace the one that it was supplied with because I prefer a smaller one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

last time i checked(which was about 2 years ago -_-a) AEM does come with a K&N filter, i remember it looking a lil diferent though, but it did say K&N on it...and why do u wunna go smaller?

 

well the filter has around 9k miles on it and I just thought it would be right to replace it....could I just wash it out or could I wait a bit longer?

 

I'm positive they come with K&N filters.

You can buy the "recharging" kit from Autozone. It's made by K&N and is used to clean and re-oil the filters. Follow the instructions that come with it for cleaning procedures. It's fairly simple though... As long as you clean and re-oil it properly, they can last longer than your car will. Some people replace them every 50k miles or so anyway. Mine currently has around 120k miles on it...

 

well how long did you wait to even touch the air filter?

Its good to clean the air filter about every other oil change...well at least inspect it. If it looks dirty then clean it with the k&n recharge kit, if its not then leave it be.

 

to the best of my knowledge, they arent K&N filters anymore, however they are made to the same standards....the K&N recharge will work fine....just reminds me of another thing i have to do to my danm car

I installed a AEM intake on a buddy's S2000 a couple months ago and the filter had the K&N logo on it, but he's had the intake laying around for more than a year before installation. So what you are saying is probably true...

As .ken mentioned, clean it whenever it looks fairly dirty. How much dirt it builds up will depend on conditions in your area. As for my car, the filter usually needs cleaning about every 20k miles.

 

thank you for your honest opinion, i have a CAI so its hard to just look and see, id have to do some removal of parts and what not.

 

why can't I post a pic of my car in my sig, ive tried so many times and it's not working.....
