Did an extensive search and found nothing about this.

I´ve got a tube behind the bumper sending fresh air inside the stock air box. Problem is I'm running the OEM air filter. As you can imagine it gets dirty real fast and I've got replace it often. I decided to buy a drop in air filter like K&N but I can't find anybody that does one except for K&N or Spoon?!

Does anybody here runs one of the filters and if yes which do you think is best? Does someone know any other brand that does a drop in filter for the ITR?

Thanks

Get one of those.

The differences between various drop in filters will be minimal. It really does not matter which one you choose.

Monster is cheaper than Spoon and you can always try and find one from Comptech.

 

I have a Comptech foam filter w/ a can of cleaner for sale, IM if interested.

You take a stock paper filter, cut it up so that you only have the plastic neck (base) left. You should be able to break/crack the epoxy to get it off of the plastic neck. Also keep the filter endcap, again breaking the epoxy off of that.

Using a hose clamp, attach a K&N RU-2820 filter to the OEM filter neck. It will be a tight fit, and will be easier if you use a hairdryer to heat up the K&N filter's flange to make it more flexible.

Finally use some small screws to attach the endcap to the end of the K&N filter.

End product should be like this:





And before anybody says anything about the K&N drop-in, this here costs less than half the price of the K&N drop-in, and it actually fits BETTER. This fits 100% like stock, whereas the drop-in replacement filter doesn't have the endcap like the stock filter, nor does it have the rubber gasket around the neck that forms a seal when you put the airbox lid back on.

I'm still using this same filter after 3 years and well over 80K miles.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Just remember his location when suggesting options or things you may have for sale.

And iirc as already posted, Monster filters are cheaper than Spoon and are the same thing if you can get your hands on them.

Cruz! You're the man! Thank you very much!

Here's a image to compare the drop-in and the RU-2820:



RU-2820 looks a bit shorter than the drop-in but looks larger on the other way.
Do you think they'll perform the same.. I prefer the RU-2820 so I can save some $$$

it will definitely perform the same if not better.

The drop in K&N doesn't come with the same rubber seal for the air box and the fit is just crappy.

 

i have had the spoon and K&N filter, seen no difference in the 2. I have stayed with the K&N b/c its a little cheaper.
