Default AEM CAI replacement filter $70!!!

I looked aroung my local shops that's how much they want, that is almost half the price for the CAI.
Anyone know a good place to buy the filter?

Why buy a new one when you can just clean it? Unless of course it is beyond cleaning or is damaged. The K&N filter recharger kit is $10

I want to be able to just swap it, and clean the one that is out, tha tway I don't have the car on jacks until it dries and so on.
Just being lazy on cleaning it and putting it back in same day.

then I loose the quality of the filter by buying an aftermarket (not K&N). I was offered that at a shop, but decided to wait and see. Also the CAI filters have the 3" neck and the aftermarket ones have 1" or less.

It's easy to clean it. I didn't even need a jack or anything. Just took it out and cleaned it, let it dry and then put it on. If you REALLLLLLY want to buy another one I would suggest Apexi filters. Pretty expensive and more than the K&N.
