Default intake filter question

i have a AEM short ram intake on my 99SI............needs new filter (not cleaning, new). its not the original and was a little fabricated and has been so long i don't remember much about what we did as far as the filter.

what filter do i need to buy to replace it? i see all kind of different sizes and lengths etc..........some help? use a K&N or what?

thanks!

K&N is the only way to go. Those filters have been proven, time and time again.

I bought an AEM for my ebay intake, seems to do the job. If I could have found a K&N I would have bought that one.

I just bought a k&n x stream filter for like $50. The specific model that I chose seems to perform significantly better than the knock off (but possibly supplied by) k&n filter that came with the air intake pipe. The unusual aspect about the specific filter I chose is that the cone filter is basically upside down from the way that most filters look and has a large round filter at the head.

This may be a bad visual demonstration but:

Normal filter is like: -&gt;

As this filter is like: -&lt;


Look at the measurements on k&n's website the product number is: RX39001

Good ****!

hey man its andrew i'm new to this site but you should just go to your nearest auto part store and just get just the cone and make sure its high flow just ask the guy thats there, it wont make much of a difference if you get a different make just try to get the same size and such man

materials. a cheap one is going to let in a lot of dirt. Spend the money on a K&N.
