Haha...I think so too...yours does look smaller though. Did you have to do a lot of cutting? I sure did.

Yup...

I had to cut the plastic webbing off the front of it.

how tall is that filter? heightwise, is it smaller than your average K&N?
it looks mushroomed, my filter doesn't clear much.

Maybe if it was an HKS one then I wouldn't replace it...but since this one appears like a POS after awhile...you get the idea.

Pat: Yeah, these "flanges" can be found at Home Depot. It's in the irrigation section.

Bom: I'm not sure how tall it is, but I can measure it once I get home from school.

[QUOTE]Maybe if it was an HKS one then I wouldn't replace it...[QUOTE]

HKS isn't any better. Foam sucks!

I ordered one of those Accel Kool Blue filters to replace the one that came with my Greddy kit. It's been on back order for a couple of months. I have an excessive amount of time on my hands, so I had Accel send me a printout of their filter dimensions and made mockup filters out of cardboard to find out which was the largest they make that would fit. If anyone's interested, I chose part number KUC0805: 80mm flange diameter, 175mm base, 100mm top, 127mm length or...3 1/8" flange, 6 7/8" base, 3 15/16" top, 5" length. It's similar to a K&N filter, but supposedly filters better, the price is reasonable and it's blue. I know Apexi is the best, but they're expensive if you buy one with their flange. I wish I would've known about the Home Depot method!

yes home depot kicks ***! if i ever need to rig anything up thats the first place i stop. i never used that store for house products, only for my car.
if it wasnt for them I wouldnt have those nice comfy lude seats in my beater rex. Did you guys just take the filter with you to home depot to match it or what?

Yep...just so you know that you can mount it down. Took some work, but it came out okay and the part was a buck something only.
