So's I goes to my local Advance Auto Parts store today, because it is the last day for 25% off the K&N filters. I pull my e-bay filter off (that came with the e-bay short ram intake)..and I find it is a 3"... they only have K&N 3 1/2 and 4 " filters !?!
Does K&N make a 3" clamp on?... or was my local store just out of them?


...oh, and why is an AEM dryflow 3" filter so expensive?..was like over 50 bucks... are the AEM's better than the K&N's?

Sounds like you just have a crappy Advance Auto Parts[8D].

It will probably fall off because I don't see that clamping properly

my ebay CAI was all 2.5" tubing, and came with this ghetto, cheap @$$ filter. it fell off and i was sucking god knows what into my engine for i dont even know how long. i looked one day and was like uhh where is my filter? so anyways, go to auto zone. so your whole intake is 3" outside diameter? if you measure it and the outside dia. and it is 2.5", go to autozone and take a tape measurer with you and start ripping boxes apart to find the right one. i think the one i have is bigger that stock, and its so big i had to take my headlight out, and take my intake apart just to put the darn filter on. at least i know even if it falls off for whatever strange reason, its not going anywhere.

K&N is way better than the aem in my op and I got my K&N from oreileys autoparts way better than advance in most areas except advance has ngk plugs and optima batterys where the other two places dont.

That is exactly the reson why I switched from CAI to SRI...I didn't want to deal with it falling out and vanishing on me.

Oreily's sucks. I think they are the worse out of all the auto parts stores.

Well orileys has the only autopaint store in my area and got my k&n filter for 30bucks other than that I get most of my stuff from ebay. So I guess every auto parts store has its good with me.
