Have anyone changed their air filter in their car for a aftermarket item and left it in the stock box. Do you need to get a brace of some sort to hold the filter?
Is it possible? Just that mine is getting dirty and would like to change it for say a k&n reusable one. thanks

I have just changed mine to a K & N filter - fits straight in, no mods required.

PM me if you want one - can fit it for you too.

Do you have a part number for that Slick?

Will look it up and post later.

It's K&N E-2435. And that's from memory.

I did a group buy on them in August 2001.

Yep, that is correct Aus - the code is E2435.

Price around $140.00 incl, and a hand with fitting if required.

Slick and Aus did you guys notice any difference with the K&N?

AusS2000

Yes, my wallet was lighter. Apart from that the only difference is that you don't replace them, you clean them. Mind you, it'll take quite a few changes/cleans before you break even.

That said, I replaced the Comptech foam/oil filter with a K&N just because it is less messy.

I assume that if you use the K&N filter you can no longer put the top back on the air box - as per the photo above. Is that right?

If that's the case, then the patented Slick cold air intake would not be nearly so effective. Is that right?
