Is it damaged or do you just want a bigger one? Just curious why you don't just clean it and put it back in. I replaced mine with a JR filter but I needed to modify it slightly so it would seal over the end of the AEM pipe. You can do this with any of the drop in filter meant for the stock airbox.

my filter was filled with water during a heavy rain storm, and i didn't know the entire filter, and pipe was filled so it sat for a few days. the filter started to get soggy and i saw a few holes. So wanted to replace it with another one.

So something that will fit a stock airbox will fit?

OK, that explains it.
Yes, a stock sized filter will fit, but like I said, a slight modification is needed. You must build up the diameter of the AEM pipe with sticky foam tape because the inlet to the stock filter is a bit bigger than the one on the AEM filter.
FIY, a stock type of filter has approx. 37 sq. inches more surface area than the AEM. In this case, more is better.

The AEM part # for the VI replacement filter is a 21-203, I assume the V2 uses the same filter. (unsure ) I can find out if need be...
You can get it at any AEM vendor.
If you do not have access to a source send me a pm and I probably have one in stock.

I found that the K&N RR-3001 was a perfect fit for my AEM V1

Plus the top adds extra surface area over the AEM OEM
