Its a cone filter.i cant believe that nobody has went through this yet.would it be a bad idea to just do away with the box? Would that change the ram air effect?

In using some basic physics, it probably hurts more than helps.

Slp direct has the filter.

Thats what I thought but I called and they said they dont carry the ones that fit in my airbox anymore?

Thanks for everbodys help.so the slp one above will fit in the air box with the compute or ecm?

And for now I have I think is the og cone filter it came with from slp because it has no name or # on it.i used k and n cleaner on it, looks alot better now.should I use the oil spray on it also before I put it back on?

Ok, thanks alot.

Now I dont know if my filter needs oil or not.it didnt seem to have red oil come out just brown water i believe.i dont know what brand it is and it has no name or numbers on it.it is a white or light grey with one single chrome strip down it.the black rubber top has 3 circles on it.waiting for a response before I oil it or not dont know if it matters and it wont let me post pics from my phone or tablet to show filter.

I mean worst case scenario just measure the space available the best you can and get a filter from someone like K&N who offers like 8 trillion difference sizes of filters to choose from. Just get the biggest dimensions you can for the space available. Or if you dont care about keeping it original, rip out the box and sell it or something and run open cone.

Ill try it without oil.if I dont like it ill just take the box out.thanks everyone!

Or if anyone has a kandn or similar auto parts store brand # thats a direct match that would be better.

I already tried that and the spectre dont fit in the airbox and dont know if k&n has one.
