Well I decided to detail my engine bay yesterday so I wrapped a plastic bag around the filter on my AEM CAI. Well not paying enough attention I started the motor like the can of CD2 Detailer said, and ended up collapsing the filter . It now looks like a roll of paper towels with the middle squeezed in. I know it's not gonna hurt for pulling in air like this, but I know it'll hinder the performance....plus it just looks like crap. Does anyone know where I can get just the filter? I went to the parts store and looked at all the K&N and FRAM elements but none seemed to fit. All of them had a hard plastic ring that wouldn't slide around the adapter that mounts the filter to the MAF meter. I figured I might could call someone at AEM to get just the filter but if I could get it locally that would be better.

 

hey try www.macmidwest.com , thats where i got one

 

Did you do the same thing? I looked at AEM's website last night, and apparently the same thing might have happened to other people because they have a ton of replacement filters for the kits.

 

hah, same thing happened to me once, i have the k&n fipk,

i bought from a non sponsor, google search worked great with part number that i had.
