Which is it? And where do you get it? Local places, or online? How often do you clean/replace them?

Umm wow, D: All of the above? All parts stores and online parts sources sell 14x3's. My RAC is an AEM DryFlow. I clean it at every service on my truck. The AEM flows alot of air, and since its a dry filter you don't have to oil it. Just wash it and let dry, and reinstall. I have a regular paper filter that came with my Edelbrock that I use while my AEM is out and drying.

Maybe someone can add the 14x3 filter to the DIY or FAQ section.

Also, Somewhere I was reading you have to bend and cut something.

I want your setup if you don't mind, do you have part numbers for the filter or just say I want an Edelbrock 14x3 and the AEM filter that will fit it?

Thank Mud, there is a DIY for doing the RAC conversion. You have to bend an s bolt( made from 5/16" diameter all thread). The Edelbrock was 30, the AEM was 50. Both available from Summit
