If anything, swap the filter itself for an S&B or an AFE Pro-Guard. They d a much better job.

As for spraying that filter, is it a paper or gauge? AEM has both kinds.
Hmmmm might be gause. It is a blue like material w a wire mesh surrounding it. Will the other filters fit this intake? I guess you probably measure the hole size & length? Can you get them at Napa or a parts store? Or just mail order?
Thanks

Measure the opening on the filter, the length and the diameter and I can find you a good one.

The local autoparts stores are only gonna have K&N crap.

I'll send ya a PM with some info.

that impeller is not hitting I finally got my computer to zoom and its fine that is how it is made... Like Coaltrain says get a different Air filter That air filter is letting dirt get by...
Plus buying a K&N from the auto parts store isn't going to be the correct filter for your set up At O'reillys they only sell the direct drop in filter for the factory box.. not sure about Autozone or Napa I drive right by them to go to O'reilly's
