K&N's in place of foam filters
I know I read on here that guys with Greddy kits swapped out the very cheap foam filters in place for some higher quality K&N's or similar filters. I looked in the search section but couldnt find it. Any help? I have the foam filters on my Greddy kit and wouldnt mind swapping them out. Thanks

Wow, no one? Come on guys, I know I read about this last summer or fall so some of you have this. I am dying for the exact filter part #. I cant remeber if there was any other brand but K&N but I want something better than the foam.

Will the filter fit on the Greddy piping? I see why you put the elbow on it but I have my catch can on the other side. So I wouldnt need to. I dont think the size of the filter makes a difference when making power. But I would like something more reliable than the foam. I like the size of these. I thought the tubing was a 3" dia? I think this filter is a 2.5" dia. Thanks

Thanks guys, I like the idea of using the extrems but I cant get on the K&N website!!! I just went and measured and unlike some of these guys I dont think I can use a filter any longer than 4". Any longer on either side and I will hit my radiator support. Thanks for the links and help guys. I really appreciate it.

He is correct 2.75.....Stay away from foam.

It just worked out for me that I ordered a pair of the RX-4960's today! The only thing is I also have a koyo R core radiator. I wonder if that will affect how much space I have? I know there is a lip on the inside of the filter. Was it easy to push past it without hurting the filter? Thanks, Robert
