Cheap air filters for CAI
Other than ebay does anyone have any good shops to buy cone filters for a CAI? My filter is pretty dirty and its time for a new one. I would rather buy a new one than having to clean the old one, but my intake is a cheap ebay one (it was only $10 for an injen style). Ive seen some filters on ebay for 30-50 dollars and before I buy one off there wanted to see if anyone knew of other online places to look first.

agreed, you can cheap out on the piping, but the filter does the dirty work (pun totally intended)
I'd go with an aem dryflow personally. Some will say K&N but its your call either way

I highly recommend Spectre Air Filters which I paid about $20 from Kragen for my cone air filter. I like them better than K&N because you don't have to oil them after you clean them and they cost 1/2 as much. I think you can even buy them from Summit Racing now. View my garage if you want to see the one im talking about.

I swear i have posted this before somewhere but, spectra filters are junk. aem and k&n are pretty comparable, the local tuning shop dynoed a 240sx with the sr motor in it with the spectra filter then switch to a k&n and had a few hp increase(3 or 4 hp), without changing the tune. They used a few other filters as well including aem and a ebay knock of ones. This all done on a dynomax dyno system. its the red box that sits on the ground and attaches to your hub.
