    AFE II Replacement Filter

    It has been an ordeal to finally get my new replacement filter and cleaning kit! We had emailed (well at least I had) and the response was horrible. It took at least a month to get the thing in the mail, very poor email response and no call backs! I don't know how they stay in business nowadays with everyone on the web.
    Anyway, the filter and cleaning kit finally got here and I got excited, until I opened the filter package...The filter that they sent me was a 'Monster'! I got pretty upset thinking that after all this hassle just to get the order, that they had sent me the wrong filter...Here it is...on the right side...HUGE....



    Top view...



    The old one on the left has been in the car for about 14 months...I know...I know...
    Anyway, I got to really looking at it and the pipe opening was the same..Got me to thinking that this was some kind of new upgraded filter that might come with it if you buy it new today...I bought mine back 14 months ago and it came with the little dude on the left...
    I loosened the bolts and started to see if it would fit...low and behold it did!



    Its a little tight but other than that she is in!



    So was this a mistake? or just how they come now?

    The thing fits though...you don't think it will cause problems or be an issue do you?

    No as long as it isn't rubbing you should be fine the bigger the filter the better I think but is it perfectly sealed to the tube?

    Yep, seems to be. The opening and collar matched perfectly. I was more worried about the overall length and it just not fitting into the area. It's cinched up tight just like the old one. It does sound better at WOT.....

    Well maybe it is the new model and I jut hadn't noticed how big the filter was on that one! Most people like everything about the AFE but the Airaid has a bigger filter. Looks like you got the best of both! lol

    Yeah I have the AFE and my filter is like your old one. You only have to clean them every 30,000 miles so you were still good.

    No that's not right at all, contact like that will mar the cars paint and the filter will distort in time.

    My plan is still to clean the old one and have it ready to swap once this one gets around to being cleaned, or in your scenario, starts to distort. I'll have to watch it, I guess and can now change them out as I quick as I want... Best of both worlds!

    You may want to, if they haven't emailed you a confirmation/tracking number...they haven't process it...

    good luck...if I hadn't given them my credit card info, I would have gone elsewhere. I don't understand their thinking of losing sales like this...

    I'd have to look at the charges but for this filter and the cleaning kit it was like right at $80.00. I didn't think that was too bad...

    Two posters on the 'other' forum verified that they had purchased this CAI within the last 6 months and they recieved the same filter. So now this thread can RIP.....
