Just a really silly question, but why? Is this just for maint?

Here's a better question. Where can I buy the replacement filter online? Cant find it anywhere.

I feel stupid, I didn't even know that was there.

Thank GOD (DMAG) we have this Knowledge Base here!

I guess I actually feel more Knowledgable now!

If you dont have one...yes ... you can order the complter kit for a little bit more than what hte filter would cost from the dealer...

Gee, it seems like every mod I've done before joining this forum has already been detailed. It is a great deal for $20 to get the $25 alone filter with the plenum. Just a note, there is a wire harness clipped to the bottom of the plenum that has to be released before removing the plenum. It's similar to a Christmas tree fastener. Also, use care when remoming the foam block seals on the outer edges of the cowl screens. The have intergral Christmas tree fasteners- get a clip tool under the seals or else you will rip the seals.
