Maxima GLE 2003 Air Filter

i am going to change the air filter with a K&N filter, but don't know the size of the existing filter- i called the parts dept. but they could not tell me any size.
the K&N 33-2031-2 is 11"x 6 5/8" , but i don't know if it's the correct filter to order ?
please advise

thanks
(love my new GLE )

Save your money and buy an FSTB instead. K&N gives nothing in performance cepts lost cashflow. Anybody want to dispute please post a Dyno to prove cuz I'd luv 2 c 1.

Some of us run with a drop in for low maintenance and not having to replace filters. I for one can tell some advantages but don't feel like running to a dyno for it.

Here's a thought...why don't YOU post a dyno with and without to prove YOUR case?

Ok, maybe a little harsh, but I have a K&N Drop-In and noticed no diff except a loss of ~$50 + $10 for cleaner kit. That's enough to buy about 10 regular air filters or one FSTB. My point is that an FSTB is better bang for the buck because you can actually feel the results. As for the dyno, I was basically implying that if somebody who has one already could post it that would be great, not that you run out and get one. Here's another thing, if you decide to buy an intake then the K&N is a waste, just a thought since if you're buying an aftermarket air filter you may be the type to further mod your car.
