Stillen air filter replacement

Where is the cheapest place to get a new K&N Filter replacement for my stillen kit? I dont want to clean it, I'd rather replace it.

Thats a though 1. Due to the rather large filter becasue of the velocity stake it would be pretty hard to find 1 to match. I have that same filter and have cleaned it be4. The only thing I did different from a normal cleaning is after I oil it, I let the filter sit for a few days to make sure the oil sank in very well just as a procation to keep my MAS alive. I used my old adapter plate and K&N filter in the meantime. After I threw the still back in ive had absolutly no problems what so ever. If u still dont feel its ok to clean and reuse it then goodluck fining another 1, but If u get another 1 from stillen its gonna cost well over $150 which is a bit much for a filter.

If you have a 2k-2k1 then your MAF wont blow like the 2k2-2k3. Totally different sensitivity and oiling the filter element will not damage it either. There is a link on the K&N website that supports this. Although their opinion may be bias a lot of .org members agree. Im waiting to clean mine as well...its too bad a replacement costs so much.

Yeah I know about the MAF problems with the 3.5's. Later on this year for that reason im probably gonna keep my car for a week after I trade it in and part it out and switch the MAF sensors so ill keep my 2k1 MAF in my 2k3. Nothing else I could think of.
