Southwest Autoworks k&n "style" filter

I asked if SWauto has a K&N RU-2820 because I want to use paypal and they accept it. I got this reply:

with the cone at the end? that sounds like a intake pipe with a filter

anyhow, a filter is a filter (cept if u get foam)

i just changed my filter to the k&n RU-2820, got it from the local Kragen's, or auto shop ,costs around $29. it works great, replaced my Injen stock filter. the Injen filter is really bad, and get dirty so quick and really hard to clean.

the k&n is a little bigger than the stock Injen, and the airflow is much better and the car runs smoother with it now. i would recommend others to swap the stock Injen filter to a k&n filter.
