Replacement K&N cone on Injen?

Hi guys my Injen Cone cracked and I was wondering if anyone has replaced theirs with a K&N one. Specifically what part number K&N you used.
I'm not completely lazy, I tried to search but couldnt find anything. I went here to find the Replacement part http://www.injen.com/application_intakes.html which is an X10-11 but they dont seem to be selling it anymore at Injen. I went here to find the specs of the filter http://www.injen.com/filters.html and looked here to try to find an equivilant http://www.knfilters.com/search/univround.aspx but cant seem to do so, there are so many options.
I'd prefer a rectangular one and I know its a 3 opening. Could anyone who has done this respond.

Hey guys dont miss a chance to correct a noob for not being able to do a proper search on the ORG.

callmezeus,

I want to ask you about the Injen CAI. Do you experience a decrease in fuel economy while using it? Since it is place behind the radiator fan, it doesn't suck in that much of cold air. Also, do you experience a buzzing kind of noise when accelerating hard? I have the Injen intake for a while now, I was thinking to replace it with a custom short ram intake.

Suggestions,

Please

Just get the Berk Short Ram, I got mine a few months ago and I love it.

I had the GAB for a long time and the Berk was a nice little upgrade.

Thanks for the replies but uhhh.... I didnt see any answers.
To answer the previous questions, I dont know if I can feel the 3-5 horsepower difference top end. I'm going to try to convert it to a short ram as soon as I get the filter. I'm honestly trying to get out of doing anymore extensive mods on the car. I'm pretty much broke and mostly all of my turboed friends are killing me at the track and on the street. If it is a whining noise, it might be a motor mount, yes the autotragic maximas have electronic motor mounts that go wacky.
Speaking of the car I had to Change out the axels 2 days ago...every problem I find common on the forum has happened to me. 1.CV joints(Axels)2. Motor mounts 3. MAF 4. F-ing ignition coils 5. Damn slipping tranny.

Enough of my *****ing, ANYONE REPLACED THIER INJEN FILTER w/ a K&N? That is all I want to know, I dont want this to be another which intake is....... I just want to replace my filter and need some advice on it.

I'd imagine a K&N would work great. I think the Injen uses a 3" inlet like most intakes?

Your local Autozone or Advance Auto (or hell, I even saw K&N's at WALMART the other day...) may have a suitable one.

i think the injen filter IS a k&n, look at it long and hard, then look at a k&n long and hard, i bet you wont see a difference. Id say go for whichever one is cheaper.

I see your guys logic. I'll just have someone drive me and the filter to autozone.

yeah, pretty sure I've heard that too. Probably any 3" inlet cone filter would work.
