Hey guys,
Im looking to buy a PR CAI, but i want to go with a K&N filter as opposed to a monster flow. I know the part number for K&N is ru2820. That is the coffee can shaped filter with the solid top. I was looking at different filter options and came across the extreme filters that have the filter media on the top too, so it would pull air in from the sides and the top. Now would this run a greater risk of sucking up water or might this be a slightly better filter for the CAI??? All help or ideas is appreciated. Thanks
Here are the links for the filters.

all 3" filters fit and you wont suck water

 

if you are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY scared of water, go get yourself an AEM bypass valve.

 

and a pair of shorts cuz you gotta be in some pretty deep water

 

hahaha! all good points guys, im not too scared of water just wanted to b get a few other opinions. Thanks much

 

I suggest getting the Apexi filter rather than the K&N. You won't risk screwing up your MAF with K&N filter oil. Every CAI filter will get wet down there but you'll only suck water up the pipe if the filter is immersed. Unless you plan on driving through rivers and streams, this won't be a problem for you. The AEM bypass valve is a waste of money.

 

I agree with you on the apexi filter idea, but is it narrow enough to fit into the fender?? I dont wanna drop 80 bucks to not have it fit. That and i think id need some kind of special apexi adapter too.

 

It'll fit. Here are pics of my setup.




(should've rotated the pic 90 degrees...oh well)

Anyway, just get the filter, rubber tube, metal clamps and the adapter bracket. I think Berk sells it as a CAI adapter kit for the Apexi filter. Good luck.

 

why is that? are you sayin its a waste for our cars or for all cars?

 

Unless you plan on driving through 12" deep water, yes they are pointless for our cars. However as a product it works very well. I'm sure there are many uses for it in other applications...
