It all depends on the intake your getting next, a Stillen filter from a pop charger wont ever fit a Place Racing style CAI... Its like asking will my 18 inch rims off my Honda Civic fit my next car?... Depends on how many lugs, offset, etc...

If you're feeling motivated, you could just start a cardomain.com account and throw the pictures on there... It's actually really easy

all cone filters are universal as long as the intake diameter is the same (3")...

you could put that same filter (if 3") on a short ram, stock setup, injen, or pr style...

its common sense really...

i thought the stillen would fit any intake... it is 3" right? i know the filter istelf isn't but the metal piece that goes inside is right? ive seen it on a short ram setup before...

Not all are 3" but the majority are... the part where it bolts up to the intake is not the problem... the problem is clearance on where it is going to sit. CAI filters for the place racing tend to be long almost like a cylinder. Pop charger filters are very wide in diameter and the stock Injen one is very small.. especially if you have an Auto it will hit against the shift linkage

true, not all of them fit in the same locations, but they will fit on the pipe... i wasn't thinking about them fitting in certain spots...

When you have these filters, what size do you want? Also, How do you clean them? Are you supposed to get a whole new filter??? I am thinking of getting one.
