Drop in Filters

Anybody find any Drop in Filters for the GE?

K&N still does not have them.

Anybody know where I can get the Spoon Air Filter?

I tried calling my local dealership and they keep saying its backordered for the OEM Air Filters.

Thanks!

Almost all of the Drop in filters that are sold in Japan are around 90$~120$.. small gains can be felt down low and mileage is up.. but only a little.... You have to ask your self is it worth it... for the price... some people it is.. some it`s not....

I ordered a J's Racing drop in filter. The reason I don't want to go with a cold air is because we usually get a lot of rain in the spring and I don't want to flood my engine. Plus I'm waiting for some kind of forced induction to come out...I'll post the results on the drop in when I get it.

How much did the J's drop-in filter set you back, if I could ask?

^^Yes. we have some roads that don't evacuate the water really well and my friend flooded is engine (broken piston rod) last year as a result of flooded roads and a cold air intake. This is what our streets look like in June! :
