Paper cone air filter??

[Brian Miller_dup1]

EDIT:

Just did a search, and I think I found out everything I need

I'm getting a Roush cold air intake for my Ranger (dirt cheap is the main reason that I ordered it). Checking on the Roush website, this kit comes with a K&N cone.

I'm not real excited about running a K&N on my truck, and was wondering if you guys can list the cars/trucks that use paper cone filters. This was I can look online and try to match one up to the size of the K&N cone.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Look into the AEM Dryflow filters. They aren't the oiled cotton-gauze filters like K&N. So far, they look to be really good filters and they are even re-useable.

Just order one that is the same size as the K&N that is included with your kit.

98 Chevy truck, it's a great big paper filter with a 3.5-3.75" inlet.

Here is the Fram Air Filter #:

CA9345 This is what I use on my Supercharged GTP.

Is that a cone filter? The only two cone/cylindrical filters I've found are the Chevy one and the S2000 one. The Chevy truck one is great if you have a large engine compartment like me, but other cars are more difficult.

That is the Chevy filter number.

Actually, that's a different filter. The one I use is for a 98 Chevy pickup, that one apears to be for a 02+ trailblazer. Good find though, that one might be a bit cheaper. What are the Dimensions?

Another one to look at I just remembered is a 02+ Neon.

Keith, Are you sure? My dad has a 97 Chevy with the 5.7 Vortec. It has a huge cone. I looked it up by that year. Maybe its the same as the trailblazer? Ill get back to you on the dimensions, but it fits the Home Depot ABS pipe perfectly.

 

[SMILEY]

It measures at 7 and 3/4" long with a 3 and 1/2" ID.

Is this the same dimensions as yours?

 

[T-Keith]

Fram's site didn't show pictures so I punched the number into Purolator's. That's what came up.

 

[T-Keith]

Actually the one I used is bigger, but you may have stumbled upon another good size to use.

 

[SMILEY]

And I thought mine was big

Thats interesting, what are the dimensions of yours?

Smiley.. do you have a pic of your intake setup? I have a Bonneville supercharged and lookin @ setup ideas. ( main goal is to make it look as stock as possible

 

[SMILEY]

I dont right now. Ill see what I can do. The factory intake is on my car now because I got the lower intake gasket replaced under warranty. I will be putting the fenderwell intake back on soon. Ill try to take a few shots for ya. It might be a few days. Im a bit under the weather

 

[T-Keith]

The one I'm using is about 6-1/2" in diameter, and 10-1/2" long. It's pretty big, and like I said, probably a tight fit in a lot of engine compartments.

 

[SMILEY]

Thanks for the info Keith. The diameter of mine is 6". I dont think I could use one as big as yours. I just dont think it would fit in my fenderwell. Either way, you pointed me in the right direction some time ago. Thanks bro.
