Above is a K+N KRC8260E supplied by RCMS.
I also used another filter GARU-3130. This is 7.5" long cone with a 3.5" coupling.
If you have aspirations to produce much power ie. upwards of 360 bhp or thereabouts you would be as well to dispose of the APS CAK and fit the largest cone you can in the space available as you will get far more power than you can get through the filter supplied by APS and reducing the length of the inlet tract also helps. I was told by K+N Technical Department that the filter on the APS kit became restrictive, gradually, beyond 320 bhp.

cheers for the reply harvey, I have APS FMIC so induction space is a problem, the filter kit is fine and I like it but the filter has seen better days so just looking to replace it

Question

Need to replace my APS CAI filter also.

Any ideas if it would be a good idea to use this GREEN Filter instead of the K&N?

Cheers
Andy

Also see Jura's post #5.
There is a lot of variation in the price of K+N filters so shop around.
