Moroso CAI Filter

[garym221987]

I just got a used Moroso CAI and the filter on it looks worn and a little bit wrinkled. Does anyone know where i can get a new filter for it? I've checked Jegs and they want 62 dollars for the filter. Are there any other alternatives? Cheaper? Maybe different brand filter that will fit. thanks

Lol thats a completely different filter than a moroso, but thanks anyways

how is it completely different, the filter that comes with the moroso is just like the one that comes with the K&N... the only thing different about that ebay filter is that it has an inverted end which actually increases the amount of filtration

I guess I had never seen the bottom of the moroso before, but regardless I'm sure you can find the type of filter on ebay

Lol yea i cant seem to find it on ebay. Should of just got a K&N CAI to begin with i guess haha

[IronOutlaw]

I need to check the filter on my car. I hope its not in bad shape. I definitly dont want to pay over 50 bucks for a filter.

I may try to make the honda filter posted above work with lots of duct tape.

Are there any other alternatives? Cheaper? Maybe different brand filter that will fit. thanks


just because it is not an exact copy does not mean it will not work as good.

yea but the bottom ovular part will not fit from the ebay filter posted, as it is circular

[96lt1m6]

i did say "something like" ........just tryin to help
just tossin it out there,LOL

[Z28pr0jekt]

yea i tried cross referencing on a couple sites and I couldn't really find much for that filter

[96lt1m6]

that's the thing i DO NOT like about the MOROSO the oval section.:doh:

yes but like he said he was looking for a cheaper alternative

[Camaro_94]

Ohh... :laugh:

I'd highly doubt anyone else would make a filter in that shape though.

[stilltime]

I'd be more than willing to bet Moroso is using the TPI/LT1 throttle body shape for the end of their intake. If that is the case then just buy K&N's TPI filter for $37.XX RC-5000.

http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=K%26N%20RC-5000&ndsp=18&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=if

It's made for the TPI/LT1 throttle bodies...chances are it will fit right up to your Moroso. Or you can buy my K&N FIPK :)

hey thanks for the suggestion but i don't need, that my filter is in bad condition. needs to be replaced.

[stilltime]

Take your intake off and hold the filter up to the tb mount of the intake. If they are the same size/shape just order the K&N one I posed a few posts back. It's only $35 and is a direct replacement. K&N PN#RC-5000

im going to try it most likely hope it works thanx

[stilltime]

That is the right filter, but it won't fit like that on your car it will hit the water neck. Like I said in my PM, just try it on the end of the Moroso. Good luck!
