Looking for a very short Air filter...

By teal_dx
- Fri Jun 05, 2009 6:57 pm #120899 With the placement of my turbo, I am going to need a very short air filter.
I just got back from Summit where they looked through an entire catalog of K&N filters only to find 1 that was short enough, but the wrong dia (was 5" on both ends of cone, not tapered).

The filter element cone needs to be 3.5" long.
The base of the cone needs to be 5" dia.
The tapered tip of the cone needs to be 4" dia.
inlet needs to be 3"
Where can I find a filter like this? I've seen them before!

the greddy turbo kit comes with a foam air filter so they are good enough to use on turbo aplications

Here's the filter that should work... the base is angled 5° so that should help give me the clearance I needed.
