I have a C&L Racer intake and the filter was touching the metal part underneeth it and it got burn a little bit. I want to replace it. Would any filter like this would do:

or would it be recomended to get the same one from C&L ??????????

I don't see why you couldn't use another filter. As long as the diameter is correct where it connects to the tube, why not? The cone style filter that comes from C&L looks just like a K&N anyway. I'd be willing to bet that it flows similarly also

And I guess the main question is how can I raise the pipe so the filter won't be touching the lower part anymore ???

it got burned?? please explain because there is nothing that it would touch that would be that hot?

I'm scratching my head on this one, too. How about a few pics?

There are a few choices for replacement conical filters. Amsoil sells a dry filter that I consider to be a decent replacement. I had googled this issue about a year back and if I recall, there are a few different filters, both dry and oiled, to choose from that will work fine.

its not burned....its caused from the rubbing. Its not going to harm anything but i dont think the installation is quite right to rub that much

I had a rub on mine,
just loosen the mounting screws and raise the end of the intake a bit to prevent any rubbing.

even with the larger filter I have no rub.
A friend of mine just added a thick rubber O-ring to fix his rub, but I like repositioning the intake better myself.




and no more oily mess.

That's a nice looking air filter ShadyNinja. Definately an under-hood, "Wow", modification!
How much was it? Does it filter and flow better than the old school oil wetted K&N? I've heard they do.

It was under $50 with my amsoil discount.
