Angry K&N = ****

seriously, im sick of them. 2 filters gone. 80$ a piece. i tighten them down until the screw pops, then tighten them until its about to pop again. STILL they fall off somewhere on the road. wtf. im beginning to hate cars. especially mine.

dude, you probably just got the wrong diameter filter, K&N, or rather its subsidiaries have a range of diameters you can buy.

might want to try a regular old ring clamp instead of those fancy ones. also, make sure the filter and pipe are clean and not oily.

it has a bend about 4" from where the filter attaches. other than that, its just a straight 3" pipe to a 3" cone filter.
