K&N = Sh!t
 

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.

hmm... havent had that problem...

You mean they won't stay tight with the t-bolt clamps?

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

3 " pipe = 3 " k&n. no mater what clamps. i have a sock covering it fastened by a hairbow right now. i cant do anything else...

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.

a ring clamp, is that the one with the screw laying on the side and you jsut use a phillips head? thats what ive been using.

thats the one... i dont see why that wouldn't work. hmmm

is your pipe tapered?

I'm sorry. I'll give them back.

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.

Short Ram Air Intake (w/2 filters)...I'm happy and it only costed me $35.

it looks wick3d to boot ;) saw it in person.
