    Replacment filter
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2012*

I had to order this filter due to my truck not having any down time. I see its been redesigned from the rubber base to a plastic base. K and N told me that it was redesigned due to a flaw in the rubber compound. Would have been nice of them to inform me. Shipper was very speedy and excellent.
