Exact size? No. But from what I remember, I think I found one that was about 1" longer or so. So it would probably touch the stillen plastic side but probably not require cutting. I've posted it but I don't have time to dig for it.

you are such a brand name *****.

The R2C filter design is much better than anything else on the market. However, I've never seen dyno numbers to prove it's effectiveness in terms of power.

yeah, it won't last that long lol. This is all marketing bs.

I remember the thread about the 1" longer size... the filter that comes with Stillen already touches front of heat shield, so I dont think it will accomodate another 1"... I was thinking you found another size.

I think it would fit w/o cutting but that's a guess. But unless you want to cut and go R2C or try to size an AEM, this is about it.

I plan to eventually get an alternate oiled filter (JWT) - that way I can always have one ready when its time to clean... If I could find a perfect fit dry filter I'd do it - but the JWT fits good, so I'll just do that (whenever all these tedious projects are done)...

If I remember correctly he was making hp gains he could not back up with a dyno. For $300+, from a company most have not heard of, people wanted dyno graphs.

At night I clean the stillen and put it somewhere to dry. Next morning, I wake up early, oil the filter and install it before going to work. Easy.

of course - thats what I do too... but its more convenient to have one already cleaned and oiled when ready to swap... different preferences I guess.

For the short time your substitute is in there, any BS filter with a 6" base would work. Even one that's shorter than the stillen. It wouldn't be on there for more than a day.
