Stillen G III intake..... WTF??

Wonka2581 · 04-15-2014, 02:19 PM

Ok so Im doing my oil change and I notice.... one of my Stillen G3 intake air filters has a small rip in the filter... So I call Stillen to get a price for a new filter and they want... $43.00 a pop.... WTF

Does anyone know if I can find a place that selles the flter cheaper?? Autozone maybe?

Stillen said they are the only ones that have the filters for the intake... is this true??

Go to the K&N website with the dimensions of the filter you need. No way Stillen is the only one who can get them. In their defense though, that's not an unreasonable price for a conical K&N filter.

Nope. If they're the same filter as the G37 I can get you a measurement this weekend.

Wonka2581 · 04-15-2014, 02:25 PM

I believe they are... lso would it matter if I got a diffrent size K&N? if it does not matter I can go to AutoZone and just pick one up.

If your autozone has K&N filters, that would work. All I remember seeing at my local one was Spectre garbage, so I couldn't tell you. Would two different sized filters have different enough flow characteristics to confuse the car?

Honestly, I'd just get it from Stillen. Their price isn't that bad. I paid about that for each K&N I've got.

Wonka2581 · 04-15-2014, 02:32 PM

Ok got ya...

Wonka2581 · 04-15-2014, 02:33 PM

Before I order, Should I get 2 new ones or just get the one...

They are not the same. The G is conical and the Z is a cylinder.

The filters for the Gen 3's are K&N's...and yes, they're about $40 each.
K&N Part RU-2820
