Green filters *Warning, they dont fit*

[viperpilot99]

Just got part # 2130 which is what it calls for. Tryyed to put them in and just to tall plus not even as wide as the K&N. these are not a exact fit part and not even edge to edge fit! Looks like Ill try those S&Bs that roe is selling. I hope they fit like the k&n?

 

[cyaford]

The S&Bs I ordered from Roe fit like a glove.

 

[PittsburghRT]

I have S&B filters too and they seem to fit good.

I put greens on my 01 two years ago. They fit perfectly in the stock air box.

Is there a problem with the K&N's that is forcing everyone to go another route?

 

[Warren S]

That's strange. I have the Green Filters on my '02 GTS and they fit fine. To first get them to fit just right, I cut those little tabs to whatever length.

We never had any fitment problems with the Green Filters, but one wonders if they got coded wrong. We have had K&Ns, and others , accidentally coded wrong from the factory ( in the past ) and though this is very,very rare, it could have occurred also with the Green Filters. I would send them back or contact the seller and have them check for you. All three ( K & N , Roe, Green ) make quality products and this sounds like a mismatched control number in my humble opinion.

Looking to improve and try something different. I think those S&Bs offer an even bigger open area then the k&n's.

You know that might be it? Two guys here just said they fit great?? This is like 2mm to tall so just to fit them in on top to bottom I need to use a think flat head and and smother it in where the pleated filtration element starts to compress down and warp. Then the element its self is not edge to edge there is a half inch of space left in the box?? The K&n in does not do this, it fits edge to edge all the way with a perfect fit.

These greens had no tabs. They were ready out of the box???

 

[viperpilot99]

Whats the best way to put up pictures? I want to show some shots of the greens next to the k&n in the box.

The part numbers are correct. Did the filters come in sealed clear plastic? Mine did.

I don't know if my pics will still pull up from Imagestation, but here it goes, if you see red "x" then linky no worky...

Cool pics and yes sealed like you say but mine do not have those tabs as I say? You have them sticking out but these dont have anything that sticks out??? That image station looks like a cool place to put pictures. Let me try that.

I wonder if the wrong part was packed in the correctly labeled box. Maybe their packaging dept screwed up? Part revision w/o the tabs?

Here are the two filters in my box. The k&n fits flush and edge to edge the green does not. Green is also noticeably smaller.

Here you can see the green filter removed with no tabs. Also note that I had to use A high level of force to rip them out. As I said for them to even fit I had to smother them in with a flat head forcing it in slowing pushing in the rubber once inch at a time.

In this picture you can see that the k&n does have more surface filtering area over the green. I believe that the s&b has even more then the k&n using even less rubber mold and more filter area.


The insert image option didn't load the pictures so I just left the links. Hope that works

Thanks for the heads up on the imagestaion but I just got the account. Ill try the others one once this dont work.

Anyhow both filters are the same so not just the one. Also, it does not that "If your green filter does NOT have centering fitments tabs engineering has found that there is no need for that with your airbox. Now those tabs are on the sides? The problem im having is with top to bottom plus the filter element portion is not even filling up the space in the box edge to edge. the rubber on the outside does but just not the filtering area on the other side.

 

[Warren S]

Can't see 'em, red "x"s. Try right clickling on the image first, copy the link where its says properties, not from the top address window. The link should end with a ".jpg"

Nothing that says properties after clicking and looking around. I did it another way? Maybe it worked?

Humm, they must have made a "revision". Does it say "Made In France", mine has that.

 

[Warren S]

Your aftermarket carbon fiber airbox must be slightly larger than stock. If I remember correctly, a few owners had fitment problems with the K&N's on the stock boxes, something to do with the clips, perhaps because the seal on the K&N is larger than stock.

I think the Green's were slightly smaller than stock, top to bottom. But I had to cut the tabs on the sides to get them to fit just right.

 

[viperpilot99]

Nop no made in France. Just Green filters USA on the box.

 

[Warren S]

Go with the K&N's. I think the seal on them is slightly larger (wider or taller) than stock, but for your CF airbox, it fits fine. That CF airbox was probably designed around the K&N. Go with what works for your application.

Interesting? So the k&ns fit to big on the stock air box? So guys with ACRs have problems as well you think?

I wonder how the s&b fit in my box then?

Your right I tried to improve things with the Greens but oh well.

I have not changed my filters because the previous owner said he had just replaced them. i checked them out and they dont look like either the green or K&N...they are a white paper with a Very thick grey solid foam attached to it . the foam has a thick oil on in them. they look very clean . what kind of filter did he install... Mopar Stock? 94 RT/10

Do you happen to have a picture of them?

Go with Greens. I gained 100 HP with Greens. Honest.

Wow I was only hoping to get 1/4 of an hp. I wanted to match my .28cc RC car in power gain.

LOL. Hell, leave the damn things out! Must get you at least 2 HP!
