Bought these about 2000mi ago. they where located under my rt rear fender. The red material turned to dust and the only thing filtering the air is what's left of the screen. The company sells these in different colors also. I thought they were Spectra knock offs and would work till I got some good reusable K&N's

I EXPECTED an air filter that would work for a slightly longer period till I could get some better quality.

These were bought from; Formula Motoring, 18021 Courtney Ct. City of Industry, CA 91748-1203, RDT Motoring.com, an E-Bay seller of many auto parts.
