I know I'm gonna need this for my 2001 WS6. But MTI sells them for $19. I'm sure I've seen them for cheaper other places. Can't I just pick up this piece at a local autoparts store?

You should be able to get one at any place that sells K&N filters. I can't remember the part number off hand but maybe someone else can post that.......

The filter was only $2.50, pick up a couple if you want some replacements. The factory plastic tube clamp works perfect to attach it because it's the same size as the nozzle on the side of air silencers. I then zip tied it to a brace on the radiator. See pics.

Also, I would imagine that some form of filtration would be used for the 98-99 cars. It would make sense, but I do not know for sure.
