part # for napa gold long filter
well i looked up a truck that had the k&n 2006 long filter that I use on my car and the napa equivilent said 1522 so i'm about to go get one. If anyone else is interested, i can let ya know if its right
It's pretty awesome. It sounds great and definitely woke my car up. I drive my car daily and don't have any problems
The oil filter part # listed above was correct. I held it next to my K&N 2006 and it is the same size. the K&N is heavier (probably cuz of the nut) and the top looks a little different. There are 5 holes on the top of the napa filter and they are big. On the k&n, there are 6 small holes. I imagine they are pretty similar & the napa gold is 5 bucks cheaper

FYI: The WIX direct X-ref to the K&N 2006 is the 51045 which would be the Napa 1045, same filter. See it here: http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlook...asp?Part=51045 The WIX filters are available through AMSOIL.
The Long AMSOIL filter for comparison would be the EaO64 and this is what I run on my little 5.3 Silvy. The recommended car size is the shorter EaO32.

i know the napa 1042 & the k&n 1007 is the stock length. I got the 1522 because i went on k&ns website & looked up a truck that uses the k&n 2006, then I entered it in on the napas site and right above the k&n2006 was the napa gold 1522.
i've had no problem with the long filter since i got my car 5 years ago & i've driven over some strange things. A guy ran into me a few weeks ago & my car flew up on the curb. I looked at it on a lift at the body shop a few days later and my engine crossmember was horribly dented but my oil filter was still fine! My headers & exhaust pipes sit lower than the filter also

i think i'll stick with my napa 1522 instead of exchanging it for the 1045
