anyone have any clue which direction this goes in???? when i put it in with the "ralliart" up, and the red aluminum down, i can't put the cover back on..


Anyone?

 

so try it the other way.

 

it fits upside down.... but ... thats upside down

 

Then it really isn't upside down, is it?

I know the Toms filter for the IS300 is the same way. The lettering is on the side facing the MAF. Damn japanese.

 

ok thats the way i put it in.....wasn't sure. just thought i'd check

 

the red aluminum faces up... and it's still a really tight fit...

it took me a few minutes to figure it out as well...

 

is the ralliart filter washable so you can reuse it? You don't put oil in it like the K&N right?

 

Which ever way you put in... the metal gauze is under the foam.. else the intake will suck the foam into a cone...

 

angel of mercy, do you know if it is reusable or not though?

 

its good up to 200,000km or so they say... dry type filter... 3 layers of foam of different densities... maintenance is take it out every 3 months.. clean out using air gun from course side to fine.. and drop back in... i guess its usable until the foam breaks down..
