That looks like the same air filter that Buschur sells.

 

Well, its inexpensive, so I'm reluctant to see how they could be making money on it (except maybe for a shipping charge that is added)

Two observations.. the filter looks to be decent quality, but a K&N filter is about $25 without an adapter..

the second observation is the adapter looks to be cast aluminum, and appears to be decent quality...

But it just seems too cheap, though after shipping and handling, if they buy the filters really cheap, it could be about that..

Buy one and find out.. Its cheap enough to buy the product to review..

 

Those look like the ones that are not able to hold the filter on. The filter tends to slide of the adapter when you tighten the clamp.

 

Might just be for the adapter plate itself and not the filter. Be cautious.

 

I just bought one. Filter included
I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

 

looks like plastic

 

You should wait a little. there are 4 inch adapters that go on ebay every once and a while. I got mine with 4 in filter for 25 shipped. the only problem is that there isnt a bracket to hold it up. I made one in about 20 mins with parts from my garage. Overall I couldnt be happier.

 

Received the air filter and adapter today. Adapter is plastic. Did not come with any hardware or directions. Filter seems to be decent quality. I installed it, but it seems like it doesn't fit in the bay real well. It kind of bumps up against the washer fluid reservoir.
