RRM SRI Filter fell apart...auto zone solution
4 Attachment(s)
So ill try to make a long story short:
my SES light has been coming on and going off for the past few months at random times (most recently on my trip down to Atlantic City) i got so tired of this i disconnected the battery and it went away but it still bothered me. so i check out my engine bay and notice the filter that came with my RRM SRI was a bit dirty so i took it off to clean and noticed the metal cap just fell off in my hands and i saw it was rusty and filthy as hell. so i went to autozone for a quick fix and because i had seen Spectre filters there. so sum girl who knows nothing gives me the closest one to the RRM filter but i notice its a 3" opening and it was the smallest they had. i tried it out in the parking lot and saw it wasnt going to so i bout a coupler i know is meant for metal tubing, but it worked just fine with the filter and RRM intake. check it out and let me know what you think. this is meant to be a temp fix until i get a better filter but from reviews and using it all day today i can tell u it might stay on a little longer than i planned. link to product Spectre Filter p.s. sorry for the bad quality pics, taken with my blackberry |
im sure most everyone that has the SRI has had the same problem..including me..the filter is garbage..im selling the whole pos this month and getting the injen cai

lolz my metal cap fell off a while back too..i have the v2, i havent had ne problems with it tho...i herd some dude switched his filter to a K&N and had the sam prob about the 3" opening..what he did was cut off the section from the rrm filter that goes around tubing and used that with the K&N filter..what i mean is he put that section inside the 3" opening then clamped it down..kind of like an adapter

Aem sells dry (no oiling) cone filters with the 2.5 inch opening that rrm uses. They are $52. I will try this filter if and when my rrm filter decides to fall apart like everyone elses.

Or what about running the filter without the cap? It's only a cosmetic piece anyway. You could have saved money that could have went on your future K&N filter :lol: |

Gluing it back on the filter wasn't an option? :confused:

Search google on the Spectre filters. A domestic guy ran one on his car and it imploded, sucking all the components into his turbo. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Better go with a product that's proven its durability. K&N all the way {thumbup}

Sux man, I got the Injen CAI and it is holding up great. Since I got the GTS, had to relocate the Trans cooler. The kit came with the brackets so no problem. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.
