Lobby K&N for air filter thread for 13-14's
In addition to filling out K&N's product request, I would like to start a petition of sorts to help get their attention. Once we get enough requests going, I plan on contacting them directly and emailing them a link to this thread. Hopefully this will demonstrate demand for the panel air filter. Please sign away. Thanks all.

Please refer to my beginning sentence. |
I don't even have any defense for that. I don't know how in the hell I missed the first sentence :lol:
Well, now everyone else has the link I guess! |
im just buying a regular intake.... the panel filter is not worth the wait or money at this point to me.
Also has anyone with a 2013-14 tried a older model airbox which takes the same filters as the evo, this would open up so much. I would rock a foam panel filter in a older airbox. if anyone has their intake pipe and box from a pre2013 model OS let me know and I will gladly test to see if it bolts in without issue. |

I'm on board for this one. I've submitted 10 requests for the filter.

Requested, and on board with the petition
|
Anything coming from this?

Initial contact with K&N was rather disappointing. Here is the info I received from the rep:
"I am sorry but we do not have information on if or when we will have an air filter for that vehicle. R&D does not release that information and I do not show we are looking for that vehicle at this time. If you have any further questions, please reply to this email or contact Customer Support at 800-858-3333." |
On another note, what is the deal with this airbox that is so different? All the aftermarket manufacturers list their filters to fit 2011-2014. When I look up an oem air filter for 2014, none of the Mitsubishi online parts places have one listed. Am I missing something? Does a 2011 filter fit in a 2014 box?

THIS > aka "diaper filter" :mad: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n...629_101744.jpg We had discussed this issue before here, Post#7 > https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ou...-services.html |
Does this look correct or mis-advertisement? http://www.autopartsway.ca/PartDetai.../pagenum1/tabS

The edge-thickness looks right, BUT the "large curve"-corner** is missing on the K&N... Look at my photo of the OEM filter and compare for yourself. Granted it could be just a generic photo from K&N, but it is by far the closest thing I'm seen. Maybe you should order it and see... and report back ;) **by my thumb (in my photo) |
