    I just installed an Amsoil EaAU3570 filter in my JCW CAI and it fit great. Its so nice looking it's a shame to hide it.

    I used the AMSoil filter for 4 years. Access to an air compressor is nice to clean the bits out of an NC spring, but I have no complaints.

    Thx Mark! Ordered one today. Will leave the flap alone to minimize the accompanying whistle I've read about.

    Zombie revival. For anyone reading it and looking for alternatives Amsoil has a reusable non-oiled filter. I have it in both my rides.

    I'm looking at that for my wife's ST. But haven't decided yet.

    Yep, I've been running the AMSoil filter for years. I finally replaced my 5+ year old one this year. Did it need it? Probably not. But seemed like good PM after 100k miles of use.
