Yeah, it doesn't look like that AEM filter will fit in a stock air box.

BTW... you ppl that run naked aftermarket filters, how do you keep water out of the filter? Like it unexpectedly starts raining, while driving?

Thanks!

I too wanted to stay with OEM as I believe it filters better. Here is my OEM filter on the K&N FIPK intake. I'm quite pleased with this setup.

That is self adhesive thermal insulation. It is about 1/8" of dense foam rubber bonded to the reflective aluminum foil. The idea is that I want to keep the temperature as low as possible for any air that comes over top of the radiator and then into the intake. Cold air = power

I figure it's good for an additional 25 hp...
