Default ARC intake replacement filter

I cant seem to find any arc replacement filters left on this planet and I have no idea when their new company is or if theyre going to produce any new filters so I am wondering if there is a comparable k&n or a/c filter or random foam or durable panty hose I can use as a replacement filter?

I thought the ARC filters are reusable, is your's damaged? You may have to adapt a K&N panel filter to the ARC box if you can find one close to the ARC dimensions.

It's not damaged I'd rather not damage it trying to clean it. If there was a way to preserve the oe filter is like to, or even better, find someone with a replacement arc filter

I have no idea how to properly clean a foam filter like this. Can you elaborate on how you cleaned it?

I put it in the bath tub, i got it soaking wet, sprayed simple green on it. Then i scrubbed it with my fingers causing the simple green to foam up, as you scrub you will notice it cleans the dirt and dark spots and will turn back the original red color. Them rinse and repeat if necessary. I use a blow dryer to get the filter mostly dry and then let it air dry for the rest of the day. I have used the approach to clean many arc filters as well as HKS and greddy foam element filters and have never had any issues with them.
