I would suggest you take one of the ones you still have left to a fastener shop and have them measure and get you new ones.

IMO, UNI foam filters (filter supplied by Comptech in their intake kit) are a very poor design. They let in more dirt particles and flow less than the cotton gauze filters made by AFE and K&N. I personally put an AFE filter in my Comptech box and am very happy with it.

AFE makes a larger filter that fits in the Comptech box. It is identical construction as the K&N, just different color. I replaced mine with it. I think the number is XXXXXXXX???

Did I get .00001hp out of it for the $50 I spent? Probably not... but psychological peace of mind is enough for me.

The filter number is actually AFE24-55507.

on a semi related note, anyone have the sizing for the screws used to bolt in the Comptech CAI lid? I lost most of mine over time...

When that happened to me, I called Comptech and told them. They sent me a handful for free.

I put a lock washer under each one and have not had a problem since.

been there, tried that (including HDepot, Lowes, ACE). The problem is the pitch of the threads. They all seem to carry the same selection of stainless hardware, and none had the correct one.

I gave up and just called Comptech. Got them a few days later in the mail.

I also suggested to Comptech that they include lock washers in their hardware packet to prevent this exact thing.....but as usual noone listens to me......just like my girlfriend.
