K&N Filter Change

Can I just buy another filter to go on my k&n intake instead of buying another whole setup, just seems like a waste of money to me to do that.

Why do need another filter ?? If you need one you can get them from most parts stores.

Any clamp on style filter will work as long as it will seal. I belive it is 4". and will fit in that area.

Like an AFE, I will do some research on sizes, thanks. I am just basing this on reviews on the k&n causing issues.

From what I have read the K&N system is ok. It is the dropins that cause the problem. If you take care of the filter you should be ok. But if you live in a dusty climate you should not run the K&N. Again this is what I have read

That is what I read too and I even took it apart and the turbo looked clean... I helped my friends dad change a heater core in an 02 2500 Cummins and the turbo was actually dirty and he had a k&n, there isnt much dust around where I live from the roads so that got me to thinking....

Thanks.
