gen 4 2009 Green filter

[seabass]

I bought one of these that claimed to fit my car... it was actually for an '08 Viper. I thought the '08s and '09s were the same? Anyways the green website states '08 only and it appears that is really made for the Mazda RX-8. I tried to install it but found that it was about 1/4" too thick and I couldn't get the filter clamped back into the intake box thingy

Has anyone installed a Green filter successfully in a 2009? Is it worth the $70 to do so? I know that there's a very long K&N topic in the SRT forum but thought I'd ask here re: Green.

Thanks!

put the factory one back in-you will gain nothin by aftermarket on the 08,maybe peanuts

that's what I've heard... I've also heard 5-10? for $70 it's a cheap mod if you get even 1HP... for motorcycles and cars it seems like I spend roughly $100 for 1HP increase... what can I get for $37

You can get the new K&N filter for Gen4's shipped to your door for $52.

Remember Gen 4 Viper is certified low emissions

... not sure how much gain with a green filter. Let us know how it goes.

We had the Green air filters in our 2005, but we're sticking with the stock filter on our 2009...it's simply made 'just right' for the car. In fact, the whole car is staying stock...exhaust is perfect...we only swapped out the stock shifter for a short-throw. ENJOY! ~juli
