K&N filter question...

[knuk]

Just returned from VOI and purchased K&N filters for my Viper. I just put them on (did not take my car to VOI) and noticed that the K&N filters are about 1/2 the size of the stock air filters. Is this the way they are?? Or did they sell me the wrong filters?! Anyone have pics of theirs installed?
Thanks

Congrat. on getting to go to Vegas. I am going to next one.

Not for sure--do you have the complete K&N filter system on the Viper or the stock system that your putting the filters in.

only installed new filters as the retailer at VOI confirmed that they would fit the stock system. K&N part # RC-5000.
Any opinions will be appreciated!

Dont understand it. K&N did not make a filter for stock air box. A month ago I called K&N and they said no-but one was being made. So I got the green filters that fit the stock system rather than buying the complete K&N system.

Even though they fit ,something is wrong-filters should not be that small. In fact the green filters were just a small amount larger than stock ,and that made for a tight fit.

Maybe another vca member could give some info.

I had ordered the S&B drop in filters, and they were just a bit larger that the stock, Tight fit. I was gonna order the K&N complete kit, but was recommended the drop in's instead with the S&B. Glad I did

yes, the K&N filters are much smaller than the stock. I ordered them at different times from different venders for both my SRT's and they are identical. I have not noticed any performance change but not had either car on dyno.
