As I was checking my oil today I noticed the filter slightly cocked on my Alta intake. Upon further inspection I realized that the clamp had split the rubber on the neck of the filter. When I installed it in Dec 03 I was careful not to over tighten and the same thing last moth when I had it off to install my pulley. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know of a paper filter element that will fit the Alta intake box? Looks like about 2 3/4" wide. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Andy & Fletch,
Thanks so much, I really appreciate all the input. Andy I just ordered that RU-1520 I'm sure it'll work great, should be here by Wed next wk. Is there anything I need to do to that filter before installing it. ie: oiling it or anything else.
Thanks again, you guys are life savers. Hope I can return the favor someday!!

If your filters base had ripped we will replace it! No matter what this isn't a normal thing that occures so don't just brush it off and buy another filter. Plus our foam filters are far superior to the K&N in cleaning and flow when dirty. Please call us and we will get one out to you right away!

The replacement had a couple little bubbles in the plastic at the edge, but nothing structural that I could see. It's "still ticking" but I check it FREQUENTLY now.
