I bought a replacement filter from Wal- Mart, Fram, and it doesn't fit. It was close, but not close enough.

Other than those that use the K&N filter, what brand of throw away filter did you buy and where?

I have 30K now and the original filter doesn't look bad.

Hmmmm, "...close, but not close enough." Prior to installing my CAI I ran with the K&N filter...during installation of the K&N I was beginning to feel like it was also "close, but not close enough"....Problem was solved by using silicon spray to get the K&N to seat correctly allowing the filter cover to latch...you may have the same problem with the WalMart filter.

The angle part of the filter is at a slightly different angle allowing for a gap at one corner of the box. When I held the filters up against each other you could see the angle difference. The filter goes in the box, but won't seal in one of the angle corners.

Bummer. I just bought a Fram air filter at WalMart today.

Geezer, let me know if it fits, mine might just be a reject.

FWIW: I installed a TRD filter and it fit perfectly. Eventually I'll have to clean and re-oil it, but that's OK !

Fits fine and I find it hard to believe that there would be a fit problem on a mass produced item like this. The diagonal side of the filter fits differently than the other sides, so maybe you didn't have it seated right. You also might have the wrong part number. I'll fish the box out of the trash and double check the number on the filter I bought.
