Hey Stick, I replced mine with a K&N at Advance Auto Parts, they had a full line of filters and cost $46.00. I also loosened the plastic shroud that shields the tube at the bottom of the filter housing , and attached it to the grill creating a "Cold Box". That gave me more clearence from the batteries and lee hot air from the radiator.
Coming back from Ashville, NC to Virginia we
drove in and out of VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS for about 6 hours .... when I checked there was
not any signs of water ingestion.
Happy Travels and keep "tinkering"
