I want to order a different type filter before my Cobb "SRI" arrives from its source.

What size is the inlet on the blue oiled filter?

that was from the cobb forums and it got no response but 100 views.

can anyone tell me this?

don't quote me on this, but i believe it's a 4.5" opening.

holy crap...that's big...but actually a good thing because the type of filters im looking at are mostly big inlet sizes.

anyone confirm this for me?

no prob...with all this said, the stock cobb filter is pretty darn good. from swapping back and forth, i don't really feel a difference in performance...the thing i DO like about the fujita is that it's a dry filter and doesn't require oiling...(alright)

i just don't like oiled filters for MAF cars. the oil has a tendency to gather on the element over time, especially w/ factory oiled filters (meaning you put it on as is out of the box)

i am going to try to use a donaldson 'powercore' filter IF i can get the right size. they are more efficient, deal with moisture better than oiled gauze, and of course are oil-less. donaldson developed the technology for OE diesel industry and eventually a few OE diesel trucks. Amsoil sells them but Volant has made a few fitments for their truck 'cool air' intake kits.
