they are different, however it should say 89-91, as the 89 is the same as the 90, and there is no 92. tells you how smart they are. those things are peieces of crap. order a air filter adapter from www.k2rd.com for like $20 then buy a K&N cone.

From weapon R site:

The Defuser is stratigically placed in the intake pipe to
create a harmonic balance in the air charge, which straightens
the airflow and creates a Hyper Combustable formation of air
intake charge.

To increase intake charge, we developed the Dragon Filter,
which features an internal dual tuned flow velocity stack
design and Air Turbulance guides.

Utilizing the high flow rate characteristics of a foam
filtering element, we are able to increase flow by 25%
over other air filters.

Wow looks revolutionary. Harmonic balance in the air charge, internal dual tuned velocity stack, air turbulance guides! It must be good

DO NOT GET HKS! The foam breaks off and flys into your engine. I have seen it happen. +, air leaks around the cone and doesn't filter the air 100%

Get K&N, everything is sealed in the filter. No unfiltered air leaks. turst me. I have bought HKs and threw it in the trash when I found out how shitty they were.

DO NOT get weapon R. They suck too! That is Nopi crap.

get K&N!!!!

fipk is over $100 too, the adapter + cone is the cheapest and works fine. the weapon R one probably works it's majic like it says but will fall apart after a month or so.

if you have an intake right now you probably already have an adapter, so you'd only need a k&n cone with the same size hole

you already have the adapter, and it looks like an hks filter. if you want a k&N just measure the hole sizie of that one, and pick up a k&N cone with the same hole. what's wrong with the one you have?
