or if you do

I'm sure you could find it cheaper if you looked. I purchased mine for $25.00 shipped. I would hardly call that a "huge ripoff".

When my K&N melted off my T66, I went to GReddy AirINX. The engine bay temps seem to be too much for it as well as the chromed plastic cage ribs will crack at random.

Are you sure you have a Greddy filter and not a knock off? I always thought Greddy filters had a cage made of metal?

You can take a coupler, and 4" tubing to make an intake so the filter doesn't melt off.

It's a GReddy and they're made of plastic.

Yeah, I thought of doing that until I discovered the GReddy to fit well. It's recently I find it to be be not so durable. I'd like to find a 4" HKS for the job.
