What Air Filter
Ok, so I didn't get the Firehawk supplement manual (or the Pontiac owners manual for that matter) with the 95 Hawk I just got and the air filter doesn't really look right. Can someone please tell me what filter it takes? K&N # or equivalent would be fine. Also the rubber seal that seals the hood to the air box is MIA as well. Can someone please also show me a picture of what it is supposed to look like? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Re: What Air Filter
Thanks Blackhawk! Is the top part of the air box supposed to be up and off of the the element part of the filter? ie, it only touches or clamps down on the rubber part only?

Re: What Air Filter
it's been a few years since i've actually looked at my air box. i'm pretty sure the only part that touches is what you have have described. the thicker rubber flange of the filter is what seals/ touches between both 1/2's of the box when assembled.

Re: What Air Filter
I fought with poor-fitting reusable filters for a few years and eventually went back to a good old paper filter. I don't need to squeeze every single bit of power out of my car and it is a lot easier to take the old one out and pop the new one in and know it'll fit.

Re: What Air Filter
I am definitely open for suggestion on this and I can see the rational in your approach. So what is a good part # for a a quality disposable filter tat you use? The filter that came in the car is a reusable but, it doesn't seem to really fit correctly.Scott Chab wrote:I fought with poor-fitting reusable filters for a few years and eventually went back to a good old paper filter.
