Open air filter replacement

I have a MAC intake on my truck. I have two filters and I destroyed one of them (see other thread if you want to be bored with what happend The spare I had was the original and it has been cleaned and oiled numerous times to the point that I think its wore out. I like this intake, especially the mandrel bent stainless steel tourque tube, and would like to stay with it.

I checked the MAC site and I think I will call to order a couple filters. But I am getting tired of the oiling thing. Before I order I was wondering if anyone knows of a good conical pleated filter that is 5 and 3/4 inches inside diameter and 8 inches long. I wouldnt mind trying a dry filter on this intake if I could find one that has the same dimensions.

Anyone know what the dims are on any of the other brand 'dry' filters?

BTW I tried the BHAF a couple years ago and didnt have much luck with it. Its a good filter but how I had it set up wasnt the best for me

you could probably use this one from Amsoil it is a dry filter...
amsoil cone filter part#EAAU6080 MSRP $66.70
specs link https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/eaau.aspx
The mounting flange is a little big but not much...
5-3/4" is kinda a weird size

BTW the EAau6080 is the same one I used on my intake..

I think I will try this one out. I think the clamp will bring down 1/4" and shoulder up tight enough. Looking at the pictures of the Amsoil they look about the same as the MAC. No hurt in trying it. Thanks for the info.

Apply two beads of RTV high temp silicone sealant a little wider apart than the clamp and 1/8" high on the end of the tube....this will ensure a tight seal with zero chance of leaks. ks
