I'm looking to install performance air filters in my 1997 V8. I'm not seeing any on the K&N website for the car. I thought I have heard of people having these. I also know other brands are very similar and available. Please advise! Thanks.

I prefer ITG.... oiled foam and also high-flow but finer filtering capacity. If you're in the US, I have them in stock.

I'm in the US. I'm interested in ITG. Where can I purchase them?

I called K&N in the USA. They have nothing available. ITG is based in Britain, I believe.

kmaier, I'd be interested in ITG filters for my V8. Pls e-mail me at mzobian1@yahoo.com (remove the '1', that's just to fool web crawlers.)

FWIW...

Anybody in the US looking for K&N's: You cannot get them from a regular outlet as they are a "Euro K&N part only". You have to order them from a specialist (like JAE)

The standard filters are from a nova gte so have a look under nova filters & you cant go wrong.

ROTFLMAO,

Great write-up Adrian...."Changing the filters on a V8 is more trouble than it’s worth. I’d not recommend it as life is too short."
