Get a NAPA 6637 air filter and 41632 exhaust elbow. Replace the K&N. Do a search on "Kwik filter" or "6637" and you should find some pictures on the install.
This link has a good picture of what the installed filter looks like:

NEVER USE A K&N FILTER FOR AS LONG AS YOU SHALL LIVE!!!!!!!!!!! They're junk, known to dust motors and turbos. Get ya a Tymar intake AKA Kwik filter setup and have no worries

Thanks for the answers
I have a 6637 set up now, but was looking for a cleanable type filter due to the cost of replacing them. I'am sure it is cheaper to change the filter than the turbo. How many miles do you guys get on youre 6637 air filter? Jcab

Miles you get on the filter depends on driving conditions. I cleaned mine once after 3 or 4 thousand miles. I cleaned it by first removing it and sealing the opening with duct tape. I held it horizontally on a work table and lightly tapped it repeatedly while slowly rotating it several times. Then I set it upright, removed the tape and blew low pressure air at the paper element from the inside to remove the last of the dirt. Be careful not to get any dust inside. It worked pretty well as I got a fair amount of dust out and it looked a lot cleaner.

Try talking nice to the NAPA guys if you have one near you. I'm still on my first one but I got it for $25 last spring. Or if you have a buddy w/ a shop you might be able to get a garage price.

Just thought you guys would like to know
The cheapest price I could find for the 6637 was at fleetfilter.com, 27 something plus 9 bucks for shipping. I bought two, and they still charged me the same price for shipping. Most places I checked wanted 40- to 60 bucks each. I got two for the price of one, including shipping. Jcab

you can also use a 45* 3" PVC elbow, not as clean but free if you are like me and have plumbing parts laying around from different renovations and upgrades!
