If you notice a foul smell with your air on, it is time to change the filter. I should have changed mine a year ago. I finally did a few months ago and it was very black and STUNK!!! It takes 15-30 minutes to change and is definately worth the time. I'll be doing mine yearly from now on. 98 Black E0 #946 of 6535 Koni struts & Eibach springs 24mm Aussiebar Pro Flow 75mm MAFS calibrated to KKM filter Wilwood Brake Kit with cross-drilled rotors Clutchmaster's Stage 1 Clutch & Fidanza Flywheel Custom Dual Exhaust with an Xpipe MSDS Headers Custom Cold Air Intake with KKM filter Dyno'd at 177 hp and 156 ft-lbs

Mine had (oh god, and i'm so good with other maintenance) 50K on it...It was black and stunk and was hard to push air through. The new one definitely helped a lot. 1998 SVT, Silver, Mods. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, Mods. -- www.cerraracing.com --

It is not listed at all in their Fram book and their computer says Not Yet Available. Is this a Ford dealership only part? I see the Purolator # above, but who carries purolator? 2000 SVT Contour - Silver # 1675/2150 svt1675@comcast.net This Shine brought to you by the letter "Z" for Zaino
