hi cbx.
i ended up buying the airraid filter which requires the use of the bottom housing unit. Ideally, i would like to have the full unit though just in case i want to go back to the stock filter when i bring it in to the dealership. i know i have mine lying around somewhere, just can't find it. so if somebody is opting to part there's for a few bucks, i'll buy it. I found a guy (not local) selling it for $15 (XOC), but wondering if anybody locally first.
thks for your response.
