My air pump is gone too so I dont have the diameter.



Just pull the hose off your air pump and measure the metal tube coming out of the air pump.... then get a filter to attach directly to that.

Just get a universal one at Orielly or Autozone. I purchased one from the ricer section of O'Rielly. Made by APC, it looks all purty and stuff. Doesn't have to be exact, that's what hose clamps are for.

make a filter like me . I bought one of those things and it was so restrictive that my aux's and VDI didn't work (I have s5), so I made one out of extra filter paper and a pipe.
