So My 20 ST had a OEM air filter when I got it in 22.

Think Im doing something I replaced with a AEM Dry Flow last year.

I order a OEM air filter online which they crossed reference Fomoco FA 1844

I tried over a half hour and it was to bulky and would never fit right no matter how I tried .. the clips could not clamp

I had to put the AEM Air filter back in for now

Can I get you'll opinion on which is the best filter for maintenance vs performance ..Also which one just fit right ?

Just go back to OEM, anything else won’t help power.

That was what I was trying to do today but the factory oem filter FA1884 would not fit correct ....I might have to try a way to trim the edges .

Interesting, because that’s the same part number I use.
