**Denaliano** · 11-04-2009, 08:40 PM

nboylie · 11-04-2009, 11:05 PM

the ac system was designed to have them and it works better. people just never change them

**Hit Man X** · 11-05-2009, 04:44 AM

Spend the extra beans and get the charcoal ones.

cts206 · 11-05-2009, 07:59 AM

even after the changed filter, im still getting a weird smell. im gonna try the lysol trick and see if that works. i cant really describe the smell, i would describe it as sour or something. it doesnt smell like ass or anything. anybody else having this problem?

***Steve*** · 11-05-2009, 03:45 PM

Just changed mine. Pretty sure mine were factory originals with 117k on them...

An empty void...same shaped "chamber" but no access door. You have to retrofit it. See above

That's bullshit someone "attacked" you over this. Give me a fucking break. It's like 2 guys selling the same fucking HIDS. You're not gifted and special to discover you need to cut a little fucking piece of plastic and attach a cover and a screw.

Bullshit man. Who was it, the Diesel Place guy?

black06 · 11-11-2009, 12:17 PM

yeah the diesel place guy got pissed that someone read his entire R&D thread and made his own "part"..... I stopped reading the thread after he showed up. Unfortunately I actually tried to convince people it was easier to buy a "kit" from that guy than build your own. After getting a few PMs for the kits(which he was unable to sell on DP) he came over here and started out on me. I have the dimensions and pictures from my original thread saved somewhere.

wow I took a piece of scrap aluminum and drilled a hole in it!
