Granatelli cast CAI, Replacement Air Filter. Help!

I have the Granatelli cast CAI installed, and I need a replacement air filter for it. It has a 4" air inlet and is a 8" long filter (9" including inlet neck). Since Granatelli no longer makes the CAI, any idea where/what a good replacement is?

maybe if you can post a picture of the filter, someone might be able to recognize a compatible replacement

You can also purchase replacement filters from S&B filters, they manufacture practically every size for all applications. Contact them, I'm sure they'll hook you up with the correct replacement size..
Their web-link is provided below..

This is the only link I've been able to find of the unit I have:
https://www.andysautosport.com/produ...s__410040.html

Have reached out to Granatelli already and have not heard back. Thanks for the SB Filter link, and have reached out to them, too.

The GMS unit you have is pretty much the same design as the C&L 83mm street kit sold thru American Muscle. You can also purchase the replacement air filter thru AM as well.. Images and links are attached below.

And SB Filters got back with me and pointed me to their custom filter page:
https://www.sbfilters.com/replacemen...nd-with-flange

Measuring the filter, mine is 4" inlet, 1" neck, ~7.75" Inlet OD, 8" long, & ~5.75" end OD.
Which brings me to their R1275 UNIVERSAL FILTER, which is backordered.

Thanks for that AM link, as that looks closest to what I have and is at least in stock. I'll give that a try.

If your unable to wait on S&B due to back order? Most definitely consider giving the filter AM has in stock a try, and keep us posted

The AM one came in. It measured up to everything but is just about an inch longer. Took out the old, put in the new tonight and a quick jaunt around the neighborhood and everything seems fine.

Despite the inlet coupler being just an inch longer, it appears to fit onto the intake tube and measures up just fine.. Meanwhile, really glad that everything turned out well.. Congrats
