Default Screaming Eagle A/C - element question?

Hi guys,

I just got the Screaming Eagle A/C Kit in the mail.

My question is the grey filter element any good? Should I get a K&amp\\;N or can I use this one?

Heres a pic: http://i25.tinypic.com/xbwewj.jpg

I ask that because I saw some posts about a crappy SE kit with a blue filter element that was no good.

I read somewhere that the BLUE is deteriorating prematurely.

K&N, the one that came with my forcewinder is CRAP too, I always thought the Screamin' Eagle kit came with a K&N though?

mine's the same color as yours, grey.&nbsp\\; I just got mine from the dealer a couple of days ago.&nbsp\\; I think, maybe, the new edition SE filters are grey.

&nbsp\\;That looks like a newer model filter the ones that where falling apart, those&nbsp\\;had blue&nbsp\\;rubber seal not blue paper.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;Just keep an eye on it, check it at least once a year for small holes in the paper, that's what used to be the problem with those filters.&nbsp\\;

Yep the blue ones are the old ones. I had a blue one and it started coming apart so when I got a new one it was grey.

Sounds like I should replace the filter then. Mine is blue rubber.
