I am still looking for a replacement. Not easy to find.

Does anyone have experience with the K&N Airforce foam pre-cleaner?

I found no filter leaks and filter looks good.
Talked to K&N company on this and they told me right off that the filter is NOT for planes. Talked to Vans and they said that they never had a issue.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Any other filter that I can try?

Thanks

Just noticed that you mentioned the E-3260. Which plane/engine combo uses the E-3260? I went back to check to make sure I just bought the correct one, mine seems to be E-3450 for the RV-8 with 0-360.
