Hard Landing - Air Cleaner & Accessories

Had to trim a bit to fit 2001 Honda CRV. The folds on the side that descends into the strut following the airflow arrows are too thick to slip into the channels on either side of the strut. There are thin pleats on the other side of the filter that fit, but the airflow direction is wrong. I cut the crossbars at each end that hold the pleats in place, then I used a small plastic ruler to slide the thicker pleats in place so as not to damage them. Once installed, the filter seems to work fine, but due to the rather lengthy uninstall and install process, this was a problem.

Pros
  • Replaces frame: CF8249A | Honda: 80291-ST3-505, 80291-ST3-515, 80291-ST3-E01 - check match with Amazon part finder
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
