R-Code Galaxie Air Filters
« on: May 18, 2023, 11:43:49 AM »
We have started to receive some boxes of these filters so I figured it's time to show everyone what we've been working on. At the PRI show in December we ran across a guy making air filters for the Hemi guys. Almost walked past him but the thought crossed my mind, maybe he can make the Galaxie ones everyone has been needing. We sent him a correct R-code air filter, he priced it up, and the price was reasonable enough to move forward.

We also had him make a 3" tall version because the only 3" tall oval filter we can find right now is a K&N.

To make purchasing/shipping easier, we have been setting up a website. Honestly that part of the operation has been much more work than getting the filters made. The site should be set up by the end of the month. I'll let everyone know when we get that live and we can start selling/distributing these things.

3" fit on flat hood cars with lowriser intake?

Approximate cost?

Looks way more "correct" than the K&N I'm using.

Yes sir, we've been running a 3" K&N on our car. I don't believe it will work with a MR intake unless you cut the rear brace out of the hood. Cost we're hoping to be right around $120, the 3" tall will need to be about $10 more expensive.

This effort is cool. I understand the value of the K&N but never cared for the look.
Thanks

Factory ones are right around 2-3/8". 3" tall should clear a factory hood as long as you're not running a medium riser intake. If its a factory low riser 2x4 or 3x2 I think you should be fine.
