Default Need Vararam Filter dirty TB

Just checked my Vararam filter today and it was very dirty and once again I found a very dirty TB. This is the second time and now I am concerned and need to buy replacement filter. Problem is not sure what new filter to buy. IE. (Green, K&N etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated on what replacement filter I should buy and where to buy it.

www.theLAPD.com sells a K&N filter that requires a weatherstripping kit that fits the Vararam

www.vararam.com sells two cloth filters green and gray that fit as well

Chuck01,

Thanks for the order. I just wanted to let you know that we have plenty of K&N filters in stock and your order will be going out today and you should have it no later than Wednesday of this week. I just checked on your order status.

Also, thank you to everyone else that recommended us to your fellow forum members. It means a lot to us here.
