Default Vortex Rammer filter?

Is the filter that comes with the Vortex Rammer airbox just a regular K&N filter or is is a special one made by Breathless Performance?

Either way, I need one so someone tell me where to order one.

Thanks :)

It is not a normal K&N, the bottom of the filter is recessed like an inverted cone with filter media. I think all K&N's have a plastic bottom with no filter material. Probably have to order one from Breathless, not sure if anyone else makes them.

I'm sure if you look through the K&N book at your local parts store you can fine a universal K&N that would have the same or similar dimensions but none of the universal K&N's have the inverted filter at the top like the Breathless filter.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that the filter that comes with the Vortex is an S&B filter. I'm almost posititve. Anyone know for sure??
