Anyone has a picture of the air filter as used in the SPICA system?

I was browsing the K&N website and found the following filter for "1750/2000"

ALFA ROMEO
1750 / 2000
AUTO
_
E-2040
Air Filter

Is this the correct part # for a K&N filter for a 73 Spica GTV 2000? Do I need two of them?

When I select Giulia as the model, only the 1300 and 1600 engine shows up with no K&N filter available.

Thank you.

Funny... I just replaced mine today. Anthony was saying to snap a picture, and I said who would care to see this.

Theres 2 filter's, they look like a 22oz beer can but a little wider.

I have the old foam filters sold by Shankle that fit in the stock SPICA Airbox. Does anyone know how these flow compared to the K&N filters?

P.S. I had a Shankle Quadraflow set up and ready to install but several very knowledgeable people convinced me it actualy flows worse than the stock airbox.

but you gotta admit, it does sound better

Well, it sounds LOUDER. Personally, I like a lot of exhaust noise and not so much intake noise.

I'll tell you one thing, it sure makes tuning a SPICA car easier as you can access everything with the Quadraflow in place...

Thx Anthony, I will just take the box apart on Saturday (when the car arrive).

I saw the picture of them on IAP. Are they the one

Sniady, which filter did you change urs to?

Actually, I need the K&N part number so I can order them from K&N. I heard that it's semi-out of production and might take me a while to get them.

If you have a problem getting the K&N, you could try "Green" as I fitted to mine (not spica, but bosch.....although I'm sure they have one thats the same), see pic below

I just put in a set of UNI foam filters sold by Centerline. They are about 1/4 the cost of the K & N filters and look to be a very nice design. Much better than the old Shankle foam filters I had, which were falling apart.
