Donaldson still makes a Konepac style filter housing if that is what you are after.  You could pretty much use any housing that flows enough air for your engine.

Interesting to note that Donaldson states this is old technology though and recommends newer better air filtration though.

Not only is it not good enough, it can cause serious issues - it just doesn't filter adequately and can let "undesirable material" to flow through and into the engine.  You're very wise to replace it with a real filter.

Why try to replace the can?  Cross the K&N to a NAPA or any other brand part number.  K&N number should be on the filter somewhere.  Just a thought.  David

I figured they removed the entire air intake system and probably mounted a K&N cone filter right to the turbo. ANY filter you can put on would be better if this is the case. (K&N probably doesnt make a filter for our housings)

The oem system would be best, but any durable, heavy duty paper filter would be better than a K&N. Just make sure it matches the oem flow rate (1650CFM)

A Donaldson Duralite or Ecolite air filter would be my choice. They are built into the housing and you replace the whole thing based on restriction, never cleaning the element. They are affordable and easily sourced/adapted to your engine. even the wrong paper filter is better than any k&n filter.

mot did 'nt stock the housing anymore but did give me the part number and put me on the right road to get one from there suppler . They could still get the filter housing for 800.00 dollars :(    will that was not going to happen , so i looked on E bay and found a big Econlite  built in filter & housing thats 2' by 9 5/8 "  the problem is that that the inlet openings are 5 7/8 " the piping coming  off the turbo is 5" . I know i should be able to get the rubber garments to step from one to the other . Also being i will need a cap for the inlet side of the Econlite filter housing i thing I'll just use the K& N JUNK  ;) P.S by the way the Econlite filter with housing was 99.00 plus 20.00 shipping . I hope i can route the piping up to the top of the engine compartment to help keep it away from dirt & water .
