Yes. What is in the pics, will not fit an Alpha.

I seriously doubt they ever looked under the hood. They know what the trottle body opening diameter is, they have a tube with coupler that will fit that dimension, bingo....we sell a "Ram Air Intake". Further, they do not know what ram air is.

Ask them to send you an actual picture of their product (for this application)installed on the Alpha. If you get anything, post it please. Thank you.

I would not jump at the chance to buy an "Alpha intake" from a ricer bling light ebay sight. [&o]

I've emailed K&N 3 times, and they keep telling me they are always developing new products.[:@] Then develop one for us damn it! Doc, I'm down for one of yours, if we can ever get a filter. How much HP/mileage improvement do you expect w/ the alpha kit?

I called them as well...10 minutes I will NEVER get back. HUGE waste of time. There has got to be some x-ref or a company that based on measurements will make one for us???

The Alpha and 08 I5's have the same filter I believe, so if they have one for an 08 I5, then it'll fit Alphas!!!!!!!

No that is not correct! They may have the same number but are NOT the same filter. Totally different engines!
