i just did a quick google search and 3A is an american company that makes all CAI stuff. there are only 1 or 2 filters on AUS ebay that i could see.

yeah its interesting to see that 3A which is a 3rd of the price of K&N did better.

the 3A came first in flow and 2nd in filtration only behind the K&N filter which came 4th in flow.

the REDLINE AIRFORCE 1 is the one which came 2nd in flow and last in filtration haha.

its effectively a fish net
