The CA305V sells for around $20 - $30 bucks and you can get them at most national auto part chains so that's not a huge investment. http://www.filterzoneusa.com/fram-ca305v-round-plastisol-air-filter/ I have four of them sitting on the shelf now. If Fram offered 1000 of the CA332V right now they would be gone in a week no problem. THERE ARE WAY MORE THAN 1000 MOPARS OUT THERE THAT USE THAT FILTER. The reason they didn't sell the first time quickly was that most people never thought they were going to stop making them!

I agree, they would be gone in a week.....today
The problem is Fram did re-do a 1000 of them, actually more, and they weren't gone in a week , not even a year.
They deem something like that a "slow moving product" and the decision is made early that because of that, they wont be offered again after stock is depleted or near depletion.
Mopar hobbyists were procrastinators when it came to buying them.. saying they would have, should have, but never wanted to until it was too late.

Enjoy life today, It has an ex...
332Vs were shipped in a case / box of 3 filters per box

Edit,
I just ck'd . Total I sold was right at 100 , this was spread over nearly 7 years
My cost at the last stock ( 2010 ) was right at $50 each.

And this has been hashed out off an on for the last year, and I will go on record to say-


Can 500 be sold ? MAYBE/ probably

can 1000 be sold ? doubt it

would I buy 250 of them ? absolutely not

Again I hope I'm wrong but I think they are done

a lot of people may say they'll buy from the "new" batch, but when it comes down to spending $100+ for a throw away paper filter the rubber won't hit the road. i would like some paper filters but would never give that kind of money for something that will end up hitting the trash can. an offshore alternative is the only way "if" they're priced correctly.

I have a hard time believing that most people that own cars that use those filters could give a rats azz about spending another $100.00. We are talking about the rarest multi carbed and fresh air mopars made; I don't see the logic; spend $20k buying a project car, $80k restoring it, $40k on a new shop to put it in, $25k on tools, $5k on memorabilia and garage art, $70k on a new truck and car trailer to take it to the shows and races that are too far to drive through, but $100.00 for an air filter?? no fricken' way!!

I have done it a lot also, not a big deal, but i dont like the look. I like the look of the OEM style. Pluss for a dailey driver in a more harsh environment than a track, dust and dirt really pack into those KN filters. The paper ones dont seem to pack up as badly cause theres no oil to attact the fine dust.

kasey

Don't forget there are many more 4 bbl cars built than there were 6 pack and hemi cars. Then the number of guys that put a 6 pk on their other engines for the wow factor.

There are MORE tightwads that need that filter than rich guys like yourself ...

I've probably cleaned and oiled more reuseable air filters in the last 40-years than just about anyone on this board (Dave can cover me on this one ) AND I STILL HATE DOING IT!!!

They make reuseable oil filters too....don't use those either

I was referring to the resto crowd that would use these for their original cars that need these filters. I ASSuMed that the guys just running a 6 pack on in their Belvedere's will be happy with the K&N.....although it should be noted that they paid $2500 for the "6 pack visual" so they can't be THAT squeeky!

Rich? I wouldn't say so; my recent divorce would seem to have taken care of that!

That may be the way it works in your world, but in mine it's a fight to spend any money on the damned car and what gets done is done as inexpensively as possible. And yeah it should have one of those filters on it but as long as they cost substantially more than a K&N, it won't.

Well Bob, my comment was tongue in cheek and was meant as a bit of a humorous commentary on how much time, effort and money many put into this hobby. I know it's tough for many of us right now and I suspect that the reality is that most people who are on a shoestring budget aren't the ones in the market for a repop original style filter for their Hemi E-body. For many, it seems the K&N is a valid choice.

I thought that even back in the day they were way more expensive (2x the price) than the unsilenced CA305V filter and were only made by one other company (Purolator??) besides Fram. Then the filters were $40 - $50 for a long time and when those ran out along came the Fram remake again and they were selling for $60 - $80 until they ran out and NOW you can't find one so now they are like the ebay link above If the repo's are between $50-$80 then that would seem like the going price if they were still being made by FRAM to this day. Price of gas "back in the day" when these filters came stock on the cars have changed too can't expect a $20 back in the day filer to cost $20 today.....just saying.

I had that filter on my air grabber road runner back in '69 and thought the price of a replacement air filter was outrages then, should have bought a couple of cases, 20/20 hind sight EH
