I attended the car show in West Palm Beach, FL on Sunday September 15, 2013.
I met a man who told me he originally worked on the FRAM air filters for Chrysler.

He has reproduced two filters so far and is working on a third.
He was selling part number 2658856 round filter and part number 2946186 oval filter.
I spoke to him at length. I even went to my 1970 `cuda340, retrieved my original air filter, and we discussed for a while. Looks like he will be making the FRAM 305 filter next.

I just thought that I would share with you guys. Maybe the people that have knowledge of original and NOS air filters, can comment on this product.

BTW: I am not associated with this company nor this product.

Yes and no, depending on what year FRAM release filter you've copied

Yes and no is correct. The engineer explained all that to me. The flare, the burr that ripped paper element, the solution, etc.
He said several times that he reproduced the early version.

Even went to the trouble of showing me and comparing the current repro one that another well known vendor is offering. (And why the metal facade is currently offered like it is).

How much for the CA332V?

It's nice someone is repopping them though as I've said before, I believe that the reason for no flare on the hole is cost. Someone must have a link to the last thread where we talked about this. I think Bill O. posted a bunch of pics.

After looking at the pictures I went and compared it to my Fram that has never had air drawn through it. The joint quality where the outside screen ends is very poor in comparison. Did he say where they were made? If its Kung Fu I would bet it came out of the same factory as the other one on the market, but it is a little cheaper. As a side note, has anybody done any kind of flow test on these filters? I would bet that the screen on the inside and the metal front with the little holes really cut down on the air flow.Whit the big engines we have now a days I would say a K&N would better to drive with and put the Frams on when we get to the car show.

What's your return policy if not satisfied with the quality?
