Yes, I tried code3 site no longer, LET site to eurocharged site and nothing. You are right about making it myself. I just don't know what that material is....I don't want to use the wrong stuff and not allow good flow and not break down and get sucked inside. You know what that material is made of?

I spoke with hpashop.com a few months ago and were willing to sell the filter for $25.oo each. The filter itself is made by Uni-filter and this particular material is commonly used for motorcycle air intakes. The code3 filter was an exclusive part made by Unifilter for Code 3 performance only and they would not sell them to me. But you could go to almost any motorcycle shop and if you're lucky they may have the right thickness (1/4") available in a sheet size 12" x 12" at about $14.00 each. The shop down the street from my house only carried the 1/2" thick type, so, no go. I'm back to just cleaning the filter every 4 months.

I just replaced the filter with 8-10 layers of cotton surgical gauze sandwiched between steel mesh and sprayed it with the k&n oil...same material k&n uses, works great
