TPI air filter options

I am helping a buddy install a TPI setup on a hot rod. There is little room for an air filter due to the radiator. We already tried a cone type filter but it is about an inch too long. I see that billet specialties makes a rectangular one that would probably work, but My buddy doesn't like the red K&N type element. Is there anyone that makes a rectangular one with a different color element?

Thanks!

I'm not seeing anything that fits the Billet Specialties TPI rectangular air cleaners. And I'm not seeing any other type of air cleaner with a different color filter.

I didn't either, I was hoping someone might know of one I didn't.

If i remember right once you wash the K&N filter it will be white. Order clear filter oil from summit or whatever color you may like and problem solved!

I don't have that exact filter, but I've washed (or "recharged") my K&N several times and it never turned white.

I'm pretty sure they don't turn white. I've recharged one as well, and it did not turn white.
