That seems to be about the average price compared to other outlets
You may want to buy a re-usable filter such as K&N or Unifilter, the initial purchase price may put you off but will pay for itself in the long term.
arrivederci

what sort of Suzuki is it for, I'm guessing Sierra? Sounds fair, the panel filters for my Vit are around $60 each, hence why i'm running a K&N

I thought general consensus was that Ripco use poor quality filters.

i use baldwin filters and penzoil oil.  i just get the deal cos it is the same price
as just a filter and it annoys the repco manager when i ask for it.

that was genuine suzuki, are you sure they're the same? i was led to believe that the SV420 & SV620 ran a different filter & air box to the SE416.

And about $43 for sierra fuel oil and air
Prices include postage.
