Mine was the very first batch out....personally, i think mine fits fine.
I have a hunch, pipercross had an Instagram video of a CNC machine working away with some hashtag with i30n in, I messaged and asked if it wasn’t the cold air kit in development, I had a reply with no just another set of tooling to make the i30n air filters. Could it be 1 set of tooling has worn which is why they need a second due to demand? Or could it be the second tooling hasn’t been machined quite right? Either way I’d trust it’s a bad batch, the video they released shows a well fitting filter and I feel mine isn’t far off that at all, has anybody done a video of their poor fitting filter?
