    Are you sure it’s not installer error? How is it not fitting? I’ve used lots of brands over the years. Some tighter than others but never had one not fit… genuinely curious.

    Did the latches simply require a lot of effort to close? I see this review:

    Why not just buy Denso First Time Fit? Appears to be identical to OEM but cheaper.

    It's Amazon. Have to be carful for counterfeits.

    Bosch is usually a good brand, though I've been let down once in 2023 with oversized 4Runner parking brake shoes that didn't fit.

    Thanks all for your replies.

    The thing wouldn't even go in the air box. I would've had to file down some plastic to get it in there.

    Could I have possibly gotten a counterfeit from the 'Bosch Store' on Amazon?

    Anyway, I ordered a K&N from Amazon for under $20.
