The foam filter material in my 8 1/2" S&H air cleaners looked like the original green but still seems restrictive. My filters are only 1 1/2" tall at the highest and taper down to 1 3/8". The foam filter was made of 5/8 thick foam sheet, probably 16 wide, and then was cut in 1 1/2" wide strips and were then glued 16" and a 8" end to end to form a circle. Each foam filter element is 5/8"thick x 1 1/2 tall" x 24"long). Looks OK but I swear there seems to be a marked difference in engine response with and without the air cleaners mounted.
