What K&N filters fit 2017 model year BRZ manual transmission?

Hey guys, just wondering which model of K&N drop in air filter fits a 2017 model year manual transmission BRZ.

I have attached a link of one that I'm pretty sure fits but just want to confirm.
https://www.knfilters.com/blog/squee...nt-air-filter/

If there are any other models of K&N drop in filter or other brands in general that you would recommend please let me know.

Thanks.

You don't need a K&N filter. Just practice your heal/toe. These are a driver's car. You have to have your head in the game.

Thanks for your input.

Still wondering though which K&N filters fit the MY 2017 MT BRZ and if there will be any power gains.

Thanks.

Thanks, do you know if there will be any power gains at all with these Hi FLow air filters on the 2017+ model years?

Insignificant gains if any.

I prefer dry filters instead of oiled.
Look at BLITZ 59624 or GrimmSpeed 060093.

Same here, had overall great experiences with oiled filters but dry ones are simply less of an hassle and you don't risk over-oiling it. Don't expect much gains, though, maybe with a tune, but even then. Marginal.

I am interesting, do you prefer K&Ns due to that they all are re-usable and washable, or maybe stylsh?

I am interesting too. I think it's something about these cars that attracts interesting people.
