RK Intakes

What waterproof filter cover is everyone using with the RK intakes? I know the they use the K&N RC-5000 filters but can't seem to find the wrap/cover for it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you. I called K&N and what they suggested was wayyyy too small. Emailed RK and they said they had some, but are in the middle of a move and cannot locate them at this time. I asked for a part # and never got a response :

I’ll email them too. I searched through this spreadsheet: https://www.knfilters.com/search/wrap but there’s no tapered oval covers with the dimensions for the RC-5000.

Seems pretty crappy I the part of RK. You throw ALL that cash at them for some carbon intakes and they can't find a critical accessory that stops your motor from ingesting water...

They told me they didn't know the part number but said no one has had issues sucking up water. I'm kinda skeptical and still want to use a cover so I'm trying the K&N RC-70031DK now to see if that fits. For the price, and the location of the filters, they should probably be included.
