Exclamation YES Another Icebox\K & N Filter Question

I purchased the comptech icebox a few months ago, and i noticed that the gains were minimal. I looked at the foam filter and it was dirty. I went and got the RU-2590 filter and to my suprise it did not fit. I couldn't get it on. Please someone out there help. Which is the right filter i should use. I have a TL-P not the type S. Plus for the mean while how should i clean the comptech foam filter?

The 2590 is the right filter. It's a tight fit on the end of the Icebox pipe, but it does fit. I know because that's what I am using.

I put the filter on the elbow before connecting the elbow to anything else. I also removed the clamp. It's the right filter.

Does anyone have pictures of the RU-2590 installed in their Icebox? If you do can you post?
