ok,
i took mine apart for a photo. (not for me) then i took the filter out. was a lot more than i expected.

that damn filter is much bigger than i expected...

6.75 deep 23" cir.

note: ram duct = got bees.

beers

 

haha. you never looked at it through the hole?

 

yes i did.

have you ever pulled it out from the engine side????

and held it in your hands???

i had no idea. i would like to know the specs for the filter on the k&n #2 filter soloution..

beers

at least i am not in the lounge. but you can vote me to that place..

 

lol

 

derr.. what's this thread about?

and what's this about the ram air duct having bees? Or are you saying it looks like it should have bees? Or maybe that bees would mistake the duct for a hive? Or maybe that it's the battleground where the bees and mini ninjas do battle?

 

he's got dem killer bees

 

lots of bees in my air filter when i took it out. dropped filter most came out. leaf blower to inside the filter the rest were gone. this was with 15k miles on the filter.

beers

 

That means the engine is getting a good supply of air and the filter is doing it's job properly. Can't argue with that!

 

lol, my my filter is bigger than yours








.

 

really,

what are the measurements???

is it new? that is an odd color...

beers

 

that's the new AEM oil-less Dry-Flow filter, should be on the MS CAI whenever it finally gets released ...

the filter media is 9" long, I think yours is only average ...

 

nice looking filter, but its all about the girth!!!!!

beers

 

My filter is average size but it had tons of bugs (bees and other asundry flying insects) on it when I removed it to 'recharge' it. I have no idea what is in my Ram Air duct and not sure I want to now. There was no water and the filter was very dirty (one year and about 10K miles).

Two very light coating of the red 'recharge' oil, and back in business with better performance than ever.

 

My filter is shaped like a mushroom, and my pipping is curved.

 

funny, the rumor going around is that it sucks ....

 

Just remember that you only need as much filter area as can adequately flow the needs of your engine. Anything else is just extra with no benefit to performance. However, a larger filter will not clog as fast.

 

aint it the truth, and as I learned tonight she doesn't like too much flow at idle

the old Rotary Extreme intake tube with the AEM filter wouldn't quite cut it tonight, just running it up on jackstands the CEL would flash for anything above 2000 rpm, it never locked on though despite a lot of no-load running at all kinds of rpm, at idle when I removed the filter off the short tube it just died instantly. Didn't have the computer with me to do a CANScan check on the status though, but I assume it was thescreenless short ram intake causing the flashing CEL.

this was all just preliminary though, I was only running the car for the coolant flush/replacement procedure. The final system will be quite different from what I had on tonight just to run the car. This mother is extremely responsive on throttle blips with the Speedsource pullies and A/C delete , and this is with the factory exhaust on, definitely going to be a difference there when it's all said and done. My goal is to get the custom manifold and exhaust done, if not this weekend, then the next.
