Intake filter questions step in guys

[achalmersman]

Ok guys. So my car has a 3" MAF pipe with the MAF and IAT sensor hooked right up to the K&N filter. The filter screen is damaged from rubbing on the canister. I am thinking about eliminating the canister. What alternatives are you guys using for DRY filters? I HATE K&N filters. I have done a little reading on Amsoil air filters. Anyone got any suggestions?

What canister is it rubbing on?

 

[achalmersman]

Evap canister / chrome cover and maybe AC lines / crimps if I remember right. I'm not in front of the car right now I should have taken a picture. My turbo has a 4" inlet but I'm not ready to put a spacer on the upper intake / IAC relocate, and mess with the uppipe. Figured I would do that mess when I got a FMIC and perhaps go SD. Then I could do away with the MAF

Really just trying to get an idea as to if anyone has experience with any dry high performance filters

AEM for a dry filter. They flow better than a K&N too since they have a radiused outlet almost like a velocity stack. The K&Ns insist on keeping a sharp edge inside their outlet neck.


The other benefit of a dry filter is you never coat the MAF sensor(s) with filter oil from oil residue.

I can build you a 3.5 pipe that will hook to the turbo without interfering with the IAC or the uppipe if you want. It's set up for a LS1 MAF or MAfless.

Ooo that sounds nice. Can I pay extra to have it polished / chromed?

The alum pipe I use is pretty polished to start with. Wouldn't take too much effort is you wanted to make it shinier. (clamps are polished SS T-bolts)

Any pics Earl? I also run a Dry filter for the reason I don't like my TB plate and MAF with oil. I have a K&N in my truck and hate it

you can use a 45deg silicone adapter elbow 4" to 3" and it will probably work just fine and use a 45deg aluminum pipe to the maf. My turbo has a 3" inlet and I have a 3 to 3.5" 45deg elbow and 3.5" alum pipe to the maf and a short "cheapy" filter with the inverted cone in the end.

Don't mind the dirty engine bay

I am working on another allow and pipe to put the filter behind the headlight soon. I have t bolt clamps for intake pipes just not put on yet.

I may be purchasing a 3.5 setup from Earl. What PN filters are you guys using for 3.5"?

 

[ITSAV6]

I picked mine up at Autozone, my old 14" K&N was messed up.

This is the only shot I have of an AEM filter. This is a cold air kit I built for my car... as I was about to install it, I decided to pull the 4.1 and get some of my forged pistons made for it instead. It's always something with this car, LOL.
