cold air intake power gains

Google "dusted my engine"

Larger air flow because of less filtration is moronic

Hennessey K&N are not offroad worthy. look through my posts.

I wouldn't spend a penny with Hennessey if they had the last beer on earth. They make claims they can't substantiate. I don't do business with liars.

lol I cant believe the Top Gear episode had these equipment on it and did not break (so he says). I do the same stuff with mine and it breaks every time out. (mount snaps off the filter and the filter gets damaged on the hood). Get a AFE wet and a separate dry filter. I heard the spot welds break but you just weld them up and no more issues.

Hmmmmmm that is odd----when I took mine off after 22k to clean and oil the inside was spotless. Drive mine is some very ugly dust as well.

9k miles on mine, 2 K&N's.

Took it to hungry valley, san felipe, mojave, yucca valley, lancaster, joshua tree, grand caynon (not to dusty in winter) and thats about all I can think of.

"The filters come pre-oiled. The dust that you are seeing is dust that is passing through the small openings of the filter. That dust is too fine to damage the engine. Granted if it builds up you may have issues but you must be in highly dusty conditions. When that dust gets in the combustion chamber that should burn off but if you are going through that dirty of conditions you may want to frequently clean and re-oil your filter. If you go with the AFE and use the dry filter I would check the filter after each day of running in those conditions. The K&N filters are great but there comes a point when they cannot filter any more. I hope this makes sense."

So has anybody checked their stock intake tube (after the filter) to see if the stock filter allows the same or comparable amount of dust through? Or does it pass the finger swipe test?

I am a bit disturbed all these intake companies claim (BETTER THAN STOCK FILTRATION) Is this all a lie or are some better worse than others? Im not talking about 10dollar *** models Im talking about Volant, AirRaid, K&N, AFE, etc. Higher quality and reputable Companies. I will do the finger test today on my stock intake. And post a picture to see what it looks like.

I was just about to pull the gun and go w/ a AFE intake and ITXSC Tuner from 5star and have it tuned for MBRP exhaust. But this discussion has me possibly rethinking the Intake. Every vehicle I have owned has had either a AirRaid or Volant Filter system with no issues.

aftermarket intakes filtrations are not "better", their filters have bigger openings to let more air in but also chance to let other stuff also in, I got a preliner on my airaid and I feel pretty confident in them. Had a K&N on my old silverado for 35k miles and never a spot of dust or oil-y film anywhere in the tube. Just need to find a brand you trust and go for it or stick to stock

Hmmmm. Makes me want to go check my volant now after the run.

I would think if your putting an oiled filter on and not oiling it properly or at all you you'd get dust leaking threw too much oil and the oil has to go some where.
