K&N Air Filters???

[Mother]

I don't know about more performance. But I use K & N filters in my pick up and I use a 14 x 3 round K & N filter, with the K & N 14 inch hat since my unit went on the road. I like the round filter better than the 2 inch x 18 inch cobra filters because there are less vortexes created by the round filters. I see the oblong filter on alot of the AC Cobra motors. My engine builder suggested using the round K & N filters with the K & N hat beacuse it was best for my engine.

By "hat" do you mean the FilterCharger top?

I use a 9" FilterCharger on my Cobra, it fits up into the hood scoop just like this:



Without it I might have to run a VERY restrictive shorter but larger diameter filter b/c of my limited hood clearance.

In the above post, you can see the filter I use.

I've seen filter tests conducted by David Vizard where a K&N filter covered with 1/4 inch thick of mud flowed more air per square inch than a NEW average paper air filter.

The cotton/wire filters air better and has less percentage loss in filtration over a filter service interval than ANY other filter medium.

It's been written a lot about the increased flow these K&N's have over paper filters and that they grab smaller particles of dirt than paper filters.The sceptics need not worry certain the gain is not enough to lose sleep over.
A lot of us perfectionists need to know there is nothing better we can do to help improve the performance of our beloved rides.Our shop has everything that breaths air cars trucks,tractors motorcycles,even the air compressor drawing air through K&N air filters.
