Default Good Air filter Information

Here are some Air Filter comparison facts that appear to be backed up with solid evidence.

That looks like some good info!
Say, I wonder if they can do a test of those things that go in the intake tract and impart spin on the air for amazing power gains.

I did my own 'shade tree' testing and found stainless steel wire mesh works best, you can get it in most any micron and it flows great, just pull it off, wash it in the sink and go.........

Wow! Eye opening info. Kind of makes me wonder about my K&N!

Thanks!

Nobody should be amazed that the filter that lets in the most air (K&N) is also the poorest at trapping dirt and dust. The AC which lets in the least amount of air also lets in the least dirt. Do you think the same is true of low restriction oil filters?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

I think I'll keep the K&N. At least it keeps out the big chuncks.
