Air filter on webers

[Eljaro]

Webers just breathe better with open stacks and light screens.

Considering that Cobras do not make many miles anyway and that anything that will outlive me (I am 62) is just not a consideration anymore, running Webers with screens just to keep the rocks out is plenty enough.

I'll let my heirs take care of the rebuilt.

I've rebuilt countless race engines that were run without filers (Triumph (motorcycle & car), H-D, Jaguar, MG, Ford, Datsun, etc. After three or race weekends the motors were ready for a rebore. Putting a low resiriction airfilter on those same engines did not result in lower laps times & allowed the engine to last an entire season. Resulting teardown s showed negligible wear.

Your choice.

I've ran several weber systems with K&N filters similar to those in post # 16 above. They ran great. A properly designed air filtration system will not impact a weber system that is jetted for it. It does take exra effort to set up however, and some people take a convienent shortcut then justify it by stating, "it runs better without filters"


total hogwash.
