haha, great idea 54 .... or with most of the CAIs, you can get a prefilter, excellent protection against water, dirt, dust for the cone54warrior said:Just do the DIY AirBox Mod, then get the drop in K&N Filter!
What he said. That's what I've done and it works just fine for offroad. Trust me, I work for an excavation company and mud/dirt/dust is my job. Just make you check it more often than regular if you're in extremely dusty conditions.54warrior said:Just do the DIY AirBox Mod, then get the drop in K&N Filter!
Did anyone ever prove that it helps and doesn't hurt the vortec thang?54warrior said:Just do the DIY AirBox Mod, then get the drop in K&N Filter!
i second that. aem brute force i think. its so much easyer to deal with then the oiled filters. as soon as i can pic one up, im removing my K&N cool air intake.kartman said:If you are going to spend time in the dirt the best is the AEM Dry thing, the oiled ones get real messy.
Get an outwears prefilter for it also
I figured that as a possibility but I really could not see anything shady being done to weigh things in their favor.hooligan said:that's an old true flow air filter demonstration...
anyhow, just get an aftermarket cone filter and any one of the universal-sized K&N pre-filter to place over the filter. thing works great! acts as another layer of filter media yet does not hinder airflow and more importantly, since i've got prerunner fiberglass reinforced fenders (better than glassworks) the filter just sits completely exposed to the elements, the filter is treated with a repellant hydrophobically so any water is kept from being ingested. now if you actually submerge the filter, you're screwed, but everything else... works like a champ!
HERE'S INFO FROM THE OUTERWEAR'S WEBSITE this is the actual company that manufacturers these pre-filters or as K&N calls them "prechargers" great bit of info on them.
