replaced K&N 1015 w/ Amsoil Ea4070

[[RT] ProjUltraZ]

big beautiful filter, added a blue nylon filter sock, fit the K&N intake perfectly.

interesting note, i ran a dry blue shop towel up into the K&N intake and it came out pretty clean, just a few patches of fine brown dust was on the towel. the last time i did that was 3 yrs ago, so the K&N does pass something, not sure what it would have looked like w/ paper filters but i'm done w/ oiled filters

It would be really interesting if you cleaned out the intake duct well, using a gentle cleaner of some kind, and then checked it again after a while using the EaA air filter. I suspect it will be clean. My experience with oiled gauze and oiled foam filters has not been good as far as passing contaminants and fouling MAF sensors. The EaA's are supposed to be pretty efficient. They don't make one for my car anyway, but if they ever introduce a new model, I might switch over to that one and see how the silicon numbers change on a UOA.

Why did you add a filter sock?

I bet it would look similar with a paper filter.

i cut a square out of the bottom of the airbox a few years ago and put a small alum scoop w/ window screen across the square, screwed the scoop on, nobody can see it anyway. it's about 6" off the ground under the nose on the left side. prob the worst place to put a ram air scoop. it's a 4th gen camaro

i didn't wash the intake but ran the wipe all over

That makes sense. I know exactly where the filter is on cold air intakes for that vehicle.

I've been running the Amsoil 4090 with my C&L intake since the car was new and gave the intake tract a 'white glove' test (wiped the inside with a bright white rag) at 10k, 20k and 30k (at which point I replaced it). There was no noticable residue on the inner intake or throttle body. Clean as a whistle! I probably could have run the original up to 50k or longer but it started to 'look' pretty dirty at 30k so I figured it was cheap insurance to just swap it out. Great intake filter.

thanks, so you shook/blew it out at 10, 20, 30K? i can't remember, does Amsoil say you can wash it?

No, you can't wash the EA filters.

I did the same. Better filtration, no oil, looks a million $$$, and cheaper.

aye i don't think i'll be seeing black dust on the MAF wires anymore

I love my amsoil filter too, I have to clean mine today.

It replaced an AEM Dryflow which wasn't bad either.

 

[[RT] ProjUltraZ]

let us know how you clean it, thanks

 

[Mau]

just going to vacuum it.
