My life is fulfilled. Thank you.
Don’t be a troll.
I knew this would bring harmony and utopia to the likes of the most prestigious BITOGers.
Take a peek at the DENSO filter I cut and posted from nthach. I did burn test in that adbv. Nice video and post also
Any 'burn test' with no standardized procedure and no predefined pass/fail criteria is just a guy smoking in the garage.
Absolutely. It worked incredibly well. The point of this wasn’t to insinuate it’s a poor or underperforming product, but just to verify some old marketing claims (which I now can’t find). When this filter first came out they had a graphic of it’s innards and it labeled the ADBV as silicone so I had just always assumed that was correct.
Regardless of the material type my experience with this filter has always been great; however, my OCIs have always been per the Subaru maintenance schedule and not extended.
It’s my understanding that silicone will not continuously burn after it’s on fire. It extinguishes itself. Had I not blown out this flame the entire thing would have burned up.
Additionally, I understand and appreciate the desire for lab quality tests and criteria, but this is BITOG and not an ISO facility infoshare. My results are not definitive and are simply the product of curiosity. I’m more than happy for someone to share how to material test for a higher quality answer.
…until then enjoy the smoke!
Can you DM me the link?
Ask be ye shall receive. It’s on 2nd page way down.

The only troll is the guy with the YouTube video. The results could have been summarized in 2 sentences.
And that has been discussed here as well. Supply chain problems likely led the company to switch to nitrile temporarily. If they had been forthcoming a small tag or note indicating that the ADBV was nitrile due to supply issues. Even with that, 99.5% of buyers would have no idea what that meant.
Agreed, but 99.5% or buyers don’t cruise BITOG. Come forth my fellow nerds and burn thy filter components… for (very shaky) science!
If you think that is shaky then it shows you don’t know science.
Guys I don’t think he liked my video.
You’ll be alright, fella and you have the freedom to never click on my content again.

Not really even sure what that’s in reference to, but I was just trying to add some humor. I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve stated, but just making clarifications from my end.

Your burn test is not shaky science.
Wrong ... it's a valid test. Can you or anyone else who's a doubter prove it's not?
