Ran stock, K&N, AFE dry and BMS at the dragstrip with no improvement in performance or sound with my Base 19 NPP A8. No codes from any of them. More likely would see some sort of a improvement on a Z06 or ZR1. The AFE I would say has the best quality of the ones I had tried, I was not impressed by the Quality of BMS that I received and the lack of customer support phone number. I had not tried the AB.

The BMS filter is $70 with the forum coupon and flows more air. It isn't reusable but about 30k miles with the most filtration. The washable filters do let more dust and dirt through which if you have a Non-Z06 is much worse but the Z06 filter is in a slightly better housing to not get pelted by sand.

@HorsePowerObsessed

5 жыл бұрын

You saw the condition of mine and that was only in there for about 5,000 miles. The price difference is easily worth having a reusable filter. The nano fiber definitely does not allow more dirt in it actually filters out more than the BMS or stock filter does while allowing better flow as well. I did some research on it before I even decide to talk about it and this nano fiber is really good stuff for the air filters.

@DirtDude117

5 жыл бұрын

HorsePower Obsessed I have 22k on mine (Z51 car) and it's in slightly better shape. I do blow it out with compressed air when I do oil changes though. They still flow fine even when slightly dirty. The oiled style filters and Nano filters do have less filtration especially after cleaned properly. They do work better for forced Induction but not without a cost of long term durability. On our 1200HP ZR1 (LS9) a higher flow filter matters for racing. When we tore into a 50k mile old rebuilt LS7 that had a few K&Ns and a 230k mile OEM maintained one guess which one had less wear and was cleaner? Both using the same throttle body, manifold, and difference in intake filters was the only thing. The higher milage engine did get RPM heads installed when we opened it up but we were curious. Weird finding but I still run my Nano filter on my Spec Miata since I do open the engine up every other season.

Geez, your car SHINES. Beautiful. How can an air filter possibly cause a CEL? What is the code from the CEL? If an air filter flows better, other numbers might be off, like the amount of air passing the MAF sensor, and also LTFT. But neither of these things are necessarily related to the air filter as far as the MFC is concerned. OMG. Where do you drive? Needing oil is exactly why I DON'T use K&N. Your car sounds GREAT! It's too bad nobody makes a decent, yet inexpensive exhaust system. It'd be nice if someone made something a hair quieter than an open pipe. Considering the technology is so basic for muffler building, it is shocking the lack of decent choices. Borla is good, but way too expensive considering it's just pipes and cans. Cans with baffles, as mufflers typically are, is still VERY low tech.

Yup. I saw that. Insane how accurate the renderings were.

Why not a KN filter? Best filter out there.

K&N air filters require oil and don't actually filter the air that well. They have been proven to not really be that good. They help increase power by filtering less. Nanofiber allows better filtration with better flow without oil.

You're welcome! 😊

I am going to buy my air filter from this company called general motors, from what what I gather, they have a couple of engineers who have experience in the internal combustion engine. Show me your flow bench if you are going recommend ban air filter, give me something to rely on other than your opinion. Pressure drop at a known flow rate with a given particle size (microns) end of story.

Michael, you are an idiot. Wow, do some research before putting your hands on your keyboard.

Personally, I do not believe any simple static filter, with the same surface area, can have better flow and the same filtration. If it lets more air through, it lets more dirt through. The only answer to more flow is more surface area if filtration is maintained. That said, I still use high flow oiled K&N filters because I'd rather have the power than the filtration. I've done a lot of testing, and a larger K&N adds noticable power and throttle response, and I'm sure it does NOT filter as well a cheap paper element. But I have never seen a credible study that nano/perfect filtration is needed, either. It seems that anything that can pass through any reasonable filter isn't going to do harm.

Harm? No, but it will lead to dirtier oil faster. That is where any dirt from your intake ends up. The idea is to filter the best you can without sacrificing flow. Nanofiber is the answer to that. There is a lot of research out there suggesting this to be the best setup for filtration and air flow. K&N filter will flow well but not capture as much dirt and the oil used on the filter will make it harder to clean and a possible problem to MAF sensors.

@@HorsePowerObsessed Its actually a pretty complex trade space. For example, doubling your flow rate is easy, just add a custom intake with two of the OEM filters. BMS makes an N54 intake that splits to accommdate two filters in just that way, thus doubling the flow. But doubling the surface area, whether its by adding 2X the folds to a single element, or by adding another filter element, ALSO exactly doubles dirt passage. You could accomplish the exact same thing by using a single filter with media that is half as restrictive and half as effective--K&N for example. So it's not always so obvious what attributes you are trading, or if more expensive larger surface area filters are better than cheap media with less filtration.

Actually, $130 for a filter is crazy, actually!

Right. And it's actually suggested to be replaced at least once a year maybe more depending on the climate you live in. Replace it three times and you're at the same cost as a reusable filter that also gains you some horsepower. Actually seems like a no-brainer to me...

if you really want to think that way then you can change it just so it's reusable and you don't have to purchase another one whenever the stock one gets dirty. There are a lot of other benefits that I listed in the video but for the naysayers, it's still reusable. 👍
