Bernd did mention the > difference in the air filters from K&N and the RS Akimoto replacement > filter. Some neat info I found out yesterday. The K&N/S&B uses > aluminum mesh with rubber ends. The base is solid rubber with a hard > right hand angle. Air hates to flow over such angles and then will not > use the base of the filter area for the first 1 inch to flow through. > The rubber will degrade and then be sucked into the engine with time (1 > year). The aluminum mesh is easy to bend and distort, thus losing the > ability to focus and straighten the air flow into the filter. The RS > Akimoto filter has a spun aluminum base with a velocity stack built in > to channel the air from all parts of the filter. The open end filter > element is neat, but not really a contributor to increased flow rates. > The stainless steel mesh holds its shape much better and is tougher to > bend and distort. With an all aluminum construction, there is no rubber > to degrade. This filter will not die for years. It does look smaller > than the K&N 6x9 cone. Flow is one thing, but if you have to buy a new > one every 1-2 years any worry about crimping the mesh (slowing down > flow) and rubber going in to the engine, what is the value of maybe > 50cfm maximum over the RSA filter? Just some info. > > I am trying to get the info to everyone. No cracks from Bernd from me > turning into Dakimoto or DACUDA-Rice now! LOL. > > Jim Harmon > DACUDA > >
