DRY flow filter alternative for JLT CAI?

[Z25OH]

I have a CF JLT CAI, but i hate the fact that its an oiled filter and the hassle time it takes to clean the filter and oiling it. I know the dimension are 4.5x9inches too, has anyone out there done a filter swap to dry? Also idk if 4.5 if the mouth of the filter or the base of the cone:shrug:

I was looking into r2c, aem, afe filters so far

thnx

AEM Universal Round Tapered Cone Air Filters:beer:

Looks like 21-2069 would do the trick.

Good question. My JLT is most definitely in need of a cleaning. I am not really interested in cleaning it.

here you go,

AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters (EaAU)


measure your old filter & find one that matches or is to your liking & either find an amsoil dealer in your area or on line & your set.

the last one I bought from a local amsoil guy for my 2000 gt's airaid kit was in the 50 dollar range.

I'd check out Airaid too. Their filters are great quality.

Just an FYI if you're interested in trying our dry filter out, we have all of our universal cone-style filters listed by dimension here:

AIRAID - The Performance Intake Company

The SynthMax is the dry filter; SynthaFlow is the same filter with oiled media.

thanks everyone!

I have plenty of options, now i just have to measure the "mouth" of the filter unless someone already know it??!?? lol

If you end up going through and measuring and ordering, please post up your results in the how-to section. This is something I've been looking to do for some time now.

We were talking with S&B at SEMA about their dry filters and they tell me they flow just as good as the oiled and sometimes better.

Would you guys like the option to order kits with oiled or dry filters? And would you like us to stock replacement dry filters for our kits?

Let me know

I would definitely go for the choice of a dry filter. I'm in the market for the JLT now as a matter of fact.

First post! Wooo!

Yes. I would buy the dry filter from you if you had one in the proper size.

Good Idea Tuck

 

[twistedneck]

I would also like JLT to stock the dry replacement filter. Heck i'd buy two.

 

[SILV03MustangGT]

I would pick one up as well.

 

[george.arnold]

I'm in for a dry filter as well. Let us know when you are stocking them.

FWIW there are numerous tests that show the filter element itself, regardless of media, poses negligible restriction, even when "dirty," dirty being a relative term. Many people are of the opinion that once the filter goes from its original pretty red or blue to grey it needs to be cleaned. In reality the filter has to be practically caked with dirt before it needs servicing. As dirt builds up it acts as a barrier and filter performance actually improves. The other bit of info that came from testing, which probably won't come as much of a surprise, is that the oiled gauze filters provided the worst filtering action.
