Good choice for tight spaces

Clean item as described, perfect for those hard to reach places. An alternative if you can't install the regular ones. I like it a lot but it gets dirty easily so wash it.

Pros
  • Low maintenance design: 50,000 miles before first cleaning under normal road driving conditions.
Cons
  • So-so

COMPACT SIZE -

Large compact size just after turbo. The customization left me with some tricky routing issues, but it was an easy fix. Fits great, looks great and works great!

Pros
  • Filters are eco-friendly: Using a reusable, washable product helps reduce replacement waste.
Cons
  • Some bugs

This is a cone filter suitable for small engines.

Looks good, nothing shows through the gauze material. But I think it might not be enough for big engines. I'm not a racer, but the cross-sectional area of the inlet (hard to describe, but does the inverted cone of the filter seem to clog it?) looks like it's a bottleneck less than 3 inches in diameter. Probably more than enough for 4 and 6 cylinder engines but may be limited for larger V8 engines.

Pros
  • Easy Installation: The clip-on design makes it one of the easiest and most affordable upgrades for your vehicle to quickly improve performance.
Cons
  • Periodicity

Full Cone Air Cleaner

This heavy duty filter is solidly built and arrived on time. It is approximately 5" deep with a rubber grommet around the 3" diameter filter mouth. Works well with cold air systems. air filter. The weight comes from the chromed metal body. Prepare for battle when you're ready to take it out of the box. This is one of those sealed operations that requires the use of some sort of cutting device to free the air filter.

Pros
  • World Class Protection: Pushes the limits of engine protection by shielding it from harmful contaminants.
Cons
  • I will add later

My Turbo Choo

A ghost, as always, in case of need. My old filter was twice the size and terribly dirty from what it was supposed to do. This new white filter is smaller, making it easier to see when it needs to be replaced. Fits perfectly, turbo sounds sooo good and fits 3 inches. Turbo power on demand. Arrived on time, in the correct box and unopened packaging, everything looked just right. I opened the sealed package it was in and examined it fully. Seen, felt and smelled how it should be. I don't normally

Pros
  • saves you money: Specter High Flow replacement air filters save you $250 over 10 years by eliminating disposable filters.
Cons
  • Something else

No seals No wheels for spares

After installing the new muffler, the choice of the cone filter made sense. After attaching, the filter makes a noise that doesn't sound like my stock airbox. It's not as obvious as a turbo, but it's nicer than the last drops of a soft drink through a straw. All of this happens at around 3000 rpm on my vacuum truck. On the smooth and flat surfaces of the Autobahn, the filter won my heart. Unfortunately, due to my poor fit, the downsides of removing my stock components have become startlingly…

Pros
  • Special Power: State-of-the-art filter media deliver 50% more airflow than disposable paper filters for more power and acceleration. Clogged or dirty air filters can reduce your car's acceleration by up to 10%.
Cons
  • A long time ago
