Filter Sucked In?
 

I cleaned out my cold air filter this weekend before I went to the drags and part of the filter is caved in like something hit it. I have the AFE stage 2 intake so the filter is fully inclosed so something hitting it sounds really doubtful. A couple guys I work with said that it might have collapsed from overboosting. With what I have I'm pushing a little over 60lbs boost and I was running the same setup last time I washed the filter (about 2 weeks ago)/ Anyone heard of this or had a similiar problem?

60 pounds of boost can do that.

How sucked in is it?


Youre running twins with a stage 2 AFE??

Really? Its not to bad... When I discovered the problem, the side was somewhat folded into the filter. I'll have to take some pics tomorrow when I get a chance. Yes I'm running the afe stage 2 with the aurora twin turbo set up

Would like to see some pics of your setup....

Yeah, Ive seen quite a few trucks with sucked in filters and most of them had single hairdryers.

i know my AFE is sucked in aswell and im only running 45psi

I'll get some pics up sometime this week if I don't today, its all rainy outside but once it clears up I'll go snap a couple pics.

So is it just something I'm going to have to live with or is their any filter that can stand up to this?

A buddy had an oil change at the dealer and they forgot to put the oil filler cap back on and it sucked the stock filter into a cone shape... if that helps any.

Now thats interesting.

when i first started tweaking on my truck i would suck a stock filter up every time i got in it at about 40lbs boost. Then made and intake and fixed that.
