Air filter test
#31
The testing is based on statistical methods. I work with statistics on a daily basis in my line of work. You can make statistics support a number of different sides depending on what you want to do with the numbers. I have seen this testing before, and it is probably as accurate as you will find. Question is how worried about those sub micron particles are you? I've always run K&N on what I could and have nver had a failure due to those tiny particles. Take it as it is... Numbers!

What a joke I try and post some information that none of you are aware of and this is what happens? While that test may not been perfect to accused the members of Diesel Place of being biases is BS. I have see dust in more then a few intakes of K&N equipped vehicles.
I hate to post links to another forum mods if you want delete them I would understand here are some of the threads from DP.

All that test really shows is the AC Delco is great at catching dirt but is more restrictive than say the AFE or K&N. Thats nothing new in the world of air filters. To gain air flow you have to give up restriction. What causes restriction in the filter? The media. The more you combat trying to catch smaller and smaller particles the more media you need, making a more restrictive filter.

At the same time please don't take offense when others offer their opinions also. Debate and comparing info is one of the best ways to keep info accurate as well as up to date. Many of yesterdays proven facts are todays old urban legends.

Water under the bridge I just wasn't happy to see the accusations flying.
99 is dead on the point of the test was to provide info so members could chouse a filter that would suit there needs. The stock 01-05 Dmax filter assembly and filter was flow tested IIRC to flow enough air to support 500HP and the 06+ are even better.

Ah, but heres the difference...the K&N is only 4 layers of cotton, and the S&B is 7 layers. Much like an AFE....
Personally, I dont like K&N and do have real world experience with the filter to back up my claims....if anyone is looking to buy a K&N drop in, please PM me...Id love to sell it.

I'd be happy sell a drop in for an 06 cummins actually I don't think I could do that to a fellow ctd owner. It gunked up my turbine wheel in about 2K miles.
