Thanks Nate. Ya I'm into simple, if I can just pickup a scrap yard Duramax intake and install it would be the goal. When you talkin OEM, CFM, Media material and all the various specs, your a little out of my league. I prefer to leave the scientific studies to the great minds on here.

Ok I see where we're going now.
I'd take a stab at emailing AC Delco to see if they make a filter equivilant to the A1618C (one from the test) to fit into a XX year Dodge CTD. Would save some fab work. And ofcourse if they don't then you can hack away at getting the Duramax set-up to fit.
Could also hit the GM boards and see if anyone would part with their set-up that has gone to an aftermarket.

Received that from AC Delco this afternoon. Sent a reply trying to get alil more information out of em as to if the A1341C and A1618C share similar filtering media and level of performance. I have a feeling I'm not going to get anything definte other then they meet the manufacturers spec's. So we'll see what happens.
Anything new Delco on this.
Without havin to go into Einstein's threory of relativity, what would stop a guy from just taking the Duramax filter and mounting it on my intake. To much air, to little not enough fitering or any other problems that my little brain doesn't know about.
