[quote][i]Originally posted by vibrio[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Joff[/i] As good as any decent air filter on the market, but better :) How do you measure how "good" an air filter is? You [b]should[/b] really be measuring how well the filter filters - that's what it's there for at the end of the day. Performance air filters are all about increasing air flow at the expense of filtration. A paper element is always going to be the best medium to filter particles out of the air. Cotton-gauze filters like K&N/Green improve on the air flow and retain a lot of the filtration, but it's very dependant on how soiled the filter is. Out of the box, cotton-gauze filters perform badly - they need a bit of surface dirt to help them out - god knows why, but that's the urban myth behind it. Foam filters like Pipercross, Ramair, etc let a lot more air through for great power gains (on applications where the paper element is restrictive) and also filter all the harmul particles. Stainless steel mesh like Blitz, Powertec, etc are the best for airflow (well, next to removing the filter medium completely) but are never going to compete with the other types in terms of how much they can filter out of the air. Powertec and I'm sure Blitz too, have a good level of filtration. As far as I know, most others out there are pretty much cosmetic items only. So you'd be just as good with a KFC bargain bucket with a few holes punched through the end :lol: [/quote] blitz are terrible for filtration [/quote]
