Best aftermarket air filter?

[salbers88]

I'm building a short ram air intake for my 3500 and was wondering whats the best flowing cone filter I can tip it with?

K&N, AEM, etc.

Doesn't matter. They all suck in more dirt than a paper filter but they also outflow it. Why is it short ram? Its a tube with no "ram" properties at all. Its sucking in warm air which is probably worse than your stock setup. Go cold air through a fender or cowl or ram air setup through the hood.

ok but what filter flows the best for performance?

I seem to like Mr Coffee more, leaves a better bolder taste

There are filters that are made of steel mesh that supposedly flow the best but filter the least. Apexi cone-filters filter the best but might not be reuseable.

Is sucking more dirt into the engine worth an extra 3-5 HP? I personally will stick with the stock airbox. It has been proven stock Delco filters are the best for filtration.

better yet lets put an ionic breeze quatra on!
"the dust is atracted to one of three metal plates and the ROCKETED! into the room (cough i mean engine) for the freashness"

i figure if what ever is small enough to get past one of those cone filters it wont do much harm to the engine. i personally like the ones from autozone they have the outer and inner cones... i feel they let the air flow better with less turbulance. and they come in one of three primary colors! lol

yah, umm auto zone no....K&N xstream filters with the filter in the end, yes, or an S&B powerstack inverted cone. i like the K&N because it is proven over the years, just dont overoil it. they do make foam filters that are supposed to do the same thing, forget who makes them though

i still say Mr. Coffee FTW...decaf or regular
