Howdy y'all!
I've got a secret skunk works intake project on the horizon and i was thinking about using one of those edelbrock air filters that are somewhat triangular (reminds me of a praying mantis head) with black foam inside.
The design , shape and mounting (and price) are all perfect for my project but i'm a little concerned about the filter media. it seems to be just plain foam like that which might offer supplemental cushioning in a bicycle helmet. another example of what it might be like is the kind of foam that k-n makes their pre-filters out of, but a little more dense.
does anyone out there have any experience with these things? its going on a pretty new engine so i'd hate to compromise it over a little convenience if the filter does in fact offer inferior filtration.
any help on this would be useful because i'd like to get this thing done soon. thanks in advance,
danny
