TV,
>DR - I noticed the filters as soon as you posted the pics of those great looking kits,
>but i didn't want to introduce any negativity on such a fine effort.
I appreciate the comments, but I don't have any problems with honest feedback or comments, negative or positive.
> Are there any oil-less cone filters out there?
Yes I am looking at those, but due to the location I feel the reusable type would be best.
>That truck looks awesome,
Thanks!
>does it use gas?
Yes, about 17-18mpg with 5 people and a loaded bed full of 928 parts at steady 80mph cruise (7 hour trip to Frenzy).
>Is that blue filter 928 compatible?
Yes, it is a 928 filter, exact size and shape of the K&N. The ram air kit was advertised as having a K&N filter, but it arrived with that blue one. I think it is one of the Green Filter versions (they make them in different colors) and plan to call the Ram Air guys to confirm brand. I also noticed it was not oiled and need to investigate it further.
> I have wanted something better like a foram airhog but there are those here that will say the stock >flows as good as any.
I haven't tried those yet, but Wally has done some research and found the Green Filter brand was flow rated far and above every other brand including K&N.

>DR, I though your ram scoops were 'dummies'?
So did I, until I found the manufacturer of the hood and they sent me the "kit". :-)

It is true that K&N can mess up the hot wire MAF of a 928. My experience is that this is more likely to be due to over-enthusiastic oiling afrer cleaning.
For that reason I don't recommend K&N for >MY85 928s
Regards

>If possible can you respond to the bump stop question when I transfer the OEM coilvoer pieces to the new springs and shocks?
You always use (or reuse) the rubber bump stops. The only part not used (that is not included) when going from Boges to Bilsteins is the little metal gold colored cap.
Is this what you mean?

Matt,
>DR, Do you have a part # from Ford or the company that made the kit for the filter?
APM Automotive is the manufacturer of the hood and airbox kit, here is the link to the kit:

If & when my MAF finally goes I believe I will go back to paper. Then no more wondering IF I am fouling my sensor or underoiling my filter.

You got it right except for the "little metal colored cap", again thast only fits boges and konis, not used on Bilsteins.
Just so we don't futher hijack this thread call me tomorrow or e-mail me if I can help you more with this.

At the next dyno day I might run K&N versus stock. The neat thing about K&N is that you can thoroughly clean it whenever you want to, like, right before a dyno day. Stock filters you can try to blow out particles, but it is not the same degree of clean. I wonder how a K&N would do against a new stock orange filter and then against a used stock orangish brownish filter. You can bring a K&N to as new. If you want "as new" with orange filters you gotta keep buying new ones - a whole lotta them.
How often do you replace the oranges? Annually?

I hear you, but must question. If someone is going to dyno to see how good their car is, they would probably make sure everything is fit and in good working order before showing up. Some may check plugs, wires, even pop in that new air filter that they have in the 928 Intl or 928 Specialists box in the garage. I like to run fuel injector cleaner a week before going anywhere eventful. I would certainly clean my air filter before going.
So when the tests are done, stock old and dirty or stock new and spotless?
Have to question these things.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks!

K&N. Reusable. And keeps you from getting speeding tickets. ![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
Not sure how much filtering the poorly fitting K&N does.
But when I look through factory paper filter at a light source, I don't see
anything on the other side.
Look through a K&N, and I can see through pinhole openings of the bright light.
DR, where can we find Green Filter Brand 928 air filter.
Just went to your website and I didn't see it there. Yet?
