After only 24 minutes the K&N had accumulated 221gms of dirt but passed 7.0gms.
Compared to the AC, the K&N “plugged up” nearly 3 times faster, passed 18 times more dirt
and captured 37% less dirt."
Thanks for clarifying; interesting comparison though I wonder how well the Green filters that were originally supplied with the Honkers would compare. They are a pleated oiled fabric as opposed to gauze like what is used in the K&N.

My friend gave me a brand new vararam air bridge because it wouldn't fit his car, and after I attempted to put it on mine I understood how bad their product is for the money, I'm glad mine was free because it helped me not feel bad when I threw it in the trash
