pyromanic Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 So I just ordered one of these: http://shop.knfilters.com/KNShop/Product.aspx?pid=85-8927 but from Summit, ($20.00 cheaper). Now I need to decide what to do with the two filters. Silicone hose to where ever I mount them? Where on this lifted wagon is the least dusty air availiable? It's a half a mile of super dusty road to my house from blacktop, and I run a lot of forest service roads too. For all I know, (which aint much) the least dusty place for the filters is under hood? I don't really do much in the way of puddle jumping, dust is my main concern. What do guys think, up on the roof or stay under the hood? It's a Weberised 85 wagon, PK lifted.

SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 WTF is that thing anyway? The cab of my rig can get pretty dusty if I don't roll the windows up. A snorkle can help too if you don't want your motor breathing up all your breathing air. Depends on your driving habits(reverse fwd donuts kick up $#!t all over man!!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyromanic Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 He he! Ya, I thought of the cab, but too noisy, and might suffocate. I was kinda suprised at how much noisier the Weber was than the Hicrappy. It really sucks. (which is good, right?) At first I thought a double plenum on top of a weber was overkill, but then I remembered how a long time ago I was fooling around with trying to make a snorkel for the weber with an intake off a SPFI on top of the carb, and it was too restrictive. Made a flat bog spot at med RPM. And the K&N single plenum job doesn't look to have a neck on it any larger than the tube of the SPFI intake, I thought, well, to make sure it gets enough air, why not two tubes to two filters? And fat silcone hose comes in all kinds of cool colors for the cool factor, not that chrome will getcha home, but come on,, what's wrong with the set up looking fun? It's IS a toy after all. (in spite of the fact that it's my dayley driver, since the chev P.U. sucks gas like a V-8. (Oh, wait a minute, it IS a V-8) My expanded metal grill is cherry red, gonna paint my front and rear calipers blue, not sure on mustache bar and rear yet. Probably blue. Car is silver. I'm thinking the snorkel hoses might oughta be canary yellow, and mount the filters up on the roof rack. Pyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Those air filter adapters used to be made by JAM Engineering. Wonder if they still sell them? I have the single filter model on my car, paid under $60 for it. My filter is tucked up in the spare tire space inside a plastic juice bottle to keep it dry when swamping. For that double filter plenum, how about one of those big cylinder shaped truck filters with openings on both ends? 90' pipe fitting coming out each end of the filter and hoses to the plenum?
