These filters use a stainlees steel screen for the filtering duties. Which means that it will stay cleaner a lot longer than a gauze filter. And if it ever does need cleanning just simply throw it in the dishwasher and then reinstall when dry. The filtration is comperable to that of a K&N and i have had no problems with it on for a year now.Originally posted by nocturnalVX
How do these things stack up against stock filters/ aftermarket "washable" filters?
Looks like a very cool mod, and I would be interested in adding this to my VX if, in addition to the added Hp, I was sure it could keep feeding clean air (even off-road).
Oh... and the hood needs to be able to close!
And yes the hood does close and clears everything by at least 1.5".....;Dr;
