Does anybody have an open air, air filter intead of the stock box air filter. If so does it work fine, is there room. I have K&N open air kit that I didnt use on my Dodge Im going to try to make somthing work today.

Post some pictures. I'd love to see what you make.

I've been considering upgrading my airbox to the later style round filter instead of my stock square one....Then I saw the price of the round filters, so today I cleaned my good ol square K&N once again ;)


But I to would like to see what you've done Ruben.

I use a Wix HD filter. It's bigger that the standard round filter so the cover does not fit, I don't use it anyways, so it sits in the filter box and I use permatec black to make a seal on the air intake tube and tyrap the filter in place.

Has anyone tried one of these?

I realize that it would draw intake air from the engine compartment, but it would attach directly to the turbo inlet, and it would look pretty neat.Edited by: Texas Diesel Guy

would you suck in the hot air causing problems with IAT and stuff like that. I have something like that on my caprice but it has a plate built to keep hot engine air from the intake air stream

You mean like this...

hum maybe slightly larger to seal off the engine compartment completely

TDG, i put one of those on my 95 turbo inlet just for a test, made no difference in any power but in just 1 short 100 km trip it was full of bugs and debri's, i removed it when i got home. Looked cool, that was about its only function. I think there's alot less area to them also so i'm sure they'd plug up alot sooner.

oh....nevermind then ;)

texas diesel guy: i have one of those newer round k&n air filters off of my 97 i would trade you for a fsd?

filter box included?

dont know. im still using it as of know. the filter alone is $60 new.
