Air Filter Tests to ISO-5011
Nicely done & graphed air filter tests. It's a little dated, but non the less interesting info that I've posted links to over the years, but Spicer has moved his hosting , so here is a new link to the test.

Numerous dyno pulls on stock engines show that at the normal operating range most folks operate in, the stock air intake isn't restrictive, so use the specified Motorcraft air filters on our factory cold air intake system with confidence.
I can get the Motorcraft filters at my local Motorcraft Distributor for less than Wally World, so thats what my Ford rides get.
On the Cummins site a few years ago, they noted that those using oiled foam, or cotton gauze air filters, would have warranty for scuffed cyls denied & put up photos of scuffed cyl engines from folks that had been using such.
Too bad that the Purolator air filter was found to have a defective seal, so its results got corrupted & even so it did pretty well.

Does this mean I should chunk the little K&N on my 87 Subaru Brat. It has been up there nearly 14 years and the little bugger has nearly 230k miles. Okay maybe only have 100k on the K&N. Know a guy who bought one of those fast SS Chevies back in the 90's. He installed a K&N with about 10k miles and sold it years ago with 165k and no problems. Maybe, cause I am no expert, that super fine dust that gets through is not as big of a deal as we think. Or maybe if we stick to the road and not the desert. Just wondering. Kind of like if we could have absolute oil filtering, would we have enough flow?
