AIS Question...

As seen on AMSOIL's website.

"The **AIS PART NUMBER** should only be installed on stock, unmodified engines. Not recommended for engines with performance enhancing devices such as electronic chips, turbo-chargers, or exhaust systems"

Is this true or just covering their own butt?

No thats not true. The Donaldson filter used in the AIS flows really good(even better with fender sleeve installed) and I don't know of any stock or aftermarket filter that even try to claim to filter dirt better than the AIS. The only thing is the cost of the filters but they don't need to be changed until filter minder says so , not by looking at the filter to see if it is dirty. Sometimes this could be 60,000 to 100,000k depending on how dusty and dirty the conditions you use your truck in.

I agree. I have the AIS/ Optional Fender Sleeve set up on my 2002 F350. My 7.3 couldn't be happier.

x3 - with the AIS & fender sleeve I'm running @ 350 hp on the F-250 and it hasn't been an issue.

AIS with a 4" exhaust and DP Tuner. I guess I'm breaking the law here.

I also forgot to mention my 4 inch MBRP Exhaust works well with my AIS/Sleeve set up. My EGT's are lower.

I think the only time you'll run into problems with the AIS with the fender sleeve is if you go to a bigger turbo running high boost. It should flow plenty for 75% of us.

I wouldn't worry about what Amsoil has to say regarding a competing filter (AIS Donaldson). No problems here with AIS + sleeve.

Another law breaker here running an AIS with a DP tuner & no issues.
