[QUOTE=Batgeek]. Just like why don’t they put 4” or 5” exhaust on the trucks so they can breathe better? Why don’t they tune them to higher HP since that seems to be what everybody wants? Why did they make the Pinto and Mustang 2? I and many others have pondered on these questions for years without any resolution. Many have just decided that the designers and engineers either don’t care what we want, are on drugs, or both. As far as the filters go I believe that they are just incapable of thinking outside of the box (pun intended).[/QUOTE

International had a couple but think the last died in the early 70s with the DV 550
Ford had a couple but best I remember were farm and industrial engines
