I don't think it's something you will have a problem with ... as I think they are now better ...

I had an old mustang with holly 4barrel carb with small stacks , and a sock filter similar to yours - but bigger

one day (car running fine) the engine started backfiring - not sure why at the time ...

then stalled - no problem - restarted after a couple of seconds - run weird for a couple of secs - then cleared

couldn't stop - because of busy traffic - thought I'd picked up a bit of water in the fuel

when I could stop - lifted bonnet , to find air filter (sock) gone - with a ring of burnt foam around the edge

the engine ate the air filter

I'm sure they are now flame retardant - but we were given oil to spray on the sock to trap dust

went back to old paper filter (looked boring) after that

fat Americans will eat anything

hope this doesn't happen to me but i have a gauze over the mouth of the ram pipe so it shouldn't as you say "eat" the sock

I'm sure it won't happen - as the a series has better manners

it was a grumpy engine which gulped a lot of air

306 ci - that in the end was killed by a mouse chewing the wire loom

yeah, i don't think a little 998 has the capability of pulling an air filter through the carb

or to suck start a leaf blower -

- Oh that's something else

[valve bounce]

looks a good shape but, the gauze on it will undo all the improvements that the pipe makes

leaf blower + american v8 = predictable destruction what happened ?

i thought so too but honestly i only brought this too sound coolio and that tiny bit of mesh surely won't restrict that much air flow ? not as much as covering the end with foam any way

[stretch tech]

right i've fitted them now
