Title: IDF Air Cleaners Post by: andrewlandon67 on November 03, 2023, 04:04:00 am Anyone have any opinions on the best non-billet air cleaners for IDFs? Don't need a breather hole and am willing to spend some cash, the cheap chrome ones I have are already starting to wear down, though are miles better than the Empi billet ones I had on the car for years that stripped out studs and were generally just a massive hassle.

Not sure how efficient they are though. Vintage Speed filters are beautifully made and accept K&N filter elements. I had a pair when I was running carbs.Title: Re: IDF Air Cleaners Post by: karmi on November 06, 2023, 02:09:41 am I use Ram Air Filters

They have an early Porsche style to them. Not sure how efficient they are though. I've definitely looked at both of those, they're a bit pricy but they both look great and seem better built than what I've run in the past. As far as efficiency goes, I have K&N elements so I'm more concerned about just how well they're made and fitment.

My only concern with those is that some of the pictures show an upper brace between the uprights that goes right over the velocity stacks, did you have any issues with that?

Awesome, thanks for the info! It might not be immediately but I'll definitely be ordering a pair of those as soon as I can! |
