            On my three trucks. They improve gas milelage, throtle response and are light weight. I don't have any cons about them, they fit easily into any position then again I have plenty of room under the hoods of all three trucks: (1). 89 Chevy C1500 reg. cab 4.3L (2). 97 Dodge Ram 1500 ext. cab 5.2L and (3). 00 Chevy Tahoe Z71 5.7L

                I had this filter on my 01 impala 3.4L and it made a big difference in throttle response and had good sound, now its currently on my 89 beretta GT 2.8L and it was so much better than the box tht was on there. Im getting a big enough HP gain tht i can hear and feel. This filter is worth it if your looking into starting a home fabricated cold air intake

                    Used this as a replacement filter on my cold-air intake that I fabbed myself, saved me alot of money compared to other filters available. Keeping an extra filter on hand saves alot of down-time, when you clean and re-oil one you have one to use, instead of waiting for the one being cleaned to dry. Heck, for the price, some people use them till they get dirty and just throw them away.

                          A:

                          Most High-Flow Air Filters come pre-oiled, but when its time to clean them, you'll need both the cleaner and the oil. Take your filter out. Shake it to loosen the dirt: Tap the filter gently on a hard surface to dislodge loose dirt. Tap the head of a filter. Tap a panel filter dirt side down. Do not tap any filter on its edges. Remember to tap gently. Use a soft brush and brush off as much dirt as you can: Gently brush the dirt side of filter with a soft bristle brush. Spray Air Filter Cleaner liberally onto the entire element. Let the Cleaner soak into the filter media for 10 minutes. After the Cleaner soaks for 10 minutes, rinse the filter with low pressure water. Always flush opposite the direction of air flow ie: from the clean side to the dirty side. This removes the dirt and does not drive it further into the filter media. After rinsing, shake off the excess water and let the element dry at room or outside air temperature. Do not use compressed air because it will damage the filter media. Do not use heat from any source to dry a your filter. Heat will shrink the filter media and may damage the rubber base, top or end caps. Once the filter is dry, apply the oil... SPRAY OILING: Spray Air Filter Oil from a distance of about 10 inches onto a group of pleats. Spray each group of pleats only once. Spray oil onto the filter media such it becomes reddish in color. Let the filter sit for 10 minutes then respray any areas that are still white. SQUEEZE BOTTLE OR TUBE OILING: Squeeze Air Filter Oil onto each pleat. Let the filter sit for 20 minutes as the oil "wicks" into the surrounding filter media. Apply more Filter Oil to areas that are still white. OILING NOTE: Never put a your filter in service without oiling it. The filter will not function properly without being oiled. Air Filter Oil is a unique blend of mineral and organic oil base stocks and special polymers that form a very efficient "tack barrier". Red dye is added to show areas of oil application. Eventually, the dye fades but the oil remains to filter the air. Do not use automatic transmission fluid, any kind of motor oil or diesel fuel to oil a you air filter. Do not use "WD-40", "LPS" or any other type of light-weight spray lubricants to oil your air filter. Any of those products will damage the filter or degrade its filtering ability. A filter used on an engine that is regularly operated in a fine dust environment will require frequent re-oiling of the filters clean side in between cleanings. Put the filter back on your car. Re-install your Air Filter with care.
