re: Automobile Engine Air Filters
Posted by DownshiftAndFloorIt on 1/2/26 at 9:22 pm to TexasTiger33
I would. K&N is a wet filter and wet filters only work when they are clean and wet. Sopping wet.
Any vehicle made after about 1992 has a mass air flow sensor and is fueling based on its air flow and will trip a check engine light for low air flow.
A regular paper air filter on a highway use car will last damned near forever.

*SIGH*
I design and test engines for a living. K&N air filters are total fricking junk.
You got fleeced for $70. If it really did actually make a difference, your existing filter was plugged to shite and a new OEM filter would have netted you the same performance gain without the nasty abrasive bypass into your engine.

Ive heard before that as long as you give it a harsh dose of centerfire rounds occasionally it's fine. Have heard that its going to ruin any welded suppressor in 100 rounds...
No way to really find out without sacrificing one, which obviously nobody wants to do.

I dont own one, but my suppressor nerd buddy says dead air mask is the best rimfire can.
Otherwise, good luck. Gonna be a busy couple of months for the suppressor dealers.

AB A10 7.62 for the kids rifles. Less than $500, works very well, extremely tough.
Idk about your other rigs. AB Raptor would have been my suggestion for the other long guns, but the airlock zero gravity is getting a lot of love right now and I havent seen one in the wild yet.

Are you wanting 7 different ones or cross compatibility? I see you want 3 for the kids, do you want those to be your only 3?
Whats the minimum number you want?
FWIW, I recommend going dedicated can per rifle and skip the "universal" phase that most people start out in. Everyone I know who has them started out with a big huge universal rig, eventually bought 6 more, and wish they had just started out with the 6 they like now.

Yes. Christmas consumerism alone vaults it to the top of the leaderboard by a monstrous margin.

It plays a huge part. Belts are less noisy than chains or gears and do not transmit torsional vibration.
Its also got to start and stop with minimal vibration or noise 50 bazillion times in stop and go traffic. The design constraints on modern engines are ridiculous.

Im and engineer and have had the opportunity to work closely with engineers who design this kind of stuff.
The short answer is Money, noise, vibration, harshness, and CAFE/EPA.
Making an engine that will run, last forever, and be cheap and easy to service is easy. We had that figured out in the 80's, and they got ~ 80% of the fuel economy of many modern engines. A throttle body injected pushrod V6 powered truck could get 16 or 17 mpg and have the entire engine replaced for $1500. Great, we could have stopped there.
When the requirement for the engine became that it must be silent, not vibrate, have a ton of power density, fit in a goofy engine bay and find that last 20% of fuel economy, and not have polutants in the exhaust, you get shite like this.
Oh by the way, it has to be cheap af to make for this ridiculously expensive vehicle because we work for the shareholders. What you have there is the result of companies being ran by accountants and regulations made by retards.

Id get a 0 rail and just crank it for long range. Set it up for your normal hunting situation. Playing around at 800 yards it won't really matter if you lose a little clarity or whatever. Itll easily get there with a 0 rail.
AB is a good one. Repeat: hirnady 4dof sucks.
