Best Drop in Paper Air Filter

[BNaylor]

I noted that S&B sells the cotton gauze oiled type drop in air filters too. Has anyone tried one? Still expensive at around $32 but I think cheaper than the K&N brand.

Good info here guys! Thanks for all the feedback.

I to have ditched delco since they started being made by champion. However I am currently running a delco oil filter on the GTP becuase I plan on changing the oil again within a few hundred miles after my LIM gasket change.

I think from here on out I'm going with wix filters.

I am not quite sure if I have asked this before or not, I think I have, but I dont remember the answer...

A bit off topic so sorry for hijacking this thread.

What do you guys think about running a longer oil filter on our GTP's? The stock filter is a PF47, isnt the longer one a PF52? If I could get a wix equivelant of the PF52, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of running the longer filter?

No real advantage, same efficiency as the short one, the only advantage may be the extra capacity which is a moot issue if you change oil/filter on a prescribe basis.

Thanks! Thats what a figured. Maybe possibly will it help keep the oil a little cooler?

Ok guys, I changed my air filter to a wix. The old one was a cheapo microgard. Note the different amount of folds in the filter area between the two.

The pleats on the wix air filter look like that they are tighter and more of them. How much was the wix air filter.

Exactly my point. I'll bet it can filter a higher volume of air.

I think the Wix was 14 bucks at oreilly's.

With more surface the better the air flow will be. So I guess I will be buying Wix air filters also.
