What is the biggest Filter we can use to replace Needswings Single?
 

I recently purchased a NW CAI single for my Limited Roadster. The filter looks beat up quite a bit and I'd like to replace it. I want to go big as I can, and/or max flow.

K&N is not my first choice in filters so Im curious if anyone has tried to go bigger or use a different manufacture or style.

Also, anyone try a cover for their intake tube? That thing gets hot enough to fry an egg on after just a short drive.

I'd love some recommendations. I saw the volant thread (very cool) but I need sizes so I can shop online.

K&N is the best in my opinion rob at needswings sells them k&n xtremes i think there called...you have an n/a right? it does matter if you cover it in ice its not going to be any faster with a cover just sayin'

I once did a home-made cover for my NW single CAI from foam-backed foil and some foil tape I got from Home Depot for insulating pipes. It did well in the IAT department, but simply looked like sh*t.
During the summer here, I see 14 - 20 degrees over ambient IAT's, with the insulation I was seeing 6 - 9 degrees for 30 minutes or so, then it would eventually heat soak and I'd see 10 - 14 degrees difference.

I installed a large off brand filter, cone shaped with reverse cone at the small end, not sure what the size is, but MUCH larger than the K&N I have from NW.

this is the biggest filter I could fit on my NW CAI with the grille intact.........21-2038DK - AEM Universal Air Filters, AEM DryFlow Air Filter direct from AEM

Any flow stats? I'm wondering how it compares to the K&N?

Do you have the supercooler installed with this filter?

THANKYOU!

That K & N from needswings looks good but the price is kinda high. If I were supercharged, I'd worry more about flow. As an NA, I want cold air. Just need a new filter, thats all. It would be nice to have something cool looking and effective.

I would be interested to know if you notice any differences (positive or negative) switching from the K&N.

I will report back in a few weeks.
I am heading out to CAA5 in Colorado next week so I have about 2200 miles to check it out ;)

No super cooler, I did relocate the horns and use NW ps cooling line to allow the grille to fit. I suppose the stock ps cooling line could be bent (gently) to allow for clearance.

They can, and were in my case.

Gary, that's what I thought at first but it absolutely does fit, even with the grille on and no mods to the grille. I have it installed on my SRT6.............https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=88044&thumb=1https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=88043&thumb=1https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=88042&thumb=1https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=88041&thumb=1https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=88040&thumb=1

I got this from the MB Forum.....post #21 supports use of dryflow vs K&N on SRT6's
Changing the air filter on the GLK 250 Bluetec - MBWorld.org Forums

S & B R1068.

I just worked with a tech there and I think it's as big and functional as I want.

Rubber top so not much heat soak like a chrome topped filter. Velocity stack on top, and it's blue.

I need a cover to fit it now.

I will report and post pics if and when it works!

Take a look!

:( Do you have any idea how much restriction in the cooling capacity of the condenser and radiator coils you are imposing onto those systems with that huge block in front of almost 1/2 of designed specs? How is your A/C and engine cooling working? I'm curious if your having heat or comfort problems with that setup. :(
