ok i did this back in augest and im getting a pileup of dead bugs in my K & N filters... whatd u guys to do minimize bug casulties (or ****ing up a good filter???)

 

you could try taking out the filters and givin' em a good wack...

 

the filters or the bugs

yea but they are K & N i dont wanna mess them up, i think im gonna buy the recharge kit but these filters are like black now..... i have a feeling im going to have to do the cold air induction mod like kandied's

 

my friend had that problem with his 99 grand am gt ram air. i just like took out the filter and shook it out - no more bugs.

the recharge kit sounds like a good idea though

 

put a no bug landing station sign on your front nose

just check the air filters every week then.. empty out the bugs!

 

alright but i was looking through thte new thick as hell summit catelogue and i say this K & N foam stuff that goes before the filter and it is supposed to catch dirt and bugs and stuff it is part number KNN-25-3900 its on page 290 of the new summit the 35th anniversery one.

 

please no more ram air, or cold air intake post in this forum please. its not that i don't want them here. its just that u will get better access to and exposer posting in a more appropiate forum such as the TPI board.. thanks..

 

I get tons of bugs and dirt in my filters but I did buy the recharge kit. I just shake them out (hit them on the ground ) occasionally, wash them and re-spray them. Other than the air flow advantages, the best thing about the K&Ns is that they are washable/re-useable. You gotta get the recharge kit.

 

Breathment....

sorry man i doubt ill post anything about this again anyways but if i do ill put it there. btw hopefully this summer my plenium will look as good as the one in your avatar....:hail:

 

no biggie..

Ya just be prepared to have your arms aching when your done Took me about a week doing it about 2 and a half hours a day but it is well worth it. Good luck.

 

well i plan on using a palm sander for most of it, but when i get to the runners im gonna have some trouble. i want to have the plenium polished in one day, the runners the next, port the plenium the next day, then polish/change the fuel rails, and then put it all back together on the 5th day, that way im only out of a car for 5-6 days depending on things go.

 

ive seen a post where a person put wire mesh infront of the foglights looked kick a$$.
maybe that will filter out the big bugs
i was thinking about doing it but im not sure how it would effect the Ram air intake

 

yea i was gonna say try some mesh, or screen in the air path. its not gonna restrict flow anymore than filters

 

actually.... you know that foam **** that they have for shop vac's? i think im gonna put that ther ebehind the foglights. that should help and not restrict airflow.
