Now that I finally got around to replacing the short ram air filter that disintegrated at MAM a year and a half ago, I thought I'd take a picture of the lineup of air filters I've been using for the R family album.



On the left we have the jrsc short ram air filter that blew chunks at MAM. I only wish I knew where the chunks went and why the aluminum filter housing splintered so badly on track.

As many of you who were at MAM for the H-T event can attest, it was a good thing Mr. Socko was on hand (er, well on foot) to pick up the pieces. Mr. Socko fit so well onto the short ram intake, you'd swear he was OEM. Maybe even JDM. He guarded my throttle body from foreign invaders like a father guards his daughter's honor.

But alas, Mr. Socko is now retired. The next generation of air filters arrived in the mail today and I'm looking forward to having a more "conventional" filter under the hood. I would imagine I'll pick up a few lost hp with the new filter, but I'll never know for sure as I never did dyno Mr. Socko.

 

Funny.

Gawd... I remember looking at that filter and just thinking... oh crap... poor sc/motor.

 

I wonder how well a silk sock or cheesecloth would work hmmmm

Hybrid ctr - who is actually curious

 

Sock... I would have never thought of that

 

I've heard of towels, fine metal meshes from Home Depot but I've never thought of using a sock lol, good one.

 

What an interesting read that would be. Some guy does a filter test against a cotton sock. Next thing would be to determine which sock maker makes the most hp.

 

Sad to see Mr. Socko go...glad to see the car going though.

 

&lt;-- Found a socko in his car once

Throw a sock on a J's racing intake and you got a winner!

But its gotta be a Hanes sock.

LOL! Wow. Blast from the somewhat recent past!!

Chris - who feels like that MAM event was forever ago

 

Maybe a CoolMax sock would add a hp or eleven!

AA -who remembers Mr. Socko, and omg, we leave for Omahaha in 5 weex!

 

awww goodbye mr. socko

 

I wonder if an American Pie sock would generate any more power..??

 

LAFAO!!! B4LIFE

 

wow way to use sock

 

Hey remember...socko was my idea.
