Great finding. I have not seen anyone testing this stuff, thanks a lot. So basically these things are more for looks than flow. Makes me wonder whether the dense material + tight grid is used on purpose to not introduce turbulences from above 🤔 or to circumvent issues with the sealing 😂
I was just having a conversation with a buddy who worked at airaid about a cotton vs paper. I have a KN filter and lid on a 408 sprintcar engine. Filters off perfect tune on the carburetor put the Filter on runs like shit. Great video, my buddy was correct after watching your video
Bummer !! I should never have given away my old Chrome top after I got my filter top. I thought the filter top might be better for my 74 Vette's (cowl induction thingy). I'm running a drop base and 3 inch K&N on a Holley 650. Thanks for the great vids.
Thanks for your work so far - please continue your investigation - I bought a Summit drop base and 'Open' top filter and felt that it didn't do that much for flow - would love to know how to fix it. Am space limited so looking for a solution.
That is quite the flow bench for hobby purposes. I hope you experiment with some cylinder head porting. It is kinda fun. At least, I am assuming it is for hobby purposes. Nice though all the same.
This bench is for my buddies business. He does development on fuel systems for industrial engines. The hobby useage is a bonus. Our automotive minds go in many different directions and its hard to stick with one topic. No gurantees but we might dable in some cylinder head stuff, probably not in the near future.
In this one i investigated improvements on the Summit power lid. Its an open top filter that many would buy including myself due to it appearing like an improvement-paired with a paper 14x3 it did ok but with the rpc (red look alike k&n) it didnt do as expected. So far k&n has not been tested. That might be subject to change in future bench test videos
Guys this channel is amazing! 😃 Say would you be interested in doing a collaboration? Ive been doing some old school carburetor mods and have had no real physical way of treating or showing what they are actually doing. I feel like we could really teat some cool and outside the box stuff and have physical data to show for it 😁👌

Take the chrome lid and flip it upside-down. Since it's domed up. Maybe the dome pointing down will direct flow better.
Great test.
I really like how you cut the holes in it and it made no difference.
Thanks for sharing.
I just subscribed to your channel.
Take care, Ed.
Very interesting info. Thanks!
Just found this. Definitely Great information. Got a new project and trying to use a lot of parts we already have.

You need a flat base for an open top air filter. Drop base with open top air filters don’t work.
Hello, in my F - 250 with the 460 c.i. engine I had room to double stack two K & N filters. I was pleased but had no way to verify improvements.
Thank you for commenting. I dont have much data on this right now but it could be something I try in the future.
Great video!!!
I would be trying out a flat or raised base.
Yes thanks for useful content as I have a carburetor on my car

@@josephnowak That sounds like a win- win!
I heard a flat base flows better than a drop-base.
Instead of using used (dirty) elements, you should be using new (or cleaned) elements.
I would be curious to see the difference in a 3 inch filter versus a 4 inch.
So the K&N was way better than a paper filter, thanks.
Thank you for commenting. I made no comparison to K&N. It was not tested
@@josephnowak What was tested, thanks.
