Help: Performance Drop in Air Filters Elements
Im looking to try something new in the Air intake dept. I currently run a MSAF, but am toying with the idea of making a fresh air intake out of the stock box and using my torque tube and some other things I have dreamed up. I need to find a replacement air filter element that is worthy of higher hp numbers. Can someone prescribe a good air filter element that replaces the stock one that is NOT an oiled style!

Amsoil Ea here also. Like it so far. Look at my gallery for home made torque Tube. It is just the right size internally (Just a touch bigger than the Elbows) and the turbo sounds like a semi turbo now when it is whinning It has a low pitch to it now instead of the high pitch it had originaly.
It cost 10.00 and the best part is, it looks stock
Just my 2cents worth.

Didn't see the pics in your gallery. Can you post them in the thread?

can i ask what the purpose of the PVC was? one you gutted the air baffles out why not just put it back on?

Hey Idle Chatterin, what size PVC? 4"? I have been thinking about doing this myself, I can't help but think that the change in diameter in that sleeve would cause turbulence. I gutted mine and broke out the other baffles, and the inside diameter of that sleeve is considerably larger than the rest of the piping.

super BHAF
Hey 2-Stroke,
Check out the super BHAF I made in the shop: it's got enough Cummins-spec dry filtration & flow to support 650 HP + 1220 ft-lb torque
I used the stock IAT and filter minder, 304 SS for the plenum housing and it looks awesome!
I've also got the loudest whistle possible with the stock Holset..
Check out my pics!
Oil filter changes got a lot easier, too.

"Sick" rocks!
Thanks 2-Stroke,
That's the nicest thing anyone's said so far!
I designed a max-effort filtration mod for these CTDs - nothing else can come close... it's got the largest possible filter surface combined with the shortest possible filter-face to turbo inlet length.
It sucks like the high school prom queen at a frat party!
There's not much to the plumbing; just the SS plenum/filter holder necked down to the rubber boot for the turbo, supplied with all the fresh air it needs from the cowl plenum and open front grill (rubber shield/deflector removed).
With the exhaust I made, it breathes so well I believe it runs on the border of the fuel map - I'm gonna have to pick some of the rocket scientists' brains on the forum for more info...

BTW - for some reason, the CTD (well - 610s, anyhow) makes more power at higher air inlet temps - I think I'm gonna break down and start a thread for the brainiacs to chew on...
