I'm sure the filtermags work great but they are pricey. Just get some neobedydum (sp?) magnets and stick em' to the filter and you'll get the same effect.
The following is interesting to read:
Rare Earth magnets have a high resistance to demagnetization, unlike most other types of magnets. They will not lose their magnetization around other magnets or if dropped. They will however, begin to lose strength if they are heated above their maximum operating temperature, which is 176°F (80°C) for standard N grades. They will completely lose their magnetization if heated above their Curie temperature, which is 590°F (310°C) for standard N grades.
N35, N38, N42, N38SH...what does it all mean? Neodymium magnets are all graded by the material they are made of. As a very general rule, the higher the grade (the number following the 'N'), the stronger the magnet. The highest grade of neodymium magnet currently available is N50. Any letter following the grade refers to the temperature rating of the magnet. If there are no letters following the grade, then the magnet is standard temperature neodymium. The temperature ratings are standard (no designation) - M - H - SH - UH - EH
And a chart with some useful info:

I installed a clamshell filtermag on the outside of the 2-micron GDP fuel filter I added. I'm running a 7-micron in the factory canister, and a strainer before the Walbro pump.
The pictures below depict ferrous particles caught by the filtermag that made it past the other filters.

2. What is the thought on the AMSOIL Ea Air Filters (EaA)?

I was lucky to get a year out of the regular paper element (and I also blew it out). I used a BHAF for a few years, but got tired of the whistle.

I think some people may be confused. The FilterMags don't have anything to do with filtering air...they're used on oil filters, fuel filters, etc.
