[QUOTE=HOHN;1943603]The AFE imo is not really comparable to a BHAF. The AFE flows quite a bit more, but filters quite a bit less.
Personally, I'd go with a BHAF over an AFE every time. I'd have a couple inches more restriction in the intake than give up 6% or more filtration efficiency.
The BHAF is over 99% efficiency (SAE FINE dust), while the AFE is around 93%, if I remember correctly.
Exactly true!! I pulled all the AFEs off the trucks because I was finding a light film of dust around the silencer rings and intake pipes when it came time to service the trucks. I switched to the BHAFs because the factory filters were letting dust through in the first place. the larger BHAFs seem to be working for me !

That AEM looks like a nice filter, too. Well, now I'm stuck between the AEM, Donaldson, and the Volant PowerCore... I hate decisions sometimes!
Can anyone get a price on the PowerCore? I've tried to click on "Buy Now," but an error page comes up everytme...
I'm really appreciating the help guys, thanks!

So... Anybody run one of these yet?
Anyone using this yet? I can't get any response on the website, either. Some flow and filtration specs would be swell.

I can't get the BHAF Napa part number to work online, do I have to actually talk to someone in a store? I just got my truck and it's needs a better filter in a bad way.

www.fleetfilter.com. Just bought one off there today. cheaper than actually going through napa. Or vulcanperformance.com. Either way is cheaper than going through a parts store.

When I was looking, I couldn't find the part online either. IF you want to go to NAPA, just give them the part number. If I remember right, it runs around $60 for the Donaldson
