Does anyone know if the Scotty II can be had with the new Pro-Guard 7 AFE Filter?

The old BHAF isn't quite doing it for me anymore and it's time to update the air intake, but I'd really like to get the new Pro-Guard 7 filter that AFE now offers.

Thanks

NOPE. :'(

aFe stated that the filter has too many pleats that come together too close together at the top.

I tried hard to get them to reconsider.

 

:'( :'( :'( :'(

Back to the drawing board I guess. :

One thing to keep in mind about the aFe standard series: No matter what test conditions we've run these things in, the oil analysis has always come back identical or near identical to the stock air filter (we had 1 test result with silicate levels 1% greater than stock). With some new [censored] systems that we're working on, we'll be able to use the ProGuard 7 stuff, but I'm not particularly excited about it. Reduced airflow with filtration qualities that are just not needed just seems like a good way to reduce the effectiveness of an air system.

I've had problems with the K&N in the past and I'm just a tad bit leary on going back to an oiled filter. That's why I was looking at the Pro-Guard 7 filter, thought it would be just a little better than the regular aFe.

I'll think a little more about it.

Darrellb, I have had a aFe filter in my Scotty1 and 2 for over 100K and because of a turbo going south I'm rebuilding my Mighty Cummins. With 164K on this engine there is no signs of dirt that got through the regular aFe.

The aFe filter a lot better than the K&Ns.

I am more than alittle sold on the Scotty 2 Air Systems they reduce EGTs and cool down times as stated. They work!!!

I will have Piers twins on mine when I get it back together and I'm more than a little bummed that my Scotty 2 won't work because the filter is too large :'( Although if it wasn't it looks as if the Scotty housing would work.

 

Don't worry Dee. You won't have to be without Scotty for long. <wink> <wink> <nudge> <nudge>

Errr, A Scotty for long I meant to say.

I'm runnin a Scotty II and you saw mine on the Dyno.
I love the reduction in temps I got from mine and I was runnin a K/N before that.
With the smoke I'm pumpin I had to have and it worked as stated.
But soon I'll be puttin a little more air in
So I'll clear up some of that smoke.
