I have hear the if you want volume, get a Scotty and cut the hole.

I had a BHAF it made the turbo sing a lot louder.

I have no experience with the AFE products, but have heard nothing but good things about them.

 

i want to pull alot of air anf make the turbo sing
i have a afe but i think i need more air if i go with twins
what about a bhar were do i get one and what are some of the one poeple are running

 

Question: What are the part numbers for the BHAF?
Answer: Fleetguard AH19037
NAPA 2790
WIX 42790
Donaldson B105006
Baldwin PA2820
Hastings AF1012
AFE 20-40044
Carquest 87790
John Deere pmah19037
Big A 93790

hey thankyou i will have to check that out is one of those filter better or are they all about the same

 

I believe they are all roughly equal. I am pretty sure the NAPA is a reboxed Wix.

 

now do you think that i should stick with my afe or go bhaf i want to flow more air but dont want to be sucking dirt down either
thanks

 

question about the BHAF, is that the stock turbo hose connected to the filter? Or do you need an adapter to connect the hose to the filter? Is that just a heavy(big truck) filter then you guys build a heat shield? The wrap around the filter is that for more dirt protection?

 

I've used BHAFs for a lot of miles. After using a BHAF for a couple of years, I switched to a ProGuard 7 just prior to our annual trip to the Colorado Rockies pulling a 10k or so gooseneck trailer two years ago.

I made the change mainly hoping to reduce EGTs. I didn't see the hoped for reduction, and when I checked the AFE, I saw severe signs of filter deformation, the rigid features of the filter and the filter material looked like they had really sucked in while under high boost. I don't think this partial collasp is a big issue, it's just that my AFEProGuard 7 didn't seem to be big enough for that trip to attlitude.

It should be noted that a BHAF will deform on a high hp truck as well (not mine, LOL).

If you have tons of excess room, there are much bigger filters that the models we use and call BHAFs that could be used. You'd just have to go to the jobbers catalogs and source one out. That's how I found the original BHAF back in '01. However if you go to twins, then that excess room would vanish.

Ah, hears the answer. Chrome filter housings, one on each side (outside the engine compartment, rear of front fenders) just like a real truck runs. Then stacks, LOL>

Good luck, RR

 

dodgeguy (do I know you,LOL), the BHAF does attach directly to the stock air filter to turbo connector.

Here's my installation procedure: 1. remove stock air box, look under the stock air filter and you'll see 3 plastic nuts, remove with a 10mm socket, use a 8mm, or 5/16th socket to loosen the clamp, then put the stock box away (after removing the 3 plastic nuts from the bottom of the filter housing.

2.Re-install the 3 plastic nuts "upside down", this keeps the studs form damaging the filter.

3. Split a 8" or so piece of rubber hose and encase the ac line located on the inner fender near the computer. If you don't the BHAF can wear a hole in the ac line.

4. Cut a 1" long piece of 4" muffler tubing and insert in the the inlet of the BHAF. This will guarentee that the filter inlet will not deform and allow unfiltered air damage your engine.

5. Now slip the stock black plastic piping over the Bhaf inlet, tighter things up and you're good to go.

You can fab a shield to keep some of the turbo heat away, and run a pre-filter cover to extend the life of the filter. I've not had a problem and have not done either.

Good luck, RR

 

thanks moparguy! So other than the expense of the filter and heat shield pretty inexpensive..

 

so afe progaurd7 or bhaf

 

I have been using a k+N drop in filter, do you guys know if there would be any improvement with this type of setup?

 

Most guys on here would not use a K&N. Myself included. I had one in the past, and found dust after it. It even left a few pits in my turbo vanes. I am not the only one that has had this experience. I would highly reccomend a different filter, K&N makes good filters, but out engines just move to much air for them.
