The power difference between that and a real filter is not going to be that much on your setup. For a DD, I would use a real filter to extend and protect the life of the motor and turbo.

That will keep the birds out of it and not much else.

Thats not much of a filter. Personally I wouldnt run it on a DD...

Not a good idea at all..don't give the turbo or engine very long life if you use that. Possibly ok at track for a couple of runs but thats about it.

Those screens make LESS POWER then ANY other type of filter.

From another thread a long time ago -



Interesting results!

Green Line - 2 Window Screens on a 45 to one another. This gave us the lowest boost and the least power.

Middle Red - Stock ATI Little filter for an 04 GTO (Very limited room)

Purple Line - One Window Screen. Little bit more boost then the stock filter, with minimal gains for the safety given up.

Top Red Line - No filter at all...The most boost and most power.




This is a picture of the stock air filter and the two screens. We have a MUCH larger air filter we will be installing some time next week and we will report the results.



If anyone would like to request something to test out, or have any suggestions, please ask!


I should note, the car is an 04 GTO with a mild cam, P1SC, LTs, Full Exhaust and other supporting mods. The GTOs have a super small area to put the filter and it may be the reason we are seeing such a larg gain. I think the FBodies and Vettes have a much larger filter.

For DD duties I'd recommend the AEM Dri-Flo. Had excellent results w/ that filter on my STS. Defeinetly would run more than a screen.

yep i was gonna type exactly what 70stang just mentioned

screens on the inlet of the turbo are worse for power than any filter you can put on.

if you do put on a real filter. get a nice filter that doesnt have any metal items glued on the inside. seen too many get sucked into turbos and ruined

The AEM dryflow is the BEST FILTER POSSIBLE. we have seen nothing but great results from that filter.
