Default S&B velocity stack plus Filterwears

Just fyi, I bought the 5"opening S&B velocity stack. Outer Diameter is 6.75" so I also ordered a Filterwears 7.5" outer filter for a little extra protection driving around. They say go a size larger on the Filterwears. I figured I'd share, probably a few people looking for decent filtration but don't have the space or maybe want something they can pull off quick when its go time.

Had a lot of people say those kill airflow to the turbo.
The website claims an increase in airflow over an open turbo (not sure how that's even possible) at 1,000cfm, I feel like a 7875 turbo is moving more than 1,000cfm at full song.

A correctly shaped velocity stack will definitely help flow. This has a velocity stack built in so I'd say that their claim is plausible but probably inflated. I think these have to be better than a turbo guard etc that doesnt have a velocity stack built in. For me I want a filter of some sort, even if it hurts power a little. I'd even prefer a real filter like a kn eventually if I can fit one.

Check out how the s&b flares out and has more surface area than the turbo-guard. Price is comparable too.

There is Math involved in a Velocity Stack. The best is an Elliptical Profile. A great read is " The Best Bell" by Gordon P Blair.

Those filter wear over sock are VERY restrictive. I put 1 over each of my throttle bodies and the car would barely idle. Took them off and the idle jumped back up to normal.

Steve Morris just had a video where he added a bellmouth and it picked up HP on a Procharger. I would imagine same result on a turbo.

If anyone just wants a velocity stack I found some on Amazon for cheap.

Engine Masters tested various air filters to see what kind of horsepower they would support and found some with basically zero loss. I forget the horsepower level but it was boosted application. Thats what I eventually would like but this will do for now.

Can confirm now the 7.5" Filterwears fits the S&B velocity stack.

The issue is the mesh filter. It probably covers 50% of the opening with metal wire. The math ain't mathing.
