Green Air Filters We are taking pre-orders for Green High Performance Air Filters. Price is $44.99.
The K&N and Holley use a cotton gauze. It is a good a material for filtering but the draw back to using it is that it is similar to a gauze bandage. Holes can be warn though the gauze, from cleaning & general everyday ware. Also little pieces of the warn cotton can be drawn into the engine from the intake pressure.
With a Green Filter we use 2 layers of woven cotton (like a tee-shirt). There are 3 main benefits to woven cotton, its: thinner, hold oil better, and stronger. Being thinner the benefit is a little better flow of air but with out sacrificing the filtration. (Green still filter to 5 microns). Because Green is like a tee-shirt it holds the oil more evenly. Gaze is more sponge like so the oil can be pulled out by engine intake press, but with Green’s woven cotton you don’t have this problem. The other benefit of woven cotton is that the cotton medium is stronger. Unlike a gauze bandage you cannot ware a hole though a tee-shirt just by rubbing it. One other important benefit of the cotton being woven (like a tee-shirt) is there is no way for the small bit of cotton to be pulled into the engine because the cotton is inter-locked with another piece. The biggest benefit for our woven design is that the filter can be cleaned many more times.
Basically you get superior filtering and flow with the fit of a Holley.... The Green Filter company is based out of Europe and was started in 1995. I have not found anything about this once being a part of K&N. The Euro site is www.greenfilters.com the USA site is www.greenfilterusa.com.
