AA Green Filter and Power Pulley
I just purchased the Performance Green Air Filter from Andrew at AA, and just by comparing the OEM filter with the AA green filter you can see they are worlds apart. The fit was perfect, it probably took me 10 to 15 minutes to install. The car sounds great, and I did notice the HP gains and exhaust flow, my rpms climb a lot faster! I was on 6 gear at about 2000 rpms and when pressing on the gas, the car just took off!, it was impressive.
AA has great customer service, now I'm thinking of their AA Power Pulley, anyone out there has any experience on that product? Would my Car Warranty be Void if I install the AA Power Pulley Thanks! R |

I have a brand new AA pulley with brand new+1 extra belt for sale if interested. Selling MUCH cheaper than new MSRP price: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=780918

Power pulley is a huge difference. Revs get up much faster again! Get a little use to the feel of your filter and then feel the same gain(more I think) again from the power pulley.

I have an AA filter and am a big fan and believe there is a decent hp bump but the revs simply do not "go up faster" Just impossibe from a filter.
Also be aware if you live somewhere really hot in Summer, a power pulley will lead to your car overheating if you need to blast the a/c |

Andrew, do you have some dyno numbers of the pulley upgrade? |

has anyone done pass-through silicon capture testing or at least a UOA to see if they're filtering comparably to the OEM filters?
That's one of the concerns I've always had with A/M intakes.. sure they may flow better, but if it returns double digit silicon on my UOA.. |

truthfully, I wouldn't want to sacrafice silicon increases for single digit whp gains. I'd keep the stock filter and save the bearings or rings on my 40K engine. Certinally problems won't manafest themselves immediatly, but over time they will. The bottom line is nothing will filter like a paper filter. Nothing. Everything will be a trade-off of some sort, and there's simply no data to prove that air filters are a significant cause of engine wear other than that UOA's typically return higher silicon, *and* that most engine wear occurs at 5-microns or less.. which just so happens to be where these filters are unable to filtrate. ultimately, this matters a lot more for 16 wheeler trucks that turn a million miles or more.. and not really for consumer sports engines that bearly see 150K.. but if you're anal about such matters well.. then it's important D: Last edited by lolwut; 12-17-2012 at 05:35 PM.. |
