I recently added the BHAF to my truck..not enuf mile to comment.<br><br><br>This is a wix...$25 from www.filterone<br><br>I added the pre filter...it keeps out the rocks, and small kids<br><br> Colin

 

I too just installed one yesterday. It is awesome, drove up a hill in the first 5 minutes and all I can say is what a difference. ;D

 

you guys did not happen to go from a K&amp;N to the BHAF. I want to make sure that I will feel the diff detween my K&amp;N.<br>thanks<br>Aaron

 

I went from an Amsoil filter in the stock box, to the BHAF. BIG DIFFERENCE ;D

 

what did it do to your egt's? going from the stock box to the BHAF

 

To: Marine:<br>So, if I understand this BHAF thing, it frees up air flow, which gives more HP and lowers EGT ? I noticed in the picture that the filter looks like it is just sittin there....Is it OK to do that ? Is there a better way or is this OK..?<br>Just trying to find a way to make it more efficient, pick up some horses, keep it as cool as possible and not pay an arm/leg for stuff....:-) :-)<br>Appreciate any info. you can provide..<br>01' Ram 2500,auto,2WD,LWB,tow/comper pkg, all stock stuff..(so far)<br>Thanks,<br>Tony ...<br>

 

Dodgeman01, I went from a K&amp;N to the BHAF. It's about the same for airflow. Cooldown for the turbo (based on EGT's) is roughly the same as the K&amp;N. Will you see a difference between the K&amp;N and the BHAF? Not much. Except in my case, I stopped getting oil in my intakes from the filter. ;D

 

Do you get a decent amount of turbo noise with the BHAF? I had a lot with the AFE but I hate the oil so I went back to the stock box and filter. Truck runs fine, but I want some more noise on that turbo!

 

Jack,<br><br>I went from a K&amp;N stock box to a BHAF with the heat shield. Turbo sound is about the same maybe slightly louder. Sounds good, not objectionable. I did notice better pick up at highway speeds. Can't say if it will help mileage - probably will hurt as I now keep my foot on the floor to hear the turbo. I changed for the same reason - don't like oil in the intake that's being sucked out of the filter. Can't say if it lowers or raises EGT as I don't have any gauges - I just go with &quot;stick your head in the sand driving&quot; Finally, Jack I sent you a PM a while ago - did you get it?

 

VSS, I don't remember seeing the pm. It might have gotton lost during my backup nightmare that occured the other day when I was upgrading the forum. Can you send it to me again? Thanks for the info btw.

 

TonyP- The posts after yours pretty much says it all. More air. However, if it is really hot air like in the desert, a fresh air intake would be better. The air would be a little cooler. But it is all relative I guess. More air flow-hotter air compared to cooler air flow-alot less air (stock air box). You can pretty much see that most everyone that changed over from stock, sees a big difference.<br><br>Mike

 

Marine,<br> I finally found a piece of sheet metal to make my heat shield from. Thanks again for the template ... I hope to have it in within the week.<br><br>PISTOL

I got one a BHAF at BMD Dyno Day remember? Well all I had was a mopar paper filter in my box and I noticed a dramatic difference in EGT's while towing, and running interstate. ;D Plus more turbo whine [undecided] I want a Scotty II but that would mean even more Turbo Whine! :'( Don't get me wrong I like listening to my turbo, but I get into moods where I'd rather hear the radio!<br>

 

Does anyone have a pic of the BHAF installed with the heat shield?<br><br>I am having one built as I write (my Dad runs a machine shop ;D), but I would like to see what it is going to look like!

 

If you send me your email address I will send you a photo!<br><br>KC
