914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Air Filter Options?

Posted by: Tom73 Oct 16 2004, 11:19 PM

Have a '71, 1.7. I do not like the concept of the oil bath air filter. Any viable alternatives? Have seen those where they stick a K&N filter on the end of a piece of PVC pipe. Guess they work but don't like the idea of the filter being exposed to the elements.

Perfect example:

$45.00 K&n Cone Shaped Filter
$ 5.00 Two Feet of PVC Piping
$ 5.00 Two 90 degree angle bent PVC Elbows
$ 3.00 Air Filter Inlet Connector
$ 3.00 PVC to Throttle Body Connector
$ 4.00 Adjustable Clamps
_______

$65.00 = Total

get a later style 1.7L air filter with the paper element, similar housing as the oil-bath but uses a paper element ...

Anything that crosses housing supplies and cars is no good for me. <_<

Never had a problem with mine, once I figured it out. Autocrossing it sometimes made it puke some oil.

Now the K&N 's sitting on the 40 IDF's will present thier own set of problems.
