Air Flow Question - 08-29-2006, 10:24 PM
I picked up the Ofna "S" Bend air filter neck because my bodies wouldn't fit to well because the RB filter neck stuck up to high. With the Ofna neck on there, the air filter rubs the motor, battery box, and when the body is, basically the top and the side of the body. Is this alright?

I don't see what would be wrong with that.

I am just not sure if the heat of the motor would like melt or just break down the filter and if it can get enough air to the motor.

Even if i do, it still wouldn't make a difference. It's not like it sticks out any farther than a "normal" foam.

itll be fine, use a shock spring and crank it into the filter neck to keep it from folding back on it self and pinching off ur air flow, or use a return spring to hold it toward the back of the car

Thanks, Mike. I bought a header spring. I'll have to see if that will work.

The shock spring would go IN the air filter neck?

Let me know how that works Mike. I still got plenty of maxx springs too...LOL I havent tried it yet... I've been running the S bend since beginning of outdoor season this year. No problems and it seems the filter stays alittle cleaner. I also use the RB outer filters once in awhile.

If only I were a millionare.

The only thing I see that would bother me is the hot air that will be now going into the motor instead of colder air like when your filter pointed forward.

Having fun again!!!!

I've been running the S neck for quite a while now and it works fine.

Couldn't get the maxx shock to fit. Even if you can jam the spring in there, I think it would stretch the neck to much and be easier to rip or put a hole in it.
