Ram Air filter

[-pseudonymous-]

Hi Guys. Im currently running a Green dynawist which has seen better days. Ive heard some good reports on the Ram Air Maxflow filter, but how does its compare to the Green Dynatwist? Is it worth changing and will it give a louder induction noise and dumping sound?

Also can an anybody tell me where i could get my hands on one for my Mk3 Cupra and how much it would cost.

Cheers.

Thanks Bill. Nice lil motor and sounds great!

I dont think i'll be needing a breather as i already have a green one. Will be in touch in the new year.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

As far as i know its actually a foam filter enclosed in an aluminium casing just like the dynatwist (only smaller) picture shown in link below

here's one on a mk4 cupra

Its a foam filter inside, steel mesh reinforced.
very similar looking to Dynatwist (which is cotton gauze)

bill, can you buy just the filter fot it, as opposed to the whole setup?

Also do you know what size the neck of the filter is compared to the dynatwist?

cheers

dose anyone know why that would be louder, surly if it lets more sound out would that meen it lets more air in? or have bigger holes in it wich would let more crap in than the dynotwist, not slagging eather off, but dose make you think.

Neck size depends on car fitment... (smaller ones have insert which is used to make up the gap) - 70mm small, 75mm larger

Filter as in whole unit in its ally case?

Foam looks to be free-er flowing, hence noise, smaller filter in the housing compared to Dynatwists.. (more space in housing, making it sound louder?)
Filtration is dealt with by sticky polymer coating to catch dirt etc.

Cheers Bill, i was thinking, using the ram air filter in the dynatwist shield! I cant see a reason why this wouldnt work.

 

[ibizacupra]

you will need to measure the Dynatwist neck size in the base and size a filter (RamAir open cone) to suit, if there's one the same size.

speaking about airflow/performance

on a k03s of BT setup this ram air vs dynatwist?

what do you recommend and is this filter maf friendly?

grtz

 

[ibizacupra]

MAF friendly as each other in respect to no coating comes out of them.
careful mounting req'd on either to avoid unwanted shocks & vibrations.

Remembering MAF's are a shite unlreliable device anyhows.

 

[Forbez]

Hmm think i'll get the dynatwist filter out to take a look then!

Bill would i be able to order just the filter from you, once i've sorted out the measurments of the filters etc!

 

[ibizacupra]

I dont think RamAir's filter range is very wide on normal fitments compared to Greens..
see what the neck size is and I'll see whats listed (but not a lot on the info I have here currently)

 

[Forbez]

anyone with a dynatwist fancy measuring the airfilter? If not i'll do it friday when i'm off.
