Better air flow and filtration that stock or the Ram Air.

Really.

Not according to independent testing.

It is a long way from the stuff in lawn mowers.

It's a question of choice - believe as you wish.

sounds to me like the k&n filters are the way to go over the ram air couple folks here said the ram air have come apart

At least one of those is VERY dubious. But because it was an Facebook the world believes it.

I have been running RamAir since the very first prototype made for Colin. Not had one fail. Made a filter using their foam for the 4WD too.
They tell you how to look after it - but everybody thinks they know better.

Conversely I have had to ditch at least 3 sets of K&N over the years because the rubber went hard. Wont here me dishing K&N tho'

I had the K&N RZ2780 on before - the Raimair improved things.

Heat wall eh ? Well i have half a pallet of bricks in the back of my van . I get your thinking tho !

Assuming I get over later this month - I will be taking a ride to see Chris Yates at Ramair. He was going to design one - in fact he used my bike to Spit-ball one the last time I was there with Colin.

I made mine from a simple flat sheet of composite honeycomb material that somebody sent me as packing material from the US. Chris made his "spit-ball" from 16g Ali - it was a much closer fit as it was to form part of the Gen2 High performance RAMMED AIR version for modified motors. I think, that will no longer see the sight of day, but he may have the heatwall lying about.

Ramair Universal Cone Filter With Aluminum Base - 63Mm Od Neck - 150Mm Wide 5056185604163 | eBay


Ramair Universal Cone Filter With Aluminum Base - 63Mm Od Neck - 150Mm Wide

Part Number: JS-150-63-BK

This filter is designed to be inserted into a flexible hose such as a rubber or silicone intake pipe.

These filters have an aluminium ram-pipe neck and a cone shaped filter element. This integral cone channels all the incoming air, towards the inlet manifold, and in doing so, reduces unnecessary turbulence. These filters are also cone shaped because it enables easy fitting to space restricted engine compartments and with the extremely large amount of foam surface area an added boost of power to your engine too!

The filter is specially strengthened using a stainless steel internal mesh, which we have developed & used in european and world touring cars!

With its large size, technologically advanced filter and bell mouth alloy spun base this filter kit is capable of handling extremely large power & flow rates.

As said before , I liked the Ramair , especially as it came as an entire package ! As for solvents or mishandling ? I did take good care of mine and certainly kept chemicals away from it . It is however , very easy to damage . Especially when removing the bear claw . Mine is splitting away from the moulded intake rubbers , as well as breaking down in the foam itself . The pod filters are even more delicate , I did look into these , but it seemed that just cleaning the bike , they would be easy to catch and tear . They seem no more resilient than a bath sponge on a stick !
