I bought a Donaldson Blackwing Reuseable air filter, so long K&N and Holley. This is the filter SLP was going to carry but for some reason they never really had them.

It features a patented synthetic media and has a dual density cap, so the top is a foam edge just like a paper filter so it seals.

The price is high but to me it was well worth it.

 

what makes it the best?

 

It's not. The blackwing isn't really any better than the stock lid.

 

he isnt talking about a lid.. he is talking about a filter.

 

It's an air filter.

Glad you're happy with it, but I just can't get too excited about an air filter.

Whoops I don't know about the filter. People on LS1.com are talking about a blackwing air lid though.

 

#1- It is built differently to seal better
#2- There is no dust in the engine side of the lid
#3- Flows better than a Holley or K&N

I know not to many will get excited over a filter, but replacing the OEM donaldson would get expensive ($49) and being that it was paper I cannot just clean it when ever I please.

But alot of people do like reusable filters so I just wanted to share my $.02

 

so where can we find this filter?

 

At Http://upfronttechnologies.com talk to Bert.

 

I think I'll settle with my paper filter

 

slp blackwing is better than stock lid as well...

Paper still flows better than any re-useable filter. The only advantage to a K&N, Powershot or Donaldson is that you dont have to run to the store every time it gets dirtyt. Just wash, oil and re-use. There is no performance gain.

 

There is only ONE paper filter that out flows a reusable and that is the Donaldson High Flow. Standard paper filters don't come close.

 

No performance gain? huh? I got 3hp thats RWHP out of my paper filter over a re-usable filter.. Doesnt Power = Performance?

AC Delco made more power for me..

 

My girlfriends car was slower with the air filter removed at the track, so sometimes more power isn't made by complete unrestricted flow.
