Thats the difference between 8in of filter and 8ft theres more surface area for dirt to cover and nothing for it to stick to

That doesn't make any sense, 100k? I clean my filter every 5k, takes 20 minutes.

I think Im with max on this one, sure I dont clean my filter every 5k but, 100k is a long, long time. I dont care how bad ass your air filter is, it is eventually gonna run out of places for dirt to stick or its just letting smaller stuff through that would normally clog one up.

It isnt a Volant filter, its a donaldson, same flute that is in the black hawk helo, your not dealing with a cotton, poly or paper filter its nano fiber, you do not service the filter so there is no break down in microns like serviceable filters, its .001 micron from start to end like I stated above there is nothing for the dirt to stick to so it does not build up, we also put a downward angle on all of the filters so large sand and dirt fall back out of the top, also you do now that every time you service a filter your letting in more dirt right?

The stock tube is what you should be changing, as that is where all the restriction is. Check out the resonator on that thing.
