Moreover, airflow can have certain characteristics that could cause it to deposit the particles in a filter that can assist in affecting the air pressure differential within and without the air filter. If this occurs, then airflow is restricted limiting the filter’s performance. The physics of airflow has identified three principles that determine how an air filter removes dirt particles from the air stream. Each principle can affect the air pressure within the filter. These principles include interception, impaction, and diffusion. The first principle is known as interception. This references the dirt particles that travel through the filter with the air stream. Studies show that airflow will always take the shortest path. As the airflow carries the particles through the filter fibers, they contact the sides of the fibers and are captured and then held in place due to the tacky oil that is covering the cotton strands.
The principle of diffusion deals with the laws of physics that manage the motion of very small dirt particles. Forces in the air stream greatly influence the way small particles travel. These forces include velocity and pressure changes, and turbulence that occurs due to particles interacting with air molecules causing very small particles to travel randomly and chaotically. As a result, the particles do not follow the air stream and their erratic movement causes them to collide with the filter’s fibers. This allows the air filter to capture dirt particles that are much smaller than the openings in the media. Moreover, the multi-layered cotton gauze media offers many levels that are allowed to capture and retain particles. This permits the K&N filter to hold considerably more particles per square inch of media than an average paper filter. To better understand, let’s take a look at how a paper filter works. A paper air filter must be thick and/or the fibers must be tightly compressed and dense to meet minimum filtration standards. As a result, the paper filter is more restrictive to airflow by design. As a paper filter becomes more and more clogged, the pressure within it drops while the atmospheric air pressure outside the filter remains the same. As the pressure differential becomes too great, the filter will become more and more restrictive causing the airflow to pull dirt particles through the paper medium. The ability of the paper air filter to perform due to its restrictive condition adversely affects its ability to protect the engine. As dirt builds, passages are blocked and the paper filter must be replaced after only 10,000 miles of use. The Frazier Permeability Test confirms that the multi-layered cotton gauze medium of the K&N air filters flow more than 300% more air than a paper air filter medium when compared on a square inch per square inch basis. Another added benefit of the K&N replacement air filter with a multi-layered cotton gauze medium is that it is washable and reusable and designed and engineered to last up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required (depending on driving conditions). K&N is so sure of the quality of the air filter it backs it with a K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty that promises that the filter will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without need of replacement. The K&N E-0644 is designed to fit the following vehicles: 2017 FORD F550 SUPER DUTY 6.7L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models 2017 FORD F450 SUPER DUTY 6.7L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models 2017 FORD F450 SUPER DUTY 6.2L V8 Fuel Injection - All Models 2017 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY 6.7L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models 2017 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY 6.2L V8 Fuel Injection - All Models 2017 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.7L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models 2017 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.2L V8 Fuel Injection - All Models |

Friday, April 24, 2015Street Legal Horsepower & Better Engine Sound for 2010-2014 Camaro SS
AEM offers two performance air intake systems for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models. AEM Camaro SS air intake 22-679C differs from the alternate AEM cold air intake system available for 2010-2014 V8 models because AEM designers chose to retain the use of the stock air filter box. Designing AEM cold air intake 22-679C around the stock air filter box allowed AEM Intake designer to retain all factory connections, including stock emissions control equipment, to create a 50-state street legal air intake system. There are additional benefits of retaining the stock air filter box such as keeping inlet air temperatures, and air / fuel ratios within factory specifications. Plus, utilizing the stock air box maintains the use of the factory cold air inlet near the front wheel, without exposing the air filter to the elements. Not only that, but installation is incredibly easy compared to the alternate AEM air intake for 2010-2014 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L models. The only tool required to install AEM cold air intake 22-679C is a screwdriver.
Testing revealed that the factory maze of accordion like intake tubing, and noise baffling adds a substantial source of restriction to the stock Chevy Camaro SS air induction system. Included in the AEM cold air intake system for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube which helps to overcome the restriction found in the stock air ducting. Restriction isn’t the only trouble with the stock air intake as it also creates turbulence in the incoming air. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube used in 22-679C has a smooth and consistent internal circumference for reduced airflow turbulence. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow allows the Fifth Gen Camaro SS V8 engine to breathe easier. To complement the under hood appearance of the 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2L V8 the intake tube is protected with a durable charcoal gray powder coat finish that will look great for years to come. An added benefit of the AEM mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube is that it will eliminate the stock intake tract resonator. This will give 2010-2014 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models a more aggressive engine sound.
AEM Dryflow air filters are performance designed to reduce restriction over typical paper air filters. The AEM 2010-2014 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L V8 cold air intake includes AEM Dryflow replacement air filter 28-20434. Using an AEM Dryflow replacement air filter helps to reduce the restriction inherent to using a stock disposable air filter. AEM Dryflow air filters are built with a non-woven synthetic air filter media to help increase airflow, and provide outstanding engine protection without the need for air filter oil. AEM Dryflow replacement air filters are washable and reusable and can even go up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under normal highway driving conditions. When it comes time to service the air filter, cleaning can be easily completed using the AEM air filter cleaner 1-1000. Cleaning is performed by following a simple four step process. Because an AEM dry filter does not require oil, the air filter can be returned to service sooner and with less effort.
In-house dyno testing shows that the AEM 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 cold air intake produced a surprising estimated 10 horsepower and 7 lb-ft maximum increase at the rear wheels of an otherwise stock 2014 Camaro SS 6.2L. By simply reducing restriction, and improving airflow the AEM performance 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2-liter V8 cold air intake system is able to improve horsepower and torque delivery across the entire RPM range. Making usable horsepower in common RPM ranges is a design goal at AEM as this yields a performance upgrade that can be used even during average driving situations.
The AEM cold air intake system 22-679C is an incredibly fast and easy upgrade for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models. In fact, by retaining the stock air filter box installation of AEM cold air intake 22-679C can be completed with a screwdriver and the simple to follow step by step instructions.
