Stock air filter Q? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

85Cruiser · 04-01-2003, 12:26 AM

Hey i am using my stock aircleaner for my 85 chevy and i was wondering do i need the inner filter thing? I bought a K&N and I think that Inner filter is messing stuff up like cutting back on my airflow. Can someone help me. Thanks.

Hey! Another Californian! The middle thing is a charcoal filter to keep gas fumes & stuff from all the emissions crap from coming back out. I'm pretty sure you can take it out and won't have any adverse effects. Just don't quote me on that

Hey thanks for the help i think i will take that out and take whatever the out come may be. Where is Turlock? I am in bakersfield is that north or south? Thanks

apstguy · 04-01-2003, 02:53 AM

Turlock is DEAD CENTER of Cali and the central valley. Your 192 miles away. Turlock is North from you. It is right by Modesto. Your about 3 1/2 hours way.

We should get a meet going so all the boys from Cali can get together and talk trucks. It no fair that all those Texas guys get all the fun. Do you have AIM? If so my screen name is chevydrivor and feel free to IM me sometime. Later

Inner filter?? EHHHHH???? lol Never seen that haha

Removing the inner screen filter caused me no problems.
Only thing to expect is higher idle speed (100rpm or so), so you'll need to adjust that. I have had mine out for awhile now and no problems. Alot of other guys have removed them too without problems.

Hey I was born in Visalia but have since moved to Arkansas boy do I miss Cali!!!!! You should be fine without the element.

85Cruiser · 04-01-2003, 07:45 PM

LOHRTBT every time i see your truck I just appreciate it more and more. I hope I can get my truck to look half that good. Where did you get your kick pannels? And do you have the demensions of that box you built because that is pretty damn sweet? Thanks

c10scotty · 04-01-2003, 09:37 PM

are yuo talking about the crankcase breather filter?

85Cruiser · 04-01-2003, 09:57 PM

I have no clue what its called but it is on the inside of the aircleaner and the air filter goes around it. So what ever that is.

Mike76251 · 04-01-2003, 10:29 PM

Its called a spark arrester.

apstguy · 04-02-2003, 12:37 AM

I just know it has something to do with emissions. They don't check it so toss it. Us Californians do need to meet up! We can't let the other big state take our fun!!!!

85Cruiser · 04-02-2003, 12:45 AM

Dude we should meet in like Tulare or Visalia. That seems like a good place. Lets try to get this going.

apstguy · 04-02-2003, 12:51 AM

Hmm... Never heard of those places. Maybe we should meet half way - like Fresno or some smaller town around there. Anyone live closer we could meet at???
