Green high performance air filter

[gomango392]

Here is a full in depth video on the Green air filter-

So it's been over a week since I installed the Green air filter. So far so good. I bought this solely to see if it truly made a difference and to see if it was snake oil or not.

Things I want to note. Throttle response, noticeably better. MPG, a slight improvement. I'd say 1mpg maybe 1.5 gain. I did tow with it installed the other day and it was up about 3 mpg than where it normally is with the stock filter when i tow. I did end up removing the carbon filter and I didn't notice much difference either but less air restriction can't hurt, that's just science.

As far as more power, I do not feel a difference in power but for 60 bucks I think it's worth it, especially being washable and potentially lifetime lasting as long as you keep it maintained.

Their website says the filter is for a 3liter v6…doesn’t inspire confidence

It's the same filter brotha, the 3.6 and 5.7 take the same filter, even oem

Neat, didn’t know that.

I went ahead and ordered one I have a K&N drop in filter in the truck right now so I’m curious how they compare. I’ll throw it in once I get the truck back from the body shop.

3.0 Diesel takes the same filter too!

I saw that and ignorantly assumed it was a typo. I learned something new today for sure

Definitely report back! I've never ran a drop in filter till now so I'm curious if you notice any difference between the 2!

The only thing a different air filter is going to do is increase/decrease the airflow. The MAS will adjust the fuel accordingly. Color me skeptical. Changing driving style will have more effect.

You will see zero difference. The K&N already flows more air than the truck will need. And when cruising at steady speed, when most of your fuel economy is calculated, unless 100% city driving, the engine doesn't need a lot of airflow. If you ever monitor throttle position with a scan tools you will see less than 20% while cruising. And even running no filter at all won't effect cruising fuel economy.

Pretty much, unless you are doing full throttle acceleration all the time, there won't be any difference in performance or fuel economy. This is why it's been proven CAI make little to no difference in these trucks. The factory intake flows plenty for the engine.

What's nice is it's 60 bucks and reusable vs an oem filter which is disposable and 40 bucks.

Buy a can of MAS cleaner now. You are going to need it when the filter gets over-oiled and messes up the MAS. Same as with the K&N's.

Yeah but he was going from a reusable K&N filter to another reusable filter. Both are oiled filters, probably the only real difference is the color of the oil used

What is a MAS sensor? If you mean MAF, Dodge/Ram has never used MAF sensors. They use speed density engine management

Mass Airflow Sensor

 

[DEG]

The factory paper filter will allow all the airflow a stock engine demands under any condition. There is no way changing an air filter will improve MPG by 1 - 1.5 mpg.

Yeah, that's a MAF sensor and Dodge/RAM have never used one

Ummm what MAS? I thunk you mean MAF, which the 5.7 does not have. These intakes don't have any sensors. Nothing to clean or get over oiled here

There is the IAT sensor, but that not effected by oil from a filter. And the MAP sensor, but the air doesn't flow through that to contaminate it.

Thanks, good to know.

Yep. The MAP mounted at the back of the intake manifold which is nowhere near the intake or the filter for that matter!
