AFE filter stock box still pulls 3" WC

[Guest00]

New fleetguard AF pulled 10" wc on round trip to Tulsa Sat. & Sun. . Mon. I installed an AFE filter, took trailer for a spin and still pulled 3" WC. Too much turbo noise now so Psyc. is out. guess Ill have to rig up a ram air set up W / vacuum cleaner hose or something.

"too much turbo noise so psyc is out" ???
So you have psyc and its to loud or just the filter made it louder? Can you clear this up.

Thanks

I'm pretty happy with my AFE filter. I have noticed it draws the wc some, but not near as much as the stock filter with the foam gone. I haven't towed using it yet, but I think I'll settle with AFE for now.

What does WC stand for? and what does the brand of air filter have to do with noise. I guess I just don't understand what this topic is about.

(wc = water column) Vacuum or pressure is measured in inches of water column.
A manometer is used to measure this.

3" WC is pretty good for a smaller filter. Most industrial engines run around 1. 5" with new filters and don't change them out till around 15". If the stock filter is at 10" out of the crate, thats pretty poor. Getting the inlet restriction down any further will be very tough without some large geometry changes to the filter area or as you have illuded to, an induction system.
Let us know what you come up with.

Too much turbo noise with stock air box and afe. Psycotties is absolutly not an option, will figure out some sort of added induction air through the lower portion of stock box and runng hose to front of grill for cool intake air.
