STRAIGHT ANSWER

has anyone heard of the flow rating on this filter? i've heard of a lot of guesses.

thanx

 

[Jeff H]

Still waiting. Get with it ups.

 

[RDietze]

the company doesn't even know the flow rating of the pg7. - wtf. they say it flows 10% less..... ok, 10% less as compared to the Magnum force - i could do even that math - how do they know it flows 10% less -- this is rediculous!

do they have a piece of test gear that is marked off in 10% graticules..... "yep, it's 10% less alrighty..... cue, cue, cue... ... ..... "

so with that, how do you know it is 99% efficient in stopping foriegn material?

 

[Jeff H]

Call up AFE to see how much it flows. Joe Donnely Should know also.

Finally came today. Took about 45 minutes to install. Stuff is tight fitting.

Turbo sounds like a 747. But not to loud.

i had correspondence w/AFE

i'm not on this site just "stirring propaganda"

that is my problem w/a lot of the vendors - they introduce a product, make outlandish claims w/no bonafide test data to back it up - and when someone asks them to prove it, they always respond w/ a stupid answer.

 

[Jeff H]

Before AFE :{

With AFE Oo.

 

[RDietze]

i hear ya' JEFFH, the information you provided above is hands-down more info and has more credabilty what you can get from some vendors/companies. especially the Oo. data point

Rdietz,I stopped by AFE today and talked to Nick,They do have the flow numbers for the Proguard filter. I have the excell spread sheet with all the numbers. It will be added to Mr Bobs website soon. But for now I can tell you that it flows 698 cfm @ 1. 5"h2o.

This should answer your question and put the guesses to bed. I personally have never seen any of those outlandish claims. I have seen their flowbench,dyno,shop,and have learned a lot from my visits with Nick. I will try to figure out how to post the chart here.

outstanding bob! it is good to see some numbers. it is ironic how AFE has no such data? i was not talking "inperticular" to AFE, there are others out there (i. e. aeroturbine, TAG) that release products and "ho-hum" around getting the facts to the consumer - don't you think bonafide results would preclude the release of a product? i do appreciate the data - thanx much! at 698 cfm that is comparable to a BHAF - it will definatly aid in my decision for my next intake... . or shall i say... my next under-the-hood INVENTION!

Here is the chart that Bob is talking about:

10% flow restriction??????

thanks for the chart!



right away I see at max flow the restriction looks more like 20% rather than the reported 10% (Proguard7 v. MegaForce) that was reported @10% by AFE. i'm sure saying there was a 10% v. 20% restriction; will/has sell/sold that many more filters/intakes -- this is the point i am trying to make - only reporting a 10% restriction (which is false) when there is a 20% restriction when you see all the data.

knowing there is a 20% restriction that has comparable flow rates to BHAF AND paying ~$220 more than a BHAF intake would set you back, would definately turn a lot of potential buyers away from the AFE Pg7

apalling

that stock-box flow rate is certainly apalling - the ctd is an airpump - obvioulsy pickup diesel manufactures are not privy to this
