Filter Minders for Dummies

[davidbrady]

Thanks Gary, I really appreciate it. For the icing on the cake, I still plan to instrument my intake system for validation of my calculations. We can all put our wallets back in our pockets though, because we're well within DD's specs. For those who still wish to spend hundreds to shave a few inches of water off, it may take quite a bit of driving to earn your money back. A few inches of water off our already free flowing intake systems will net less than 1% improvement in fuel mileage. Folks will need to do the calculations based on purchase price and gallons of fuel purchased to see where the brake even point is. For instance, I get 7 mpg now (which I do). If I improve my mileage by 1% and spend $400 doing it, and at $4.00 per gallon of fuel, I'll need to drive 70,000 miles to hit a break even point.

Here's an album showing pics of the bell tip on my LXi's intake system inlet:
