Air Filter Directly on Paxton/Vortech Head Unit

[kcc0521]

I bought that burger filter to run on mine then decided to just run the JLT on street and open blower at track. I am not certain that the open blower makes much difference. Maybe .1 in 1/4 at the most

I know at least a couple of us in Houston run it with no issues as of yet. I have the K&N one. My radiator has been trimmed a bit but there is still some clearance.

I could probably fit something larger. I'll post a pic later.

Does anyone have a 15-17' mani that is running the head unit filter or turbo guard and still has their IMRC's? I am trying to figure out if this line needs to be under vacuum or if i can just cap it/ throw a filter on it.

i have both the jlt and this k&n and i can tell you that the only real difference is how loud it is. the filter right on the supercharger is way louder. hp was the same

I reached out to PBD who tunes the car and they just said let it vent to atmosphere. So I threw a filter on it and car runs fine.

You would be correct, the blower is much louder with the head unit filter. My main goal was to clean up the engine bay for a fuel system.
