Any updates?
Sorry for the delay. But like many new projects there are always a few set backs.

We had to wait for the machine to get freed up to create the mold. That is taking place as we speak. Once done, it then needs to be re treated a few times and finessed so the parts come out beautiful. Yeah I know its a filter... lol But we like when the parts look a certain way. Its a radical design. Its one of the more difficult molds we are having made so its taking a bit more time.

The date was pushed up a little, but we are on it. We will have something real soon. We are looking at before the end of the month.

Understand completely, ramping up a new part can have difficulties. Keep us posted.Only reason I asked is because it's about time to swap out the paper filter I have now.

Any flow data comparisons?
Testing data you can share?
What is pricing looking like?
Any cool pictures of the machine that makes it, lol?

They both use the same filter, but the 18+ GT air box is larger and supposedly flows more. It's a direct swap for 15-17 GT's.

I can assure you that the tube from the air cleaner to the engine has a larger diameter. the rest of the top unit fits onto the 15-17 air box.

I should have the proto real soon. We just have to see how things go this Friday with the mold. Again, because of certain ridges..etc its a pretty complex mold. But Im confident my guys will make it happen.

The Nano media created for the Attack blue is simply amazing. Filtration is still super important. Yeah getting some more horsies is always good but protecting that engine is job one. We did the standard ISO test and went sub micron with fine dust, not large (which some companies do). We took it one step further and tested under ASHREA52.2 which is used for breathable air quality! A bit overboard but why not.

Here are the results for our nano vs a leading oiled filter media from an independent test.

Besides the media the new design will also add to the flow which will create more power.
Im not sure on price yet. But yes it will be a little more then the other options available. However this filter will be washable and reusable. Use soap and water. No oil. No special cleaner.
So in the long run its actually cheaper and far better.

Can we get the comparison with a good paper filter like a Napa gold/wix?

Proto is done. Its a slightly different design. We think its bitchin. We are now in the middle of testing, getting numbers...etc.
I'll have more info shortly.

Thanks!
When do you estimate we can buy one? I’m down if it’s pretty soon.
