Drop In Air Filter For '05 GT & V6
To achieve more air flow we use more, deeper pleats per filter. Steeda Filters are manufactured using four layers of the highest quality cotton gauze. All of this adds up to more surface area per filter which means more air flow to the intake of the engine

 

Is that better than the K&N replacement filter I just purchased?

Probably bout the same I would imagine.

And are either really better than the stock filter ?

Dyno results pls !!

 

hmm... so deeper pleats means more horsepower... I'm gonna design a 4 inch thick air filter and make millions!

 

Deeper pleats mean more surface area. They're not talking thickness of the material, but the height of the "zig zags" in the filter. I'm sure there's a diminishing return somewhere though, as in all other things.

 

sounds fishy to me. Wouldn't deeper pleats make it harder for the air to get through. Now, WIDER pleats would let air through easier IMO.

 

So many claims, so little data !!

 

I'd say dump the restrictive airbox and go with one of the many open air cone filters instead, at some point anyway.....

 

Is that a lifetime filter? More info please. Dyno's? Price? [/b][/quote]
thats all the info so far

 

I just installed in a few 05s and should have some dyno numbers in a week or two. I will post them

Deeper pleats means more surface area so that equates to "less restrictive". Same results as a "cone" style K&N, MMR, C&L...well the dyno results will tell us that but I would think the answer is no because cone filters have greater surface area than a flat filter.
