Hi snorkel dorks,
I came across AOB's precleaner filter for Ram heads. It's a 3d printed grill that allows you to use replaceable foam/filter as a precleaner, almost like a cartridge system. You don't have to buy filters from them, you can cut up any fish tank or Hippa filter foam from home depot if you wanted, but the kit from AOB came with a ton of filters, or you can probably wash and reuse em if you are a cheapskate. There is also drain holes on the bottom to allow the prefilter to dry and not allow water into the snorkel when the vehicle is parked.
I was running cyclonic precleaner, and while i love that thing, it did have a minor drawback, a slight loss of power, which meant a slight loss of MPG cuz you had to push the accelerator more, and Im already in single MPG territory.
SO back to the AOB precleaner kit, it comes with a red and green filter, and one is suppose to allow more airflow and the other is suppose to filter better but allow for less airflow. It is a bit gimmicky. You don't have to run any filter if you don't want to, and it copies the ARB ram head grill perfectly.
I wanted this filter mainly to stop dead bugs, leaves, and pebbles from getting into my airbox, secondary to dust filtration. I also didn't want to run a filter sock, mainly cuz they fall off all the time.
Anyways, on to the pics:
cheers.
