Well I got tired of trying to clean the bugs out of my pleats on my Airaid filter so I bought a pre-filter (part # 799-128) from 4wheel parts. Says it more than doubles cleaning intervals, water resistant, filters to 5 microns, no loss to power or airflow and all I have to do is wash with soap and water. I'll give it a try.

I had a couple of these over the last 5 years. They do work good, and will prolong the cleaning time of the filter, but the pre filter will have to be cleaned reguarly. LLoyd
GreenCrush, I've been using the Airaid prefilter for almost a year and it really keeps the filter from getting filthy. All the large debris that normally fills the pleats quickly wont get through the material. I think its a big help.

Cad, I no longer use that setup. I did clean the pre filter every 10,000 miles, with the whole unit every 20,000. Lloyd

2003 F450 rollback, with V10 power, 141K and still running great.
I went to the SP diesel filter (tymar style). 35,000 miles & still working good. I had one of the conical filters break the metal spine (on the fiter)so I went to the biggest filter that would fit. A little better flow. Lloyd
