GJM85 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I have a Redline 9inch air cleaner on my 32/36 DGV The round chrome ones. The base plate has started cracking which is apparently a common occurence with these filters. I prefer the look of these over others though i'm looking at a new filter, either a Ramflo or one of those square ones with either 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch cotton guaze washable type filter. Just after some insight as to which air cleaner, if any is better or if you know of any other option out there. Edited October 30, 2012 by GJM85 Quote
bruce Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I had a cheap ($20-$30) round chrome filter for a 32/36 Weber from auto1 and the base plate cracked as well from vibration. K&N filters are meant to good: http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=56-1040&CategoryID=16&PartsectionID=70 http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=56-9075&CategoryID=16&PartsectionID=70 Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I've found this site useful for weber parts, based in Australia too! Generic 32/36 filter Ramflo 32/36 filter Edited October 30, 2012 by LongJohnSilver Quote
snot35 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Most tests that I've seen seem to back K&N as filters that keep a high level for performance for a long time. If it was going to keep the setup for a while I reckon I'd go for K&N Quote
springersrolla Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Ramflos are good, sound good and work well, should easily find one for a weber Quote
NinjaMekanik Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I've found this site useful for weber parts, based in Australia too! was thinking about getting something from them as well. Have you bought from them LongJohnSilver? Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 was thinking about getting something from them as well. Have you bought from them LongJohnSilver? Not yet, but as soon as I have two pennies to rub together I'll be buying an air filter for my weber! I'll letcha know how it goes Quote
GJM85 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Posted October 31, 2012 I've bought a square redline air cleaner from the egay as it comes with the gasket and pcv fittings. $62. Has a paper filter unfortunately. When it needs replacing i'll try and get a cotton k&n type filter for it. The k&n types I saw on ebay are 68mm in height, where others are only 55mm and I have only 65mm between the top of the carb and my strut brace. Thus my decision was made for me. Quote
