Why Choose GrimmSpeed?

Filter Design is a delicate balancing act, the overall goal of creating a good air filter is to find the ideal combination of flow, filtration efficiency and holding capacity. There is a difference between simply making a unit that fits in a factory intake box and engineering a performance air filter. Some air filters are constructed with a cotton or synthetic media combined with an oil to increase filtering ability.

This can increase flow, however it also means more difficult filter maintenance because of the need to properly re-oil the filter. We decided to use a dry-construction media, utilizing two different Layers of synthetic material with varied filtering and flow abilities, resulting in very similar flow capability to the oiled media while maintaining the same filtering efficiency.

Since other important variables in air filter Design including the pleat pitch, count and depth can make or break the performance of a filter, extensive testing was required.

Testing

We contracted a 3rd party OEM Test Lab using SAE-5011 OEM Air Filter Standards for our initial filter Designs. All of these were the same size and Fitment, but used varied filter media including pleat pitch, count, depth, material and construction.

The first data set explores pressure drop across the filter before and after saturation since it directly relates to the performance potential of the filter. Chart 1 shows that the pressure drop of all clean and dirty filters was very similar, identifying the filtering ability of each panel.

The next data set focuses on the filtration ability in each filter; Chart 2 illustrates that filters A and B allowed far too much of the test dust to flow through, with filter C being the optimal candidate for additional performance-based testing. We took the general construction of this unit and modified it into 3 different pleat variations.

Since ultimate performance of an air filter is based on its flow ability, we wanted to see how different pleat packs would compare to the OEM filter in terms of CFM through the filter as well as dust capacity.

Chart 3 illustrates that as flow increases, capacity decreases. We see that the performance of the filters has substantially increased Over the OEM unit, at the slight cost of Reduction in dust capacity. Arguably the Most important criteria of the filter is its ability to resist the flow of contaminants. The OEM filter was found to filter at 99. 7 Percent, with all three of our test filters scoring almost identically with 99. 2 Percent or above as illustrated in chart 4.

All of these filters would be exceptional choices. After this very comprehensive testing, we were able to select a Design that meets the GrimmSpeed standard and Best balanced the ultimate flow potential with the dust holding capacity as illustrated in Chart 5.

This filter maintains the same efficiency as OEM, but has an increase in CFM by 62 Percent. The Reduction in dust holding capacity is an acceptable middle ground between the filter choices and will still retain a lengthy maintenance interval.

Dyno Testing

In order to properly evaluate the performance gains of The GrimmSpeed Dry-Con Air Filters, we did four wide open throttle pulls with the OEM air filter, then four more with our unit on a 2020 factory-tuned STI test car. The outlier run was thrown out and results were averaged as shown in Chart 6.

We can see a solid 9 ft/lbs of torque difference and a consistent 6 whp gain from 5400rpm until Redline with the GrimmSpeed filters. There is Reduction in restriction in the top end that shows well here and has a direct relation to the performance of the air filter.

Conclusion

The GrimmSpeed Dry-Con Air Filter flows an amazing 62 Percent better than OEM, features a 99. 2 Percent efficiency and is easy to service without the added hassle of proper re-oiling. Through testing, we saw an increase of 9 ft/lbs of torque and 6 whp at the top end of the RPM range with no engine tuning involved.

Bad Product
Size: 20oz
There was no pressure in the can. It would not even inflate a bicycle tire. Be careful there is no amazon refund or return with this item!

IT WORKS, IT REALLY WORKS!
Size: 16oz, Size: 16oz
I carry a tire plug kit in my van. Low pressure light came on and quickly made my way to air pump. Checked out tire and was at least a 5/16" bolt right between tread, very easy to locate (hissing). Inflated tire, prepared plug, pulled out bolt, inserted plug done. Almost home light came on again. Used water soap and plug was still leaking. Tried double plug and still leaking, but would take days to trigger low pressure light. Tire still had decent tread and didn't have facilities to patch, so got a can of fix a flat. I have never believed in this stuff, but it worked. No low pressure warnings for about a month. Around here they would charge $50 for a patch, 2 .25 cent soft rubber plugs and fix a flat, problem resolved!

Buy it! Lifesaver!
Size: 16oz
Yes, buy it when you don't have a spare tire because you will need it! I live in Florida and flat tires are just part of living here! Saved my life twice already and is absolutely self explaining! Cheaper then a spare tire, lighter than one too! Just throw it in your trunk and best case you will never need it but just in case!

Difficult to use and eventually hose end broke
Size: 24oz, Size: 24oz
I purchased this can of Fix-A-Flat to fix, what I believe, is a rim leak on my truck tire which needs to be filled once every week or so. When I attempted to use the product I let some air out of the tire (down to 25 psi) so it would be easier to dispense the contents. The instructions on the can say to have the valve on the tire at the 6 o'clock...which I did as well. When I attempted to make the connection using the swivel connector on the can's hose it was difficult. The hose on the can is very short and stiff and because it came coiled in the can's lid, did not want to straighten out making connecting it to the tire a very awkward process. It was hard to screw the hose end on the valve without it binding so it felt like it was cross-threading. I have machined aluminum valve caps and they go one very easily so I know the threads on the tire's valve stem are clean. I finally did get it on and when I attempted to dispense the contents it filled the hose but that was about it. I could not see any contents flowing thru the hose at all. I assumed it was not on far enough so I took it off to try again and the contents sprayed everywhere showing it was indeed under pressure....just not going into the tire. After multiple tries the hose end eventually just broke off and stayed on the tire's valve stem. I was able to get it off, but at this point the can is useless to me. Obviously I cannot and will not recommend this product. I have used this product before and had success, but that was when the hose was longer and wired to the side of the can making it much easier to use, versus how they are shipped now. I would recommend going with another product or possible going to a box store (which is what I plan to do) to find one that does not have this design. At the very least, if you do choose to disregard this review, I would try it with the tire's valve stem at the 3 or 9 o'clock position which might make it easier to thread the hose end on to the valve stem,. Also, if you choose to go this route you might just be throwing your money away. I attempted to get a refund from Amazon and was directed to the manufacture's web site. From there you are directed to use the 800 number of leave a general message that is in no way connected to your Amazon purchase. Past experience tells me it will not be an easy process so it looks like I am out the $12.
