I noticed only my left side filter is really dirty (black) and my right side is 95% clean. Is that normal?? Also, are the filters covered by the warranty??

Edit


Passanger side (left) dirty

Driver side (right) clean

Not sure if I would consider this normal bro... Might want to take it in to service to get it checked out(?)... No I don't think the filters are under warranty...

 

Filters are wear and tear, but you want to make sure your not having any issues, like blockage or anything. Plus the filters are probably fine it would be something else in the system that would prevent air from moving through on side.

Wow, don't know either. That's a huge difference though. You should've pulled these out earlier and asked everybody. lol

 

oh yeah... i should of huh?? haha

JY

 

How many miles do you have on the car, Skyline-Lexy?

 

first time i checked was 12,000 and since than i changed the filters around but its not getting as dirty..

JY

 

I checked mine this past weekend and I'm at 11,500. Mine were about the same, so I think it is normal.

 

hmm.... this other tread had some problem as me...

This kind of bothers me still. So what's the conclusion here? Do we all have a dirtier passenger side filter? If so that means there appears to be much greater air flow on that side. Is that normal? Maybe CAI guys like Injen can explain this.

 

Some said you should change the filter... so you dont lose power..

JY

 

That was me... my filters were also unevenly dirty, so maybe there is more airflow on one side... I am going to install a JWT pop charger and compare...if the airflow is similar, both will have similar results...

is that normal to have one side to have more airflow?? thats my main concern... some people arent having this uneven filters...

stop driving with dirty passengers
