I ran one of those thin mesh pre-filters on Go Man Go and wanna get one for the 170. Anyone know what size etc? BWoody has a Redeye one for a whopping $70!! but I figure I can get one from somewhere like Outers for half that. I just need the size or P/N.

Bugs are really collecting in the pleats and with the large hood scoop water can saturate the filter if I ever get caught in the rain so I figure the pre-filter is a good idea. The one on the old car kept the filter much cleaner.

JLT has one not sure the price. I bought a new opened legmaker and it was missing or I would give it to you so they have one also

I drive my car in plenty of rain and never been an issue. My 13 mustang filter also saw rain through the vents in the hood

I absolutely run a pre-filter, mostly for the bugs, maybe some for water? I got mine when I bought my Legmaker, so I unfortunately don't have a separate source for you. They are easy to take off when you want that extra little bit of performance at the track.

My guess on pre-filters they are worth 0 hp loss based on CAI testing. So if you have one then run it if you want, I have never had one

Ah, JLT is what I ran on Go Man Go. I'll check with them and Outerwears tomorrow. My filter creases are already covered in crap. I'd rather have it than not.

I believe JLT is now S&B? You have to know what specific size your filter is @Speedy to see if they have something compatible. For example, this is a 5x7 pre-filter for my 5.7 Hemi. They may not have one for your filter if it’s not an S&B filter. Check on Sbfilters.com image.jpg

The JLT pre-filter is/was made by Outerwears on the three kits I have - P/N is 20-3103-01/JLT for black (paid ~$35 on most recent purchase). Not sure if this fits the Demon filter.
