Ramflo air filter on weber

[SLO247 1,713]

Anybody running one or have a pic of what it looks like? I want to run an air cleaner that isn't chrome like the standard redline etc ones, thought the Ramflo type may look good.

From everything I've heard those filters don't actually filter out that fine particles, they are quite dangerous as one backfire through the carby and they catch fire. In saying that I had one on a down draught weber that was on my datsun 120y. I never had any drama's with it but it was also only on a 1.2 litre 4 cylinder.

 

If you really didn't want the chrome but still wanted to retain good filter operation you could sand blast/sand the chrome lid and base then paint it or get it power coated.

Thought about doing that, shame the selection is so limited. 3 or 4 different styles and that's it.

I used em on 2L pinto motors with Down draught weber.

Work real well but not when old foam disintetgrates.

As long as it doesn't catch fire I'd like one, look the goods.

So long as your car is tuned so it doesn't backfire and the foam isn't old it should be ok. If you live in a dusty area you might want to try putting a cover over the filter as they don't really filter out all that much dust.
