They don't filter much. Look at the size of the holes in the foam. I had one for a while, and found visible sand inside the carb.
Will disintegrate w/ age , and put the small foam particles in ur engine , probly wont really hurt the engine , but kinda nasty , and filtering ability gets worse and worse.

I guess we are OT from original post a bit here.

I hear ya. The foam seems reasonably dense but I have no micron rating for it. There is possibly bypass happening around the filter too. For degradation, I will keep an eye on it. Will change it out in time if I can find a suitable quality low profile one. Only have around 2" and then I get into clearance issues.
