"Dirt" causes rapid wear in any engine. Off-road racers for example, depend on them. I can't say I ever saw a measurable difference in Manifold Pressure by adding a filter but I'm sure there is some loss. For the air racing that I did with the CJ, I replaced the whole unit with a ram air duct. I did design a retro-fit kit for a K&N style filter but it offered no advantage in performance or price. Order directly from Brackett, I think it is a B-197, you won't find it listed. I have operated from short, turf fields and the best fix for that is an M-14P. Suck it up, Go Big or Stay Home. BTW, Allen Baker of Gulfport, MS is the new, proud owner of N285CJ, he just got it home on Sunday after several days of sweating out Florida heat training with Pappy. Pappy hung in there but did look like one tired old dog on summer afternoons =F0=9F=98=82 Craig Payne ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:02:45 AM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Glider tow hitch From: "fougapilot" Guys, I know there is at least one CJ with a Glider towing hitch out in the USA. If memory serves, it arrived in the US already in this configuration. I would like some pictures of the installation, so whoever owns the airplane right now could you please contact me directly.

No significant loss of power noted. Might be over-doing this, but I change it every 50 hours. Here's an image of the packaging. As mentioned, this is not listed in their regular catalog.

I use one on my CJ6A and don't notice any power differences.

Got my M14 powered CJ two years ago. The bracket filter on the plane was adhered to the wire frame under and had to be soaked off with AV gas. I also change mine every 50 hours.
