Paper air filters for Twin-H

Park_W

FYI, for those who have the smaller, non-oil bath Twin-H air cleaners and want to use, or are using modern paper elements in them: The correct (6 3/8" o.d.) elements for these used to be NAPA 2011. I recently ordered a pair and they turned out to be way too big. After some research my NAPA counter guy came up with 2110 as the current number for the correct filters. Got them today, and they are indeed the right size. Interestingly, the counter person today went into the system with the 2011 number and it showed the smaller, correct-for-us, filter. So, if you order these critters, expect some possible confusion.

I emailed K&N Filters about a Harley Davidson custom air cleaner I was looking into and them making a filter for them. They emailed me back about size etc. and interested in making them but the custom cleaner fell thru. Maybe you could check them out for the Hudson filters ?

I'm happy with the NAPA filters. Don't see the need to get fancy. LOL.

Ron,



K & N already offers an element that fits the Hudson air cleaner. I've got one on my '49. (I guess I saw the need to get fancy! lol) Bought it from my local parts jobber. I can get the part number tonight and let you know, if interested?

Same here, I have two on my Jet, but I couldn't find my paperwork to give you the part number. If I remember correctly it also fits a 1967 Fiat 124, but I could be wrong.

Ok, I cross referenced these numbers and came up with K&N E-2550. (Also fits Fiat 124, this is what's in my Jet)

Has anyone experienced problems while using K&N filters on modern vehicles?

No problem here with the K&Ns. I've had them on at least 7 different late model cars in the last 10 years. They made a noticeable difference in acceleration and MPG in the smaller cars I've owned. I don't have them in any of my modern vehicles at the moment, but that's because I haven't made the effort.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering if anyone had a problem with the wetting solution fouling up sensors.

I had nothing but great luck running them on all my modern stuff. I can't say enough about them.

I think I'll wait to purchase until the K&N packaging says "Endorsed by Hudsonkid."

Are you saying I shouldn't install an oil bath air cleaner on my Cadillac SRX?:D

Unknown

That's exactly it. You don't want an untidy engine bay in that Caddy. ;)Doesn't it make you wonder why all OEM's aren't using the K&N filters if they truely increase MPG and HP?

[Deleted User]

Because generic filters cost less money. If you build 100,000 cars and save $10 on each one because of the air filter, you just saved a million bucks.

Unknown

Sure, but what manufacturer wouldn't spend $10.00 to be able to increase CAFE numbers (MPG) and HP to the levels claimed by K&N?

I wonder what rules apply to the EPA test cars. Do they have to come equipped with the production air filter? If they do, do they have to retest every time they switch suppliers? Maybe the EPA test cars come equipped air filter 'delete' LOL

You're right, the EPA test cars are probably lacking an air filter. To boot, the gas tank probably contains only a gallon of fuel and the vehicle has no spare tire or weighty options. :eek:
