Hello,

How hot would the outside of the air meter get? More precisely could you just bolt a good reusable filter right to it. ( eliminating the whole air box assembly!!!!) ?????

Those new oiless filters seem like they would be good for this.
I thought I read somewhere that the grid measures the air with the wires at 1000 deg F. That has to be wrong!!!Please inform mw if you know.

Thanks -JC

Thousands of ricers out there running pod filters directly on the AFM. But most of them do it for the noise it makes.

The temp won't be a problem. The wire might get that hot (esp if self cleaning), but it's tiny and the housing won't.

thanks, that's what I thought because there is no warning about burning yourself!!!

the sensing elements are situated such that you'd have to have mighty tiny fingers to get near the hot parts.
