They melt, I’ve seen it first hand

jwick

Then it wasn’t protected properly.

I highly doubt that’s the case, one buddy has replaced 5 filters. Another friend had the heat shield installed filter still melted, and another buddy had a shop install his kit and his filter melted. Plenty more cases where guys have had the filters melt and just haven’t brought up to attention. I plan on racing with this kit, and rather not deal with the headache of a filthy or melted filter.

Then they aren’t doing proper heat management. Doesn’t change that you will feel more comfortable if you move the filter. I have run the kit for almost six years and had no filter issues. If you do proper heat management, it won’t be a problem.

The only heat management you can do is to move the filter placement. I have shielded, wrapped and header armored all around and in every case there are varying degrees of filter melt. Wrapping the manifold is fruitless. I've narrowed the source of the heat to the header/manifold flange. If you tried to wrap the fit would be difficult in and out. If you shield the filter itself it also makes it a difficult push in or coming out. The melting area is located in the 1'oclock to 10'oclock area of the filter. At it's mildest it raised the silicone and made it shiny, at it's worst it bubbled the silicone and was almost completely sheared. If it wasn't a problem there wouldn't exist two separate attempts to remedy. I have a collection of filters and also photos of my various attempts to mitigate. In the latest try I have used header armor on the manifold and around the filter and so far I'm ok but this is a stopgap for the relocation kit to be up and readily available. That's what I'm waiting for.

What turbo are you running?

Moving the filter to the front won’t melt the filter. That was the whole reason behind the move. Hence why he also came out with the heat shield. Filter melting is a issue with this kit, just because yours didn’t or hasn’t melted doesn’t change the fact of the matter. You have any pictures to prove your statement throughout the six years? How many miles are you drivingbetween filter changes, your car a daily or hard parked.
