More so thinking out loud always up for debate.Įdit: air going straight through the material opposed to through the angled material (means reduced velocity) which is my point here of restriction.Įdit 2: pleats restricting flow all I could find was HVAC lol. So material filtering capability outweighs surface area I guess? Area only comes into play for how long they recommend (mileage wise) running it?

I don’t think it necessarily improves air quality just because there is more pleats, just means you’re going to run it for longer. I’m not saying we should run no filter media, but I think there is a point where too many pleats just means people will run it for longer as there is more area before it “looks as bad” or it becomes clogged. I would think reducing any one of those restrictions is a win, it’s not that we are making the throttle body inlet area larger or smaller but less resistance for incoming air I would think is the good. From what I have heard from the guys at the store I used to work at the only difference is usually that the platinum filters have a wire backed synthetic filter medium.Doesn’t more filter material mean more restriction? I would think restriction number one is the air going into the air intake (area of the opening), then the air filter material area then the throttle body area.
