Why Choose GrimmSpeed?

Filter Design is a delicate balancing act, the overall goal of creating a good air filter is to find the ideal combination of flow, filtration efficiency and holding capacity. There is a difference between simply making a unit that fits in a factory intake box and engineering a performance air filter. Some air filters are constructed with a cotton or synthetic media combined with an oil to increase filtering ability.

This can increase flow, however it also means more difficult filter maintenance because of the need to properly re-oil the filter. We decided to use a dry-construction media, utilizing two different Layers of synthetic material with varied filtering and flow abilities, resulting in very similar flow capability to the oiled media while maintaining the same filtering efficiency.

Since other important variables in air filter Design including the pleat pitch, count and depth can make or break the performance of a filter, extensive testing was required.

Testing

We contracted a 3rd party OEM Test Lab using SAE-5011 OEM Air Filter Standards for our initial filter Designs. All of these were the same size and Fitment, but used varied filter media including pleat pitch, count, depth, material and construction.

The first data set explores pressure drop across the filter before and after saturation since it directly relates to the performance potential of the filter. Chart 1 shows that the pressure drop of all clean and dirty filters was very similar, identifying the filtering ability of each panel.

The next data set focuses on the filtration ability in each filter; Chart 2 illustrates that filters A and B allowed far too much of the test dust to flow through, with filter C being the optimal candidate for additional performance-based testing. We took the general construction of this unit and modified it into 3 different pleat variations.

Since ultimate performance of an air filter is based on its flow ability, we wanted to see how different pleat packs would compare to the OEM filter in terms of CFM through the filter as well as dust capacity.

Chart 3 illustrates that as flow increases, capacity decreases. We see that the performance of the filters has substantially increased Over the OEM unit, at the slight cost of Reduction in dust capacity. Arguably the Most important criteria of the filter is its ability to resist the flow of contaminants. The OEM filter was found to filter at 99. 7 Percent, with all three of our test filters scoring almost identically with 99. 2 Percent or above as illustrated in chart 4.

All of these filters would be exceptional choices. After this very comprehensive testing, we were able to select a Design that meets the GrimmSpeed standard and Best balanced the ultimate flow potential with the dust holding capacity as illustrated in Chart 5.

This filter maintains the same efficiency as OEM, but has an increase in CFM by 62 Percent. The Reduction in dust holding capacity is an acceptable middle ground between the filter choices and will still retain a lengthy maintenance interval.

Dyno Testing

In order to properly evaluate the performance gains of The GrimmSpeed Dry-Con Air Filters, we did four wide open throttle pulls with the OEM air filter, then four more with our unit on a 2020 factory-tuned STI test car. The outlier run was thrown out and results were averaged as shown in Chart 6.

We can see a solid 9 ft/lbs of torque difference and a consistent 6 whp gain from 5400rpm until Redline with the GrimmSpeed filters. There is Reduction in restriction in the top end that shows well here and has a direct relation to the performance of the air filter.

Conclusion

The GrimmSpeed Dry-Con Air Filter flows an amazing 62 Percent better than OEM, features a 99. 2 Percent efficiency and is easy to service without the added hassle of proper re-oiling. Through testing, we saw an increase of 9 ft/lbs of torque and 6 whp at the top end of the RPM range with no engine tuning involved.

First, the sizing is absolutely perfect for these projects. Instead of wasting large sheets and having to cut them down, these pre-cut sizes save a ton of time and effort — and most importantly, reduce paper waste. The quality of A-Sub paper has always been excellent: it holds vibrant colors beautifully, releases ink consistently, and produces crisp, sharp designs. Both of these sizes continue that tradition. I’ve noticed my images transfer smoothly and evenly every time, whether I'm working on ceramic mugs or glass tumblers. In terms of value, these smaller sheets are definitely worth the price. You get professional-quality results without using more paper than you need, which in the long run saves money and materials. Overall, I highly recommend these A-Sub sublimation papers for anyone looking to streamline their mug and tumbler production. They’re efficient, reliable, and a great investment for any sublimation business or hobbyist. - send me stuff to review.

Best Choice for Sublimation Paper
Size: 13x19inch
I'm just a beginner but have been doing sublimation for about a year. Of all the papers I have tried, A-Sub is by far the best for color transfer and ease of use. I also use A-Sub for my photo printing. I am now a firm believer in their products and don't see changing.
