Drycharger for the FIPK?? - 05/05/03 03:16 PM
Question....
I have heard that it is not a good thing to get water on the Filterchager provided with the K&N FIPK kit (for good reason). Two questions:
1) I assume incidental water is ok? With "incidental" I mean by the occsion water the enters the compartment during rain or normal driving conditions? Of course going through a mud pit a 40 mph wouldn't be a good thing. But against the incidentals how do you guard against that?
2) Knowing water is not your friend in this case, I was looking around and found an item called a "Drycharger" filter wrap. It is supposed to be pretreated to repel water from your filtercharger as it is wrapped around the filtercharger itself. Does anyone out there know about this item? If so is it worth the money? I have tried to find one that fits the FIPK filtercharger for the Xterra (RX-4750) but have come up empty to this point.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks
