Just wanted to help clear the air and maybe answer a few = questions. We designed a few different styles of air induction systems and = test flew them all on our company Legacy N199L. I was a part of this testin= g and the Air Induction system that Lancair now sells was the best applicat= ion for the IO550N engines. The kit design gives you the safety and reliabi= lity of a K&N 330 CFM filter with a Ram Air that allows 100% air flow for o= ptimal performance. The K&N filter is a 3 inch ID that is matched up with a= 3 inch OD tube for a sealed fit, just put a little grease or oil on the fi= lter ring and install the filter on the induction tube then tighten the hos= e clamp. We have not herd of any issues with the kit and it has performed w= ith out issue in all conditions if it would be racing at Reno or an everyda= y flight. I just looked at my Log's and two of our company aircraft has had= the same filter on it since July 2007. I do clean the filter at every 100h= r inspection or annually. We use the K&N recommended cleaning agent and fol= low their instructions. Please note if you start to see any damage to your = filter you should replace it right away, it's not worth the risk of contami= nation to the Cylinders, any questions please contact us.
