for real? or BS?
I found this on eBay.. it seems bogus
The Story On RamFX Filters -
The RamFX direct replacement air filter is the best dirty filter in the world. The statement sounds kind of funny, but what other air filter manufacturers do not tell you is that their filtration claims and air flow ratings are based on a brand new, prefectly clean filter.
The problem is, you really never run a brand new, prefectly clean filter on your car. The minute you turn the key after swapping out the old one, the filter starts filling up with dust and dirt - and losing airflow. It is just matter of degree, or how dirty.
A RamFX air filter is developed around the fact that your car spends its entire life running with a dirty air filter. Our filter is made to flow more air when it has ten or twenty thousand miles on it, than a brand new filter from the competition.
But why is a RamFX filter the best , dirty or otherwise? It is our proprietary air filtration technology. We call it polymer impregnated volume media or PIVM and it is the next teknology in air filters and air induction systems.
Paper filters rely on 'surface' technology where dirt is trapped on the surface of the filter element - a bigger particle trapped by a smaller hole. Oil impregnated cotton gauze filters rely on what its originator calls 'depth loading' - oil coated fibers trap dirt throughout the depth or thickness of the cotton gauze.
But the depth of a cotton gauze filter is really no more than the thickness of a t-shirt. Its performance really just mimics the older 'surface' technology of paper elements. During extreme use or long service, either style of filter is overcome by surface loading, reducing airflow. In fact, the originator of the cotton gauze filter admits that airflow through their filter is reduced 40 percent when it is dirty.
For either technology, ultimate filtering capability is then directly related to surface area. That is why they pleat the filter. But no conventional filter can hope to duplicate the total surface area of a RamFX air filter. Our unique reticulated Aerofoam material has millions of air passages coated with a sticky polymer.
The airborne containments adhere to the walls of the pathways as they wind their way through the 25mm thick, three stage volume construction. Even the smallest particulates, measured in microns, are captured progressively through the entire structure while eliminating the surface loading of conventional filters.
This breakthrough air filtration technology of a RamFX filter gives your car the best air filtration possible and a noticeable increase in power due to its enhanced air flow over a long service life. Horsepower improvements vary depending on the vehicle make, model and year, but a two to eight horsepower increase is common.
It is a lifetime investment for your car and the last filter you will ever have to buy. Conservatively, over 25,000 miles service intervals can be expected before it is necessary to clean and then renew the filter with an application of our Dirt Retention Polymer
After every restoration, regardless of the number of times it has been cleaned, a RamFX filter will once again perform to its original design capability Ð maximum filtration efficiency, high dust holding capability, low airflow restriction and long service life, while improving engine power. Would you expect less from the best dirty filter in the world ?
Features -
Improved engine performance due to enhanced airflow over a longer service life.
Traps up to 4 times more dirt than paper filters and up to 2 times more than cotton-gauze ones.
Filter is reusable, just clean with our PRC solvent and retreat with DRP treatment.
Soft, flexible seal conforms to airbox to prevent dirt from getting around filter.
Opening bid is less than the price of an OE filter from your dealer.
Achieves filtration efficiency of up to 99 percent.
Carries a Limited Lifetime warranty.
Retails for $35 to $42 dollars.
World patents pending.
Application list, this filter will fit any -
1990-2000 Lexus LS400 with the 4.0L V-8 engine.
