I have had very good results using K & N filters in all my vehicles... and
that includes my cherokee 235. Challenger has STC's for K&N filter use in
aircraft. They cost a bit more, but they are head and shoulders above the old
Bracket type or the paper ones. Plus you can clean and reuse them over and
over.
I put the K & N on my 235 and, while it may have increased the power (didn't
notice that), it did lower my fuel burn about 1/2 Gallon per hour. Now days,
I think that pays for itself :)
Bottom line, if you use a cessna type filter setup, order a K & N filter
from challenger (or find the number and buy it from an auto store for your
experimental).

I would also make sure you size whatever filter you are using correctly for
not only the engine displacement, but power as well.

I have a air filter off a cessna 172 cowling it measures about 6" * 6.6". I
was thinking about putting the whole filter into the air stream as it would
be on a cessna. I just don't want to create too much pressure as well as lots
of drag. does anyone have a franklin with a scoop as well as some pics??
thanx Jeff
