u/BallsMahoganey Oct 19 '20

I hope the masks filtering abilities aren't at the usual K&N standard...

u/snrten Oct 19 '20

Well they are (contain yourself, now) washable... reusable... and contain... "silver ions". Oooh, aaah

Here try this instead - https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/10/20-0948_article

“The filtration, effectiveness, fit, and performance of cloth masks are inferior to those of medical masks and respirators. Cloth mask use should not be mandated for healthcare workers, who should as a priority be provided proper respiratory protection. Cloth masks are a more suitable option for community use when medical masks are unavailable. Protection provided by cloth masks may be improved by selecting appropriate material, increasing the number of mask layers, and using those with a design that provides filtration and fit. Cloth masks should be washed daily and after high-exposure use by using soap and water or other appropriate methods.”

They uh... kind of fit like holding a sheet to your face and are... somewhat ineffective because they don’t hug the nose.

It would also cover whatever the human body equivalent of a mass airflow sensor is in oil.

You need a matching exhaust system to get the full benefit of an aftermarket intake.

Imagine having a second butthole installed.

Can I use a K&N cabin air filter as a filter for a mask? Asking for a friend. Gotta say, the cabin air filter is a life changer for my car. Saves me $30 an oil change and it's easy to clean.

u/Throttlechopper Oct 19 '20

You haven’t lived until you tried the oil-bath filter, it is a game-changer!

u/kingofcloudsz Oct 19 '20

still more effective

u/Jezza567 Oct 19 '20

And it makes you sweat less, and run faster!

u/zatemxi Oct 20 '20

Just inject brake cleaner or blast your body with UV dye

u/Kingpin_J Oct 20 '20

Add a turbo and blow your lungs with air 😀

u/OBGravey Oct 20 '20

Foggy! Hot air intake.

u/refurb Oct 20 '20

You should only do this after you wash the filter in gasoline and oil it with 5W-30. Otherwise it won’t filter out the virus.

u/01000110010110012 Oct 20 '20

Hot air intakes don't work all that well.

u/D4698 Oct 20 '20
