It makes popcorn and I installed it because my kids love popcorn.
It's a precleaner. It keeps 85-99% of the crap out of your airfilter. When you start the engine, 4 blades (almost like short windshield wipers) start to spin (they get their movement just from the air flow), air enters the bottom and into the clear chamber, as air passes the blades hit the particulate stuff and knocks it out an exhaust port on the side. They've been used on tractors etc. for years.
I installed it prepping for the race in April which I expect to be very dusty. I'll leave it on for awhile to be sure there's no issues with it coming loose and then take it off until the race. Then I'll only use it in desert runs.
I ran death valley twive in the H2. On the second trip my air filter clogged to the point that I needed to stop and clean it.
Blow off responsibilities, growing up, and all the boring things in life and do something cool.
9/16" nuts/bolts on the flanges. Make sure you PB blast them good. Ratcheting wrenches work great on this, along with an air ratchet. And wear your goggles, and maybe a mask over your mouth, too. I had a face full of crap, but then again my truck is pretty old.
