When I purchased my CSVT it came with one of these MonsterFlow intake filters already installed (stock intake box not included). Just wondering if anybody else on here has any experience with these. I did several searches and didn't find any pertinent info. I gotta admit it does sound rather nice (I believe the exhaust is 100% stock so that wouldn't make it sound better) and hope to be able to find more info about it from fellow CEG'ers as there isn't much out there on the web either. Thanks in advance....

I'm familiar with the Monster Flow Filter because I use it as a spare when I'm cleaning my KKM.
Sorry to say my Dyno results showed about a 3 to 5 HP loss with the Monster Flow over the stock filter and about 7 to 10 HP loss to a KKM.
As a result I read up on filters and found the suface area with foam filters typically has to be much larger to equal cotton/paper filter because foam is more restrictive.

SO with your kkm you gained 3 to 5 hp to hte wheels?

I'll post a pic once I get a chance to upload it somewhere to host it. I didn't think too much of it when I saw it as it's a bit unattractive & the foam itself is a turnoff. Thanks for the info 2deep2, so now I guess I should invest in a better quality (K&N or KKM) intake/filter & just use this MonsterFlow as a backup or paper weight .
Edit: Here's a site with a pic of this filter on it for what it's worth:

Yeap at the Wheel, don't have copies of the Dyno run any longer in that this was done maybe 5 years ago.
If you do a search on this forum there was a guy who posted back to back dyno results for NO filter, Stock Filter and KKM and he showed a 7 HP gain with KKM at the wheel. Most dyno's can have error in the 3 HP range so it's still a good 5 HP gain, which is what I found in my on dyno runs.
Cheapest HP upgrade, Remove the filter, may kill the engine, but then again its cheap.

maybe you should search again...kkm's reverse cone has shown to lose power on a duretec...any inverse cone filter is a bad choice for a duratec....also several people including demon had the kkm filter implode on high rpm runs,causing a major hp loss....i chunked that junk filter and used an ru 3530 on my old svt and it pulled alot harder,sounded better,and generally ran better with the k&n...the ONLY part of the kkm intake that is any good is the maf adapter...
